Benito Mendizabal, Recruiting Coach

University of Pittsburgh

(312) 205-7502

I was fortunate to play baseball at 2 different division 2 schools during my time in college, Seton Hill University and Eckerd College before suffering a hip injury that ended my playing career. What seemed like a curse turned out to be a blessing because I immediately went into my coaching career and realized my true passion was coaching and working with young athletes to achieve their dream of playing in college.

I began my coaching career at the high school level, while I wrapped up my undergraduate degree. After I graduated, I was fortunate enough to coach at Ave Maria University, an NAIA school. I then went on to coach at 2 division 2 universities, Wheeling University and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am excited to continue to work with athletes to help them find their path in the difficult world of college recruiting.
