NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Corey Keane, who helped Quinnipiac to a MAAC Championship and NCAA Regionals appearance in 2019, has joined the Yale baseball staff as an assistant coach.

"Corey is a very good young coach who comes from a very successful program," said Yale head coach John Stuper. "We feel pretty lucky to grab him. He will work mostly with our infielders. Our trademark has been pitching and defense and he will be a big part of continuing that. He comes highly recommended."
 
Keane spent the last five seasons at Quinnipiac, helping the Bobcats to a memorable run in 2019. They won the MAAC regular season and tournament championships, advancing to the NCAA Regionals. Their final win of the season came at No. 10 Eastern Carolina in the NCAA Regionals. That was their 30th victory, a Quinnipiac record.
 
Keane helped coach 12 All-MAAC selections for the Bobcats, including three outfielders – the group he worked with primarily.
 
Keane played collegiately at Eastern Connecticut State University. As a student-athlete he helped the Warriors win the Little East Conference Championship in 2014 and was named first team all-conference in 2015. He played five different positions and played for three different head coaches, helping the program to more than 100 wins in his career.
 
Keane was the head coach of the West Hartford Thunder of the Connecticut Collegiate Baseball League in 2017.  His career in coaching began with a stint as an assistant coach for the Tolland (Conn.) American Legion team from 2013 to 2016. He has also worked as an instructor at the Jim Wawruck Baseball Camp and the Bill Holowaty Baseball Camp, as well as providing private hitting and fielding lessons.
 
Keane graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University in 2016 with a B.A. in sport performance.
