Eastern University Men's Baseball

Scott Renauro began his run at the helm of Eastern Baseball in August of 2018. He is not, however, new to the program. Before serving as an assistant Coach at Swarthmore College and Washington College, the West Deptford, N.J. native put his name all over the Eastern record books as a four-year starter in the middle of the infield. When he graduated in 2012 with a degree in Marketing and Management, Renauro held the Eastern career record for hits, RBI's, home runs, doubles, total bases, walks, on base percentage and slugging percentage. In 2010, he slashed a remarkable .415/.523/.689 with 56 hits to help the Eagles to a 21 win season. In 2024, Renauro led the Eagles to their first 20-win season in 12 years, and they look to build on that success heading into 2025.  Renauro brings a passion for baseball and an understanding of developing leaders to the program. He met his wife Amanda while he was a student at Eastern. The couple has a daughter, Holly. Renauro earned a Masters in Sports Management from Liberty University.

He brings a strong passion for player development, recruiting, analytics, and organizational excellence to the Eagles program.
