The Brooklyn Cyclones named longtime St. John’s University coach Ed Blankmeyer their new manager on Monday. He takes over from Edgardo Alfonso, whose contract was not renewed after the 2019 season.
Blankmeyer coached the Red Storm for 24 seasons and has had a level of success that is eye-opening.
Blankmeyer, 65, coached more than 100 Major League players between his stops at St. John’s and at his alma mater, Seton Hall, where he helped recruit Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, Mo Vaughn and others. In 24 seasons at St. John’s, Blankmeyer went 829-500-4, winning six Big East regular-season titles and five conference tournament championships, while earning 11 NCAA Tournament berths.
