Hamilton College Men's Baseball

Byrnes is in his 10th year as the head baseball coach at Hamilton College. In 2015 Byrnes coached Joe Jensen '15 to his second consecutive NESCAC all-conference team selection. Jensen went on to sign a contract with a professional independent league team and he is believed to be the first player in Hamilton baseball history to play in a minor league game. The Continentals matched the program record for wins in a season that they set under Byrnes in 2013. Hamilton placed three hitters in the top 10 in batting average in the NESCAC last year and the Continentals hit better than .300 as a team (.302). Two pitchers finished in the top six in earned run average and a pair of baserunners landed in the top five in stolen bases including Jensen, who led the conference with 24. Six student-athletes earned a spot on the 2015 NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team. Three of Byrnes' players have received a total of five NESCAC all-conference honors and one made the 2012 D3baseball.com All-Region Team. The Continentals topped the conference with a school-record 85 steals in 2013. Byrnes' players hold program records for batting average, on-base percentage, runs, hits, doubles, triples, total bases, stolen bases, ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched in a career. A total of 10 individual and 10 team season records have been set under Byrnes' leadership. The Continentals have defeated Utica College four times in the Jackie Robinson Game with Byrnes as the coach. Byrnes was the head coach at Morrisville State College in 2005 and 2006. One Morrisville player was selected a National Junior College Association of America (NJCAA) Division III All-American in 2006. The All-America award was the first in program history. Byrnes' players earned two NJCAA academic All-America and two academic all-region honors. Byrnes was an outfielder on the St. Lawrence University varsity baseball team. He earned a degree in sports and leisure studies with a minor in education. Byrnes is from Cazenovia, N.Y.

Lamborn is in his second year as an assistant coach with the Hamilton College baseball team. Lamborn was on the Wesleyan University coaching staff from 2010 to 2014. He helped the Cardinals to three NESCAC postseason appearances, two first-place finishes in the NESCAC West Division and their first conference title in 2014. Lamborn was a four-year letter winner and a two-year starter in the outfield at Wesleyan from 2006 to 2009. He emerged as the starting left fielder his junior year and led the team with a .380 batting average and an on-base percentage of .472. As a senior he hit .359 with a .468 on-base percentage and a team-best .594 slugging percentage. Lamborn and the Cardinals made their first NESCAC playoff appearance in four years. Lamborn played semi-professional baseball for a season in Belgium and for three seasons in South Australia, and played in the independent Peach State League in Macon, Georgia. He graduated from Wesleyan with a degree in mathematics and economics.
