About the Coach
Michael S Wagner
Since 2018 Coach Mike Wagner has been an integral part of Seton LaSalle’s boys baseball team. With 20 years of coaching experience, Wagner describes his coaching style as “old school”. His style proved successful when the team won the WPIAL Championship in 2019 and were runner-up in the 2020-21 season. Wagner’s passion for coaching expands outside of the baseball field as well, saying his goal as the coach is, “to help these young men become productive members of society when they grow up.”
