Who are some of the Christian D1 coaches? I've looked at many school's coaches bios, but they don't usually mentioned much if any about any faith related involvement of the coaches.

I know Arizona's Andy Lopez is very forward with his faith. I believe I've heard UNC's Mike Fox talk about his faith as well but I'm not positive.
If that is an important factor for you, I would lean towards faith based schools (Pepperdine, Oral Roberts, Liberty, Dallas Baptist, Baylor, Samford, etc.)
I am sure there are many other schools with Christian coaches (heck, I think they are all praying for wins every weekend
) but it may not be apparent until your son is on official visits and can visit with players about the coach to find out more about his demeanor and character.
Another thought ... sometimes it is good for your son to be a "light" in the baseball program, sometimes you can have the greatest impact on others when you are "walking the walk" and leading by example.

If there are Christian coaches does that mean they won't play on Sunday?

Nope - It meens they play for the baseball god.
In all seriousness, Andy Lopez was the first to come to mind when I read the OP. So I guess that makes two votes for AZ.

No. It means they can't hit a curveball.
