Patrick Santorella joins the UMass Lowell baseball program for his first season as an assistant coach in 2026-27. He comes to the Mill City after spending the last nine seasons at Wheaton in multiple roles.
“Pat has a great resume both as a player and coach in his time at Wheaton, and he is a tireless recruiter,” said Head Coach Nick Barese. “Throughout the interview process, it became clear that Pat was the right choice for the role and I have no doubt he will make our players better.”
He served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for five seasons with the Lyons following a four-year career there.
During his time coaching at Wheaton, Santorella led the Lyons to a 146-67 record and two NEWMAC Championships. In 2022 and 2023, he helped the team win back-to-back conference championships. 2023 saw Wheaton go 42-9 and advance to the NCAA DIII Super Regional Round.
As a player with the Lyons, Santorella hit .284 across 36 career games. He worked his way into a starting role as a senior, starting 26 games towards the end of the season.
