Northeastern University Athletics

Steve Englert is entering his first year at Northeastern as the Huskies' volunteer assistant coach.

A Boston College assistant coach for 12 seasons, Englert’s primary responsibilities included working with the catchers as well as hitting and bench coach.
Englert mentored current big leaguer Tony Sanchez who emerged as the top collegiate catcher in the country in 2009 and was a finalist for the Johnny Bench Award. Sanchez was selected fourth overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates, making him the highest draft pick ever from Boston College. During his coaching tenure at BC which began in 2002, 38 Eagles were selected in the MLB draft.
 
Englert landed at BC after spending one season at Holy Cross, where he coached the catchers and outfielders and was also the hitting instructor. He helped tutor the Crusaders to the Patriot League Tournament in 2001.
 
Prior to his stint at Holy Cross, he spent one season at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he coached the catchers and also worked as the hitting instructor.
 
Englert's first collegiate coaching job came in 1998 as an assistant at the University of Richmond. In his only year there, the Spiders broke the school single-season record for home runs, won the Colonial league title, earned a bid to the NCAA tournament and finished the season ranked No. 25 in the country.  
 
Additionally, Englert currently serves as head coach of the Harwich Mariners in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. Steve first served as an assistant with Harwich from 1998-2002 before being promoted to his current position as field manager in 2003. Under his tenure as head coach, the Mariners have averaged 23 players drafted per year including 10 first-round picks in the last eight seasons. Englert has tutored 37 All-Americans and over 240 players currently play professionally, including several major leaguers.

In the summer of 2008, Englert led the Mariners to its first Cape League title since 1987 and then followed that up with another championship in 2011. In both 2012 and 2014, he was presented the Mike Curran Award as Manager of the Year after leading the Mariners to regular season division titles in both seasons.
 
A 1987 Boston College graduate, Steve resides in Newton with his wife, Lisa, and their daughter, Samantha.
