AIKEN, S.C. – USCA, in conjunction with head baseball coach Michael Holder, is pleased to announce the addition of Sean O'Hagan to the staff as the pitching coach.

"Sean stood out from the beginning of the process in finding our next pitching coach at USCA," Holder stated. "Impressive is the best word I can use to describe the information and organization of his development plans for each pitcher in our organization. That, along with his knowledge of baseball analytics set him apart from a lot of very qualified candidates. We are excited to have him with the Pacers!"

O'Hagan comes to USCA from Mount Marty University. There, he was the graduate assistant pitching coach. He developed throwing programs, created development plans, called the pitches, created scouting reports and created a key performance indicator system to evaluate pitcher's talents.

O'Hagan also spent time at Fast Performance as a throwing trainer. There, he ran movement assessments, created throwing programs, managed pitch design sessions and built a video library that included plyo drills, warm-up and recovery routines.

He was the pitching coach for the Kenosha Kingfish this summer. O'Hagan called the pitches in game, managed the daily throwing program, analyzed pitch data for the players and guided his team to the league's best opponent batting average, limiting foes to .235. 

O'Hagan earned his degrees in business administration from Regis University in 2022. He earned a Master's of Education in Coaching and Leadership from Mount Marty University in May.
