Sean Buchanan enters his first season as the Lehigh baseball program's pitching coach in 2021.
“I am still struggling to find words to describe how grateful and how excited I am for the opportunity to serve this baseball program and this university,” said Buchanan. “I can’t even begin to thank Coach Leary, Coach Miller, and Dean Joe Sterrett enough for entrusting me to help develop our student athletes.
“Lehigh University is a special place with a reputation of excellence. It is my intention to help uphold the standards set by Coach Leary and the university as we continue to build towards a bright future for our guys both as players and as people.”
A native of New York, Buchanan spent this past spring at Albright College in Reading, Pa. in a similar role, following a stint at DeSales in 2019.
Prior to his career at DeSales in nearby Center Valley, Buchanan spent three season as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at Ave Maria in Naples, Fla. While at AMU, he helped lead the team to several offensive milestones including the program’s home run record in 2015 and again in 2017. In 2015 and 2016, Buchanan helped assemble multiple recruiting classes that were ranked in the top five nationally by Perfect Game.
In his summers, Buchanan spent five seasons as a coach in the Perfect Game Collegiate League, working with players from some of the nation’s top college programs including 14 eventual Major League Baseball draft picks.
In addition to his roles at Albright, DeSales and Ave Maria, Buchanan also had coaching stops at Bard College, Dutchess Community College and SUNY New Paltz.
Buchanan received his bachelor’s degree in history from SUNY New Paltz in 2013.
