Eric Kadooka has been named the new varsity baseball coach at Punahou School.

"Eric brings an unbelievable work ethic to our program," athletic director Tom Holden said. "He's a young, energetic guy who is like a sponge the way he absorbs the game."

Kadooka is a 1986 Punahou graduate who played shortstop for the Buffanblu's Interscholastic League of Honolulu championship team that year.

Kadooka has been a junior varsity assistant at Punahou the past two years, and headed the school's summer baseball program the past two summers. He coached Punahou to the championship of the 18-under division in the Baseball in Paradise Tournament earlier this month.

Kadooka replaces Kala Ka'aihue, who resigned last spring.
