"The opportunity to guide the program has been a dream of mine for a long time."
Montini Catholic is proud to announce that
Coach Eric Scott
will be assuming leadership of the Lasallian college preparatory high school's Baseball Program. Coach Scott (above with Athletic Director Brian Casey) as the 6th Head Baseball Coach in Montini Catholic history.
Coach Scott has enjoyed the last thirteen seasons as Montini's lead Varsity Assistant Coach working under Hall of Fame Head Coach Bill Leeberg, Coach Bob Landi and Coach Rich Janor. Over the course of this period, Coach Scott has been in the dugout, assisting in over 260 wins, nine regional championships and the schools first and only IHSA State Championship in 2019. Coach Scott, a former Division-2 collegiate catcher at Quincy University, has worked extensively with Bronco hitters, catchers, infielders/outfielders and pitching staff during various points in his tenure.
In addition to his work at Montini, Coach Scott has served many roles in the travel baseball community, including as a head coach at the high school levels, coaching two seasons in the Midwest Collegiate League. He was also the Head Catching Instructor at the Bulls/Sox Academy for 6 years.
Off the field, Coach Scott serves as Montini's Assistant Athletic Director and Director of Operations. "From a baseball perspective, he still is our Head Groundskeeper and was very influential in the process of making the dream of infield turf a reality," said Athletic Director Brian Casey. "In total, very few individuals have invested as much time, energy and effort on Montini Catholic High School and Montini Catholic Baseball as Coach Scott has during his tenure."
Coach Scott is currently working on assembling his coaching staff over these next couple of weeks in advance of some summer workouts/practices. He has already been corresponding with the student-athletes of the program since the start of the summer, preparing the roadmap to best be able to foster program growth and development throughout the off-season.
"I'm very excited for Coach Scott and the future of our baseball program," added Casey. "Over his tenure here as an assistant coach, I don't think anyone has dedicated more effort, energy and time into Montini Baseball as he has. In addition to his playing and other coaching experiences, he has learned from some great baseball minds, and I think that, along with his ability to foster great relationships with our young men will lead to tremendous successes on and off the baseball field while continuing our winning tradition."
"I look forward to leading the Montini Catholic Baseball Program that's rich in history and tradition​," said Coach Scott. "The opportunity to guide the program has been a dream of mine for a long time. Thanks to my predecessor, Coach Janor, the Montini Baseball Team has a strong foundation and I hope to take it even further."
