Baldecchi came to the Leopards from Highland Community College (Highland, Kansas) where he was hired last summer to coordinate all aspects of a women's volleyball program that is slated to begin playing in the fall of 2023.

He was involved in many areas of both programs, including recruiting, game and practice preparation, player development, and off-season training programs. While working with the men's program, he also served as the director of volleyball operations.

In addition to his college coaching experience, Baldecchi was the Head Varsity Boys' Volleyball Coach at El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, Calif., from January, 2009, until May, 2010, and served as Head Junior Varsity and Assistant Varsity Boys' Volleyball Coach at the Fort Zumwalt School District from March, 2021, until October, 2021. He has also worked with the High Performance Volleyball Club in St. Louis, Mo., and Club North Volleyball in Kansas City, Mo.

A 2008 graduate of the University of San Diego with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Baldecchi was a setter and team captain for the Toreros. Baldecchi transferred to the University of San Diego from Santa Barbara Community College where, during his career, he was a setter and serving specialist.
