3. In-Game Strategy & Game Management

  • Formulate game plans and pitching strategies tailored to high school opponents in alignment with the Head Coach.

  • Oversee pitch-calling, mound visits, strategic defensive alignments, and bullpen warm-ups during games.

  • Educate pitchers on situational awareness, pickoff moves, hold times, and controlling the running game.

4. Mentorship & Catholic Mission Alignment

  • Serve as a positive role model, integrating Christian leadership principles, discipline, and humility into daily coaching.

  • Foster a high-energy, positive environment that builds confidence, mental toughness, and accountability.

  • Support student-athletes in balancing academic excellence with athletic commitments.
