TOLEDO, Ohio — Sean Repay will serve as the Toledo baseball team's volunteer assistant coach for the 2020 season, head coach Rob Reinstetle announced today. In addition to coordinating all of the Rocket baseball camps, Repay will handle various on-field duties as well.

Repay spent the 2019 season as the pitching coach at Indiana University Southeast in New Albany, Ind. He helped coach the Grenadiers to a 37-20 record in the season which saw the program win the River States Conference Regular Season Championship with a 21-6 conference record and finish ranked No. 24 in the country in the NAIA.

"I'm very happy to welcome Sean Repay as the newest member to our staff," Reinstetle said. "He brings the same type of youthful energy as the rest of the staff and is a tireless worker. He is a great fit here at the University of Toledo, and we are glad to welcome him and his family to the Rocket Family."

In addition to his spring seasons, Repay spent the last three summers as the head coach of the Bismarck Larks in the Northwoods League, one of the top-rated collegiate summer leagues in the country. During his three seasons at the helm, Repay racked up 100 wins and led the Larks to their first North Division championship and playoff berth during the 2018 season.

"I am honored and thrilled to be a member of the coaching staff at Toledo," Repay said. "Working under Coach Reinstetle and being part of the new era of Rocket baseball is very exciting. Toledo is a great place, and I am grateful to be given this opportunity to join a great coaching staff."

Prior to his time at Indiana University Southeast, Repay spent four seasons as the associate head coach/recruiting coordinator at Lakeland University, a Division III school in Plymouth, Wis. Other stops in his coaching career include a season at University of Antelope Valley (NAIA) in California and a season at Dominican College (DII) in New York. In 2014, Repay served as the Field Manager for the Bisbee Blue of the Pecos League. In 2015, he took a job as the bullpen coach for the Gary Southshore Railcats of the American Association. In the summer of 2016, Repay served as pitching coach for the Florence Freedom of the Frontier League.

Repay has coached over 80 players during his career that have moved on to professional baseball, including Matt Festa, who made his MLB debut in 2018 with the Seattle Mariners.

Repay resides in Maumee, Ohio with his wife, Hope, and three children Nadia, Maddux, and Raeleigh. He received his bachelor's degree in political science from Loras College in 2008, where he played collegiate baseball.
