Monks Baseball Camps
Head Coach Will Sanborn
Head Coach Will Sanborn '86, who registered his 31st season at the helm for the Monks in 2023, has built one of the most consistently successful NCAA DIII programs in the country. As a testament to his growing legacy, Sanborn was inducted into the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013 and Maine Sports Hall of Fame in 2023. He is also a member of the Selection Committee for the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame.
With a 5-2 win over the University of Mount Union on Thursday, March 9th in Auburndale, Florida, Sanborn registered the 800th victory of his college career. He is the 27th head coach in NCAA DIII Baseball history to hit 800-victory mark and one of only 11 active D3 skippers in the 800-win club.
As of March 15th, Sanborn sports a career record of 817-443-6 (.646) across 31 seasons – all at Saint Joseph's – and is just the 27th head coach in NCAA DIII Baseball history to hit 800-victory mark. Currently, there are only 11 active D3 skippers in the 800-win club.
Far and away the winningest coach in SJC Athletics history, Sanborn is one of just four New England region managers in the 800-victory club, along with longtime Eastern Connecticut skipper Bill Holowaty (1412), USM leader Ed Flaherty (1116), and Amherst College legend Bill Thurston (811).
During his 31 years as the Monks' head coach, Sanborn’s teams have won 21 championships, including 16 conference crowns and five NAIA New England titles, with 26 winning seasons. Saint Joseph's has reached the 25-victory plateau 21 times and posted 30 or more wins on 14 occasions.
