Scott Wiegandt currently serves as the director of athletics for Bellarmine University. Wiegandt earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from Bellarmine and was an all-America pitcher for the Bellarmine Knights baseball team (1985-89). He previously served as Bellarmine's assistant athletics director and head baseball coach since 1999. Following his graduation from Bellarmine in 1989, Wiegandt spent nine seasons as a professional baseball player. Much of his career was spent at the Triple A level with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (Phillies affiliate), for whom he was named "Pitcher of the Year" in 1996. He also pitched in the Pirates and Cardinals organizations and played for the Louisville Redbirds in 1997. In 454 career games--mostly as a relief pitcher-- Wiegandt posted a career earned run average of 2.97 with a career record of 31-38 with 14 saves. He also recorded 485 strikeouts while allowing just 583 hits over 628.1 innings. After his retirement as a player, Wiegandt taught and coached at Holy Cross High School for several years before coming back to Bellarmine. He also has served as a color commentator for Fox Sports Ohio and Insight Communications in their broadcasts of Louisville Bats baseball and Bellarmine basketball games. Currently, Bellarmine competes in 18 intercollegiate sports at the NCAA Division II level, mostly in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Men's lacrosse is slated to begin next academic year at the NCAA Division I level. |
