Adam Boeve

Bio

Former professional baseball player Adam Boeve became Morningside's head coach in May 2017. He completed his eighth season leading the Mustangs in 2025.  

Boeve is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, where he was an NCAA Division I All-American before he went on to play for seven years in the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league organization.

Boeve has coached at the collegiate and high school levels as the assistant head baseball coach at Northwestern College from 2009-14 and the head baseball coach at Maurice-Orange City/Floyd Valley High School from 2012-14 and helped lead both schools to conference championships. In November 2014, he was named the executive director of the Sioux Empire Baseball Association, an organization headquartered in Sioux Falls, S.D., that serves over 300 teams and 4,000 baseball participants each year.

As assistant head baseball coach at Northwestern, Boeve was instrumental in helping lead the Red Raiders to a five-year record of 166-94, including Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) championships in 2011 and 2013 and GPAC Tournament titles in 2010 and 2013.

Boeve compiled a three-year record of 58-34 as head coach at MOC-Floyd Valley and was the Northwest Iowa Review’s 2012 Coach of the Year after he led the Dutchmen to the Siouxland Conference championship in his first season at the helm.

Boeve was a two-time first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) outfielder during his collegiate career at Northern Iowa, where he finished his career among the Panthers’ all-time career top five with 38 doubles, seven triples, 31 home runs, 132 RBIs and 48 stolen bases. He was a Louisville Slugger second-team All-American and the 2003 MVC Player of the Year when he hit .368 with 18 doubles, four triples, 18 home runs, 70 RBIs and 29 stolen bases. Boeve hit a hefty .411 in conference play and led the league with 13 home runs.

He was a 12th round selection of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft and spent seven years in their organization, where his teammates included future MLB standouts Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker. Boeve hit .281 with 91 home runs and 344 RBI over his minor league career.

Boeve batted .290 with career highs of 28 home runs and 92 RBIs for the Class A Hickory Crawdads during the 2004 campaign and the following season was a mid-season all-star for the Lynchburg Hillcats of the high A Carolina League. Boeve was rated the Pirates’ No. 20 prospect following a 2005 season where he hit .313 at Lynchburg and .288 for the Class AA Altoona Curve.

Boeve batted .333 in 38 games at Altoona in 2006 to earn a promotion to the AAA Indianapolis Indians, where he hit .269 with 20 doubles, six home runs, 37 RBI, and 24 stolen bases in 91 games. He hit .251 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI at Indianapolis in 2008 in his final season of professional baseball.

His sister, Kate (Boeve) Ortegren, is a 2006 Morningside graduate and was a first-team All-GPAC and second-team NAIA All-Region outside hitter for the Mustangs’ volleyball team. 

Adam and his wife Molly reside in Hinton with their three children, Casen, Chanley, and Cully.
