LOUDONVILLE, NY – Ahead of the start of the 2022 season, Siena Baseball Head Coach Tony Rossi announced the hiring of Joe Sheridan as the newest member of the team's coaching staff. In his current role, Sheridan will serve as the Saints' pitching coach and recruiting coordinator.
"I am excited to announce Joe Sheridan as our pitching coach," said Rossi. "Joe's background will be a huge asset in helping develop our pitching staff. His experiences at the University of Central Florida and Notre Dame University will be an invaluable asset for our pitchers. He also has experience in recruiting some of the best players in the country while working for the Perfect Game Development Program. We are glad to have him as part of the Saints family."
Sheridan comes to Loudonville following a stint at the University of Cincinnati as the Bearcats' Director of Player Development from August to December 2021, where he oversaw the technology for the program and on-field development of the pitching staff. Over the past two summers, he served as a scout for Perfect Game USA, attending premier scouting showcases for high school players.
A native of Oviedo, Florida, Sheridan completed a successful five-year playing career in 2021 at the University of Notre Dame, where he helped the Fighting Irish capture an ACC Regular Championship and advance to an NCAA Super Regional. The left-handed reliever tied for the team lead in saves while tying for the third-most appearances on the season.
Sheridan previously spent four seasons at the University of Central Florida, where he served as a team captain and helped the Knights win the 2017 American Athletic Conference (AAC) Regular Season Title and earn a berth in the NCAA Regionals. Following a stellar freshman season, he was named a Freshman All-American by both Collegiate Baseball Newspaper/Louisville Slugger and Perfect Game/Rawlings.
Sheridan earned his B.A. in Human Communication with a Business and Professional Track from UCF in 2020, and received his Master's of Science in Management from Notre Dame in 2021.
