Todd Barhorst

Hitting Instructor

Instructor Bio

I am a 2010 graduate of Chaminade Julienne High School where I set multiple school records. I went on to continue my baseball career at Sinclair Community College. I ended my college career at Sinclair but transferred to and graduated from Wright State University. I served as an assistant coach at my alma mater, Chaminade Julienne from 2012-2019. During this time we gradually improved and won our first four Greater Catholic League titles in school history. In 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019, we won district championships. Our last previous district championship was in 1986. In 2014 we finished as D3 regional runner ups, and in 2017 we finished as the D2 state runner ups. Finally in 2018 and 2019 we won back to back D2 state championships, becoming only the 9th team in OHSAA history to do so at any level. During this time, I led our program’s off season speed, strength and Driveline programs. I have been responsible for coaching advanced hitting, fielding, baserunning, and mental techniques to the program. In 2020, I took over as head coach of the program, but my first season was unfortunately cut short due to COVID-19. Baseball player development is my passion, and I look forward to many years ahead as a head coach and an instructor for all aspiring athletes.
