Gordon College is excited to welcome back a familiar face to its athletics program—Shane Demers, a Gordon graduate, as the new head baseball coach.  

Demers has always envisioned coming back to Gordon and contributing to the athletics program. His passion and investment in the team are evident as he has already built a strong relationship with the players.  

Demers has amassed a wealth of experience from his time as an assistant baseball coach at the Division 1 level at Brown University. He brings valuable expertise across multiple fields, especially the recruiting process and talent evaluation, having been on the recruiting trail throughout the East Coast. Beyond his work on the baseball field, he worked with the wider athletics department, learning and further enhancing his leadership skills.  

“The vision is to compete to the best of our abilities, not playing for ourselves but playing for our teammates and playing for God,” Demers shared. He also emphasized, “The team is in line with the mission of the school and of the athletics department.”  

When asked about his long-term plans, he expressed his desire for the team to make the conference playoffs consistently and eventually fight for championships. Demers hopes to develop that strength of schedule within a season and to earn a spot among the top 25 ranked teams.  

The new coach acknowledges Gordon’s investment in the athletics program since his time here as a student, highlighting visible progress such as the varsity weight room, the golf simulator, newly renovated tennis courts, and additional improvements on the way. With Gordon’s support, his commitment, and clear sense of direction for the future of the team, the future looks bright for the Scots. The baseball season kicks off on the 22nd of February; we will be watching closely and cheering on the baseball team as they embark on this new chapter under Coach Demers’ leadership.
