Baseball talent Brian Harrison joined the University of Dayton coaching staff before the 2008 season, and his hitters have increased their numbers remarkably since.

Under Harrison’s watch, the 2009 Flyers broke a number of school records including single-season batting average (.332), runs (448), hits (665), RBI (419), doubles (143) and home runs (77).

Harrison tutored three Flyers in 2009 Atlantic 10 First Team All-Conference selections. Senior Max Navalinski had a breakout season raising his lifetime batting average of .266 to .358 to earn second team honors in the Atlantic 10.
