DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson baseball has announced the recent addition of Aaron Lynch to its 2017 coaching staff. He will work primarily with outfielders, but also provide assistance with hitters and infielders as well as helping with game day and facility operations. Lynch serves as the unofficial camp coordinator for the Wildcats.
Lynch came to Davidson after a year's stint down the road at North Carolina A&T, where he served on a volunteer basis as an outfield coach and assisting with hitters and field maintenance.
Prior to NC A&T, Lynch was an assistant coach for two years at Cal Tech in Pasadena, Calif. While serving as the infield and hitting coach, Lynch guided the Beavers to improve in numerous offensive and defensive categories such as batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, hits, doubles, total bases, steals, putouts and assists. He also assisted in recruiting efforts and served as the interim sports information director while in Pasadena.
Lynch spends his summers as the manager of the Wilson Tobs, a summer league team in the Coastal Plains League. This past year, he led the team to 32 wins and an appearance in the playoffs. The Tobs set a franchise record with an 8-game winning streak, and Lynch's tutelage landed three players on the All-CPL squads. The team finished fourth in the league in batting average (.273), second in fielding percentage (.967), and third in doubles and stolen bases (98, 98).
Lynch played four years at Allegheny College where he started all four years. He played his first two years at shortstop, his junior year at third base before playing first base as a senior. He was a three-time All-NCAC selection and was voted team captain three times. Lynch finished with a career .332 batting average and a .394 on-base percentage. Lynch led Allegheny in at-bats, hits, runs, total bases, steals and assists in 2009. In 2010, he led the team in at-bats, assists, putouts and sacrifice bunts, while in 2012 he ranked first on the team in putouts and sacrifice bunts.
A native of Concord, N.C., Lynch graduated from A.L. Brown High School in 2006 and currently resides in Concord.
Davidson begins its 2017 campaign in mid-February, and is coming off a historic season, becoming the first sixth-seeded team to ever play for the Atlantic 10 Championship.
