LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – The Rider University baseball team announced the hiring of Casey Aubin as pitching coach Tuesday. Aubin came from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) and was the Penmen pitching coach for the past two seasons.
 
"We are excited to add Casey as the new pitching coach," said head coach Dr. Barry Davis. "Casey's experience and success at Southern New Hampshire University over the past two years and his familiarity with the MAAC made Casey an attractive hire. I am excited to work closely with him as we continue to build on our success over the past three seasons."
 
While at Southern New Hampshire, Aubin helped guide the Penmen to two College World Series appearances, including the national semifinals in 2023. In those two years, Aubin led the pitching staff to the top ten rankings in ERA, batting average against, WHIP, strikeouts, and strikeout-to-walk ratio in Division ll. He also mentored Jeff Praml, the D2CCA East Regional Pitcher of the Year, in 2023 and helped guide five additional Penmen to all-region team selections.
 
Before Southern New Hampshire, Aubin was the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Saint Peter's University from 2019-2021. Under Aubin's tutelage, the Saint Peter's pitching staff improved in many statistical categories. The most impressive was the school's record for shutouts in a season, including scoreless victories over MAAC foes Niagara, Marist, and Monmouth.
 
Aubin attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he played four years for the D1 Minutemen. Over those four seasons, he accumulated 57 appearances, and 130.2 innings pitched. During his senior campaign serving as the team's closer, he struck out 31 batters in 27 innings pitched and held opponents to a .161 batting average and an ERA of 1.00. Aubin was 2-0 with five saves in '19.
