BALTIMORE-UMBC baseball head coach John Jancuska announced recently that Kevin Daly and Tim O’Brien have joined the Retriever coaching staff. Daly will serve as the second assistant coach behind Bob Mumma, while O’Brien joins the program as a volunteer assistant coach.

 

Daly comes to Baltimore after serving as the head baseball coach of the Monroe Chanelcats, a summer collegiate team that competes in the Tar Heel Summer League, and led them to a 2008 Summer Collegiate League Championship last year.

 

Before coaching the Chanelcats, Daly previously coached numerous summer and fall league teams, including the Lawnton Legends in 2007 and Central PA Captials in 2006, who finished the year with a spot in the USSSA Winter World Series National Championship Game.

 

Daly graduated in May 2008 with a degree in sports management from Alvernia College in Reading, Pa.

 

O’Brien returns to Baltimore 17 years after he was previously a volunteer assistant under Jancuska in 1992, when Mumma was a Retriever player and UMBC made the NCAA Tournament. The Niagara University alum has spent time as an associate scout for the Florida Marlins and Baltimore Orioles from 1997 to 2006 and most recently spent time as the pitching coach of the Champion’s Program of the gold medal-winning USA Baseball team in the Pan American Games in 2007.

 

The Columbia, Md. native is currently a high school teacher at Long Reach high school where he lives with his wife, Mary Beth, and his two sons, Robbie and Kevin.

 

The Retrievers open the 2009 season at Navy on March 4 at 2:30 p.m.
