Shawn Alazaus

Pitching Coach


2024 Coaching Staff

Pitching Coach

Coach Alazaus is no stranger to OEB, as his son Brant (a LHP at Xavier) played two years here with Coach Brian Warning.  Shawn is one of the very best pitching minds in Ohio.  A teacher and baseball/football coach at West Branch High School, he played at Mount Vernon Nazarene, before being drafted by the New York Yankees in the 13th round of the 1993 MLB draft.  He is a tremendous addition to our program and will no doubt help our student-athletes develop as pitchers.

Manager

Coach Mike Byrne will be back with OEB for his 8th season in 2024.  After seeing the 2020 graduating class from their 15u season through 18u, he was excited to cycle back down to take on another challenge, and work with a talented group of young men.  Mike played JUCO baseball for two years before an injury ended his career.  He is a teacher at Strongsville High School. He has coached high school baseball for several years in NE Ohio, with stops at Cuyahoga Heights High School and Strongsville.
