SALISBURY, Md. – Associate head coach
Ron Siers of the top-ranked Salisbury University baseball team will be
inducted into the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame next month, announced by the museum earlier this week.
The Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame, which is housed at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, will honor Siers and the rest of the six-member Class of 2023 on Sunday, May 28 at 1:30 p.m. The ceremony will take place on the field at Perdue Stadium before that day's Delmarva Shorebirds minor league baseball game.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Siers is currently in his 25th season at the Salisbury baseball program. He has served under three head coaches:
Robb Disbennet (1999-2000),
Doug Fleetwood (2011-14) and
Troy Brohawn (2015-present). Siers has had a front-row seat to nearly 800 Sea Gull victories in that timespan.
During Siers' quarter century on staff, the Sea Gulls have made every NCAA Tournament since 2000, hosted four NCAA regionals and one super regional, appeared in the NCAA Division III Baseball Championship seven times and won the first national championship in program history in 2021. At the conclusion of that title run Siers was named the American Baseball Coaches' Association (ABCA) Assistant Coach of the Year.
Along with his coaching pedigree, Siers has been a professor of organizational leadership at SU since 2014. He has also published 16 peer-reviewed articles and in 2020 received the annual SU Distinguished Faculty Award.
Siers is a two-time graduate of Salisbury University, having earned his B.A. and M.Ed. from SU in 1989 and 1995, respectively. He also holds a Ph.D. in organizational leadership from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
Salisbury University is a proud member of NCAA Division III with primary membership in the Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference, along with the New Jersey Athletic Conference for football and men's and women's swimming, and the Coastal Lacrosse Conference for men's lacrosse.
