Ännu en välmeriterad kraft säkrad till årets Advanced Coaching Clinic i oktober.

Vi kan nu konstatera att vi har en riktigt stark trio på tränarsidan under vår Tränarclinic i Gävle nästa månad. Låt oss här presentera Ed Flaherty och hans imponerande meritlista. Presentationen är på engelska.

Now in his fourth decade as the head coach of the University of Southern Maine baseball team, Ed Flaherty has firmly established USM among the nation’s elite NCAA Division III programs. Flaherty has earned an outstanding reputation for his proven teaching ability, discipline and hard-nosed work ethic. His instructional baseball camps are highly regarded and among the best attended in the New England region.

Flaherty retired following the 2024 season, his 39th as the Huskies’ head coach, with a career record of 1133-532-4 (.680 W-L percentage). Flaherty achieved the 1000 win milestone during the 2019 season defeating Bates College on May 2 to become the 11th coach in NCAA Division III history to reach 1000 career wins.

In his 39 seasons as head coach, Flaherty had 17 seasons with 30 or more wins – most recently in 2021 when the Huskies went 34-11, captured the 2021 Little East Conference Championship and a berth to the NCAA Division III national tournament. Twenty-six times during his collegiate coaching career, Flaherty has guided the Huskies to a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament, including 15 consecutive appearances between 1987 and 2001.

At the time of his retirement in 2024 his 1,133 wins ranked third among active Division III coaches and tenth all-time.

Under Flaherty’s direction, the Huskies reached the pinnacle of the NCAA Division III baseball world in 1991 when they traveled to Battle Creek, Michigan, and claimed their first national championship. That team was the first collegiate team from the state of Maine to win a national championship. Six years later, the Huskies compiled a then school best 39-9 record en route to capturing the program’s second national title. Among that season’s highlights were an 18-game winning streak, winning the first-ever Little East Conference championship, and hosting the NCAA regional tournament.
