BRIAN M. AUGUST
Baseball (1995-97)
Baseball Assistant Coach (2001)
Few players in the rich history of University of Delaware baseball can match the success of Brian August during his stellar career in 1995-97. Playing for Hall of Fame head coach Bob Hannah, the slugging infielder from Newark, Del. (St. Mark’s High School) posted some incredible numbers over three seasons.
He ranked among the nation’s top threats at the plate throughout his career and set Delaware records for career doubles (71) and runs batted in for a season (82) and finished his career ranked No. 2 at Delaware in home runs (35), No. 3 in RBI (203), and No. 7 in batting average (.381).
A three-time all-conference selection, he earned American Baseball Coaches Association All-American honors as a junior in 1997 when he batted .432 (ranked 9th in NCAA) with 20 home runs and 82 RBI. August led the Hens to an impressive three-year record of 134-36 (.788) that included three conference titles and NCAA Tournament berths in 1995 and 1996.
He was an 18th round draft pick by the New York Yankees in the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft and played four minor league seasons, earning New York Penn League MVP honors in 1998. Also a member of the Delaware Baseball Hall of Fame, he has enjoyed great success as head coach at Wilmington (Del.) University since 2005, leading the Wildcats to seven NCAA Division II regional appearances and a berth in the NCAA II College World Series in 2015.
He is a 2000 physical education studies graduate of Delaware.
