Coaching Dispatch (1/25/23)

Trinity Baseball Coach Bryan Adamski reports on his coaching experience to Germany:
I had the opportunity to speak at the DBV (German Baseball Federation) Convention last week and wanted to share some thoughts from the trip. The experience in Cologne, Germany was my first abroad and my first collaboration with Tom O’Connell and an organization called ISG-Baseball. I spoke 4 times over the 3-day conference and the German coaches were so gracious to have American coaches there sharing knowledge on baseball and coaching. Their challenges as a country are significant, with no high school or college baseball season built into the youth educational system. All sports are run independently by local organizations/parents and the sports national teams. In short, if you aren’t good enough to make the youth national teams, it’s really hard for kids to access the sport and continue playing it. The interactions with the coaches there were extremely genuine and it was immediately clear that those in attendance were engaged and ready to learn.
I continue to be amazed and grateful for what the game of baseball has provided me and am humbled to have been involved in growing the game internationally. Tom O’Connnell, the ISG president has been making trips like this happen since 1984, and has done so much for international baseball across all levels. I would like to thank NEIBA for co-sponsoring my trip, without this organizations support, the trip was not possible. If your schedule allows, I would recommend these trips with ISG to help elevate the game of baseball and its coaches across the world. I can’t speak highly enough of Tom and the ISG mission to promote the game. Below are a few pictures of my time in Cologne!

Barry Rosen – Tufts University
Barry Rosen is a veteran baseball man who has over 50 years of coaching experience. Rosen has 22 years of experience as a college head coach, 20 years as a high school head coach and nine years as a college assistant. Previously the head coach at Division II Merrimack and Saint Anselm Colleges, Rosen is a past President and Executive Board member of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association. He was also an assistant coach at Brandeis University. A 1972 graduate of UMass Amherst, Rosen taught high school science for 35 years in Winthrop and Westford. He was head coach at Winthrop High School from 1976-92, and was named to the Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Neil McPhee – Northeastern University
The longest-tenured head coach in the history of Northeastern University, Neil McPhee coached the Huskies for 29 seasons. During that stretch, he compiled over 700 victories and had 14 players drafted by Major League teams. McPhee, a standout student-athlete at Northeastern in both baseball and ice hockey, took the helm of the NU program before the 1986 season and quickly turned the Huskies into perennial contenders. In 2013, he led Northeastern to a 31-26 record, a Beanpot title, and an appearance in the semifinal of the CAA tournament. During his tenure, NU captured five conference championships and qualified for three NCAA tournaments.

Bob DeFelice – Bentley University
For more than a half-century, since the program's inception in 1969, Bob DeFelice has been Bentley University baseball. The 2021 season marked his 53rd at the helm of the Falcons. His teams have called Robert DeFelice Field home since the 2002 season, and on June 2, 2018, upon the culmination of his 50th year at Bentley, a statue was erected outside the Bentley Arena. In addition, the rink in the Arena now bears his name, as does the plaza outside the Arena. DeFelice's affiliation with the university dates back to 1968, when he was hired as Bentley's first varsity baseball coach. As Bentley's only head baseball coach, DeFelice has won 814 games during his 52 seasons at the helm, a total that ranks third in New England Division II history. Following the retirement of Augie Garrido at Texas after the 2016 season, DeFelice is the longest-tenured active college baseball coach in the country.

Hall of Fame Class of 2021

Mike Stone – UMass Amherst
Mike Stone completed his 30^th and final season as the head baseball coach at the University of Massachusetts in 2017. He returned to his alma mater in 1988 from the University of Vermont where he served as head coach from 1983-87. In his 30 seasons, the Minutemen compiled 697 wins, the most of any coach in program history. In addition to his teams winning Atlantic 10 Tournament titles in 1995 and 1996, Stone's squads finished as runner-up in the Atlantic 10 in 1988, 1991, 1997, 2000 and 2003. He has also led the Minutemen to 14 appearances at the Atlantic 10 Championship in 30 seasons.

Dennis McManus – Plymouth State University
Currently serving as the Coach’s Aide at Plymouth State University, Dennis McManus led the Panthers for 31 seasons. McManus’ experience, knowledge of the game of baseball and relationships with alumni, faculty and the local community all add to his priceless value to the baseball program. During his time as head coach McManus amassed 506 wins – the most wins by any coach in any sport in school history. In 2012 McManus led the team to an LEC Tournament runner-up finish, to go along with multiple ECAC runner-up appearances. McManus has served on numerous ECAC and NCAA tournament selection committees, as well as being the President of the NEIBA (New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association). He served on the NEIBA executive committee for 14 years.

Frank “Porky” Vieira – University of New Haven
The University of New Haven boasts one of the most storied baseball programs in the history of NCAA Division II, and a large portion of the program’s success in past, present and future can be attributed to its founder and first head coach – the legendary Frank "Porky" Vieira. Under Vieira, who founded the program in 1962 and helmed the dugout from the team's inaugural season in 1963 through the 2006 campaign, New Haven baseball posted an all-time record of 1,127-324-6 in 44 seasons. That remarkable stretch included a string of 42 straight winning seasons from 1963 to 2004, and 43 winning campaigns overall. During Vieira’s tenure, New Haven baseball earned 35 regional postseason berths (26 NCAA, 9 NAIA) with 17 College World Series appearances (15 NCAA, 2 NAIA). UNH posted 81 NCAA postseason wins throughout his tenure - the second-most in NCAA Division II history at the time of his retirement - and advanced to the NCAA College World Series in a school-record seven consecutive seasons from 1984 to 1990. The Chargers finished as NCAA National Runners-Up in 1980 and 1989.

Joe Walsh was an outstanding baseball coach and an even better person. He touched so many lives through his association with Suffolk University, Harvard University, the Cape Cod Baseball League and amateur baseball throughout New England. To honor Joe's life, a group of former players are creating a scholarship in Joe's name at his alma mater Catholic Memorial High School. This scholarship will be given annually to a deserving student and will be funding by this annual golf tournament.

We would love to see as many of Joe's former baseball players as well as his girls' basketball players and track/cross country athletes join us for a great day of golf for a great man and great cause. Keeping Joe's legacy alive through this annual scholarship! We hope to see you at the tournament, but if you cannot make it, please consider some of the other options available to contribute to the cause.

He was awarded Sports Illustrated’s Inspiration of the Year in 2014 and received the 2017 NCAA Inspiration Award for the perseverance, dedication and determination to overcome his trauma while serving as a role model and giving hope and inspiration to others in similar situations.

A note from Mike Gambino, Boston College:
"First of all, I want to thank all of you for helping and supporting Pete Frates and his mission to strike out ALS last year with the "Band Together" initiative. Last year was a great first year and it was very much driven by our New England baseball schools. I also want to ask everyone for their help again this year.

We've cleaned up the distribution and made it way easier to get the wristbands this year. they will be for sale at Mohegan Sun on Friday and here is the link as well:

We are hoping to have it start in New England again this year the last two weekends in April and spread throughout the country like it did last year. Read more here:

Despite the great efforts of many, Mother Nature won again and we are unable to play the NEIBA All Star Game this year. Make-up dates are more and more tricky to work out given all of the summer ball schedules.

Although we have had rain for two straight years, we do not want to minimize this event as it celebrates our student-athletes and a great number of people who work tirelessly to make collegiate baseball in New England special. These include all of our coaches (and their families), our award winners, our loyal sponsors, and the great number of folks who simply come out and support college baseball in New England.

There are so many people to thank, but we do want to recognize a few people who work hard behind-the-scenes for NEIBA. These include, but certainly not limited to, the following:

Matt LeBranche and his All-Region, Gold Glove, and Coach-of-the-Year committees who work diligently to recognize worthy players and coaches who have put together the special seasons.

Brendan Eygabroat and his regional representatives who handle the Div. III weekly polls.

Mike Connolly who chairs our awards committee and helps select the annual award winners.

John Casey for his leadership and hard work in literally every aspect of college baseball.

Congratulations to all on a great season! We will send out a press release recognizing our players, coaches and award winners for 2016 and look to give out the hardware at our General Meeting in January.

NEIBA has begun naming Players and Pitchers of the Week in each division, starting in March of 2016. Please check the PLAYERS-OF-THE-WEEK link above.

"We are hoping to make Pete Frates' cause of striking out ALS the cause of baseball and we are hoping this movement starts in New England. Pete is a New England kid through and through and we are first and foremost a New England program. Having this national movement start with our group would be awesome.

"The goal would be to have it start in New England the second to last weekend in April and have it finish the second to last weekend in May with all the ACC schools wearing the wristbands for the final series. MLB and the ABCA have already said they are on board.

"You can purchase the wristbands off Petefrates.com or just send the file you received via email to any embroider you use and they can make them up. You probably won't have the program needed open the file on your computer but companies that do embroidering will.

"I thank you all for everything you have already done for Pete and this mission as well as for helping to launch this next initiative. Greg DiCenzo and Matt Noone are also playing a big role in helping to launch this so I want to thank them as well."

• Mike Connolly (Bowdoin College) is currently soliciting nominations for the 2016 NEIBA Awards.
