Fordham baseball head coach Kevin Leighton announced the addition of Chris Bresnahan as a volunteer assistant coach today.
 
Bresnahan just finished his playing career at Elon University, starting 85 games over the past two seasons.  This past season, he helped the Phoenix win the 2013 Southern Conference Championship and earn an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.  In the NCAA tournament, Elon made its first Regional final appearance in the Charlottesville Regional with Bresnahan at the heart of the team's success.  He batted .385 (5-13) in the regional with three RBI and two runs scored in four games and was named to the Charlottesville All-Regional Team.
 
Before arriving at Elon, Bresnahan was a high school standout at St. Rose High School in Belmar, New Jersey.  A native of Freehold, New Jersey, he was a four-time First Team All-Division selection and earned First, Second and Third Team All-Shore Conference accolades as well as all-county honors in his four seasons.  He helped lead his prep squad to four division titles.
 
For coaching experience, Bresnahan has coached for the World Yacht Clippers, based in Westchester County the past two summers (2012-13).  He also assisted with the Elon baseball summer camp in 2013.
 
Bresnahan graduated from Elon with a bachelor's of science degree in Sport & Event Management with a minor in Business Administration.
