EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. – East Stroudsburg University baseball head coach John Kochmansky has announced the promotion of Maddux Minton to assistant coach ahead of the 2022 season.

"Coach Minton is a young coach with a lot of knowledge and talent in the pitching game, said Kochmansky. He brings a calming style to coaching with a high level of technological knowledge. Coach Minton, under the guidance of Coach Lenhart, has been an integral part in analyzing pitching lab and Rapsodo information, which aids in the development of our pitching staff."

Minton will be entering his first year as an assistant coach and second overall with the Warriors after joining the program as a graduate assistant in 2020-21. He will serve as the recruiting coordinator for ESU and will continue working with the pitchers and catchers.

"I couldn't be more excited to return to the Warriors Baseball program as an assistant coach, said Minton. This is a terrific group of guys to be around, and I really enjoy my time being a part of their success. I would like to thank Coach K for the opportunity to return to the program as his assistant. He's played a major role in my development as a coach and as a person."

A graduate of SUNY Brockport, Maddux played three years for the Golden Eagles baseball program before transitioning to an assistant coach role in his final season. Minton, who recorded 41 strikeouts across 43.2 innings in his career, helped coach the Brockport pitchers.

This past summer, Minton worked at RPP Baseball Training & Development as a throwing coach. He assisted with video analysis breakdowns, 3D motion captures and pitch designs for their pitchers.

Prior to joining the Warriors coaching staff last year, Minton worked under an associate of the National Pitching Association at Line Drive Baseball Academy in Honeoye, N.Y.

Minton is a native of Conesus, N.Y. and a certified strength and conditioning specialist.
