During the summer of 2017, Seton Hall’s baseball team was dealt a major blow when veteran pitching coach and program alumnus Phil Cundari left South Orange after 19 seasons to assume the same position with in-state rival Rutgers.
The departure of Cundari, the 2011 National Pitching Coach of the Year, left a big void on the Seton Hall coaching staff. Wisely, coach Rob Shepherd moved swiftly in finding a new pitching coach who is no stranger to the Big East.
After spending three seasons as the pitching coach at Fordham, Pat Pinkman now finds himself at the head of a talented Seton Hall pitching staff looking to take the next step in 2018.
