BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh head coach Sean Leary has announced the addition of two coaches to his staff. John Bisco and Tim Fisher will join Kyle Collina as assistant coaches on the bench this season.

“I am very excited to announce the additions of John Bisco and Tim Fisher to our Lehigh baseball staff,” said Leary. “Bisco and Fisher have both accomplished a great deal in their playing and coaching careers. I am confident that adding their baseball experience to our program will make an immediate impact this spring.”

Bisco comes to Lehigh after serving as head coach of the Easton Senior Legion baseball team for 11 years. His teams made it the playoffs seven of his 11 season, while capturing four divisional championships and made two regional appearances.

Bisco graduated from LaSalle University in 1977, compiling a 20-5 record on the mound, in his four years on the squad.

Following graduation, Bisco played and managed in the Blue Mountain League, for 22 seasons. He helped the team capture six divisional championships and four regular season league titles. While managing in the Blue Mountain League, he also served as an assistant at LaSalle under legendary coach Gene McDonnell, from 1980-83.

In 2002, Bisco was elected into the Blue Mountain League Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Notre Dame High School Hall of Fame and the Northampton County Legion Hall of Fame.

Over his coaching career, Bisco has an overall record of 290-229. He has seen 35 of his players go onto play at the collegiate level, as well as having eight players be named Pitcher of the Year.

Fisher spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Moravian College. With the Greyhounds, his primary responsibility was working with outfielders and hitters, as well as planning practices and game day strategies. In 1999 he oversaw outfielder Joe Pochron break the school record for hits in a single season. The following year, the Greyhounds set a new school record for homeruns in a season, belting 21, six more than the previous record of 15 set in 1988. In 2003 and 2004, he helped guide Moravian to its first postseason appearances since 1992.

Since 1986, Fisher has also served as an officer with the Blue Mountain League, a summer collegiate league in the Lehigh Valley. He was the official statistician, secretary and treasurer. He kept official team and player stats for eight of the ten teams in the league, while working closely with other league officers and team managers.
