Jamie Quinn takes over the Gill St. Bernard's Knights baseball program with 17 years of experience coaching at the collegiate and professional level, most recently as the Head Baseball Coach at FDU-Florham for the past seven years. Along with being the new Head Baseball Coach, Coach Quinn is the Director of Annual Giving at Gill St. Bernard's.
While at FDU, he was tasked with rebuilding the program and was integral in the development and design of their multi-million dollar home, Naimoli Ballpark. Coach Quinn revitalized alumni engagement, spearheaded fundraising and community service, and instilled career and networking initiatives for the program. He saw two of his student-athletes sign professional contracts, one of which with the Trenton Thunder of the MLB Draft League and the Staten Island FerryHawks of the Atlantic League. In their first season at their new home, the Devils won the 2022 ECAC Championship, the first for the program in a decade.
Coach Quinn has coached at every level collegiately from Division 1 to Division 3, including a Head Coach stint in the Hamptons League for the Shelter Island Bucks, along with six seasons with the Orleans Firebirds in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. In his only season with the Bucks in 2015, he led the team to their first ever Hamptons League Championship. With Orleans, he spent three years as the Pitching and Catching Coach, before transitioning to running the offense as the Third Base Coach, while mentoring numerous MLB Draft Picks.
Wearing many hats in his career, Coach Quinn was the Catching and Third Base Coach at his alma mater, Division 2 Queens College (2009-2010), Catching and Bullpen Coach for Division 1 LIU Brooklyn (2010-2011), Catching and Bullpen Coach for Division 1 Hofstra (2012), and the Catching and Pitching Coach for the Division 3 U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (2013-2015). On the professional side, Coach Quinn was a catcher and Bullpen Coach for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League from 2009-2012, culminating in an Atlantic League Championship in 2012. He then was hired by the Arizona Diamondbacks as a Video Coordinator and Catching Instructor for their Single-A affiliate, the Hillsboro Hops. He spent the 2013 and 2014 seasons in Hillsboro, again culminating in the Hops winning their first Northwest League Championship in 2014.
