Mike Kazlausky is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the Air Force Falcons baseball team. He was named to that position on an interim basis prior to the 2011 season, and was made permanent after the season.[1]

Kazlausky walked on at Air Force in 1988 and became a four year starter. He was an All-WAC player in his junior and senior seasons, led the team in batting two years, and ranks among the top Falcons in many offensive categories. He graduated with eight career records. After graduation, Kazlausky became an Air Force pilot. He returned to the Academy and served as an Assistant Coach from 1993 to 1995. He then was posted to Charleston Air Force Base, flying the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. He returned again to the Academy as an instructor in 2000, and served until 2004 as a volunteer assistant baseball coach. After two and a half years deployed abroad, Kazlausky returned again to the Academy and served his third tour as an assistant coach from 2006 to 2008. He returned again in 2011 to serve as interim head coach, and retired after 20 years of service to become full-time head coach of the Falcons in 2012.[1][2][3][4][5]
