The Bedford, Ohio native’s athletic career began a long time ago. He was a three-year varsity baseball player at St. Ignatius H.S., where he was also a standout wide receiver on the 1993 State and National Championship football team. He furthered his baseball career at UNC Greensboro, but spent the final two years of his eligibility at Elon University where he was an All-Conference and All Region pitcher for the Phoenix. He holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Sports Management.

In 1998, T.J. was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the Major League Baseball Draft. From there, he spent the next 5 seasons pitching in various leagues all over the country until he retired in the spring of 2003.

Coach Donovan’s coaching career began in 2001 as an assistant with Walsh Jesuit High School. In 2006 and 2007 he helped coached the prestigious Midwest Redbirds, a scout team with the St. Louis Cardinals Organization. From 2008 to 2014, he was the Varsity Pitching Coach for perennial state power, St. Ignatius High School.

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.

Played collegiately at Wright State University where he was a 3 year starter, playing in 162 games, finishing with a career fielding percentage of .994, collected 828 put outs and 114 throw outs. He also had a career batting average of .220.

Shortly after stepping away from the college game, FIOB founder, Jeff Stanek, began to see a glaring need for more reliable and higher quality information for the global baseball community. He began to conceptualize: What if there was a website for baseball players and coaches that offered short, applicable and expert video content, covering areas such as hitting, pitching, baserunning and defense? What if this video library went one step further and provided the same high quality information on college recruiting, strength training, mental strength, compliance…? And so FIOB was born.
Relying on his experience as a Division-1 and JUCO recruiting coordinator, plus his current position as an Associate Scout with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Coach Stanek and the FIOB team proudly present a resource like none other in the baseball community. To young baseball players who dream of playing beyond high school, FIOB is your step-by-step “How To” manual. To the parents of these young players, FIOB is your “Baseball for Dummies” guide. To the coaches of these young and ambitious players, FIOB is your new assistant coach.
