Coach Chris Berset has a decade of baseball coaching and training experience.
He is the owner and general manager of the Prime Time Baseball facility and youth academy in Alexandria, and also serves as the head coach of the Alexandria Aces, a collegiate summer baseball club. Over the past 15 years, he has also participated in Great Britain’s national baseball program at European and world championships as a player, scout and more recently as a coach. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he was a Wolverines captain, winning two Big Ten conference titles. In 2010, he was selected in the 20th round of the MLB draft by the Cincinnati Reds organization, where he played seven years, from rookie to AAA level.
“I am beyond excited to embark on this fresh chapter as the head baseball coach at Bishop O’Connell,” Berset said. “The foundation is key in any new endeavor. With the support of our faith, I am eager to guide these young athletes both on and off the field for many years ahead.”
