WATCH Interview w/ Coach McClellan

NJIT broadcaster Matt Provence sat down with interim baseball coach Robbie McClellan to discuss his new role leading the Highlanders.

McClellan joined the NJIT coaching staff as an assistant coach in 2011-12, filling that roll for seven seasons until being named to interim head coach to succeed Brian Guiliana as head coach in August 2018.

McClellan demonstrated success in his time on staff as recently as 2018, when the Highlanders posted 22 wins, defeated two top-25 teams, program's first appearance in the ASUN Conference Tournament and program-best nine ASUN Conference victories.

He helped develop ASUN All-Conference selections, including 2018 honorees: Jesse Uttendorfer, Julio Marcano, Justin Etts, David Marcano and Paul Franzoni.  Rising sophomore Julio Marcano, became the first NJIT athlete to earn Freshman All-American recognition since competing at the Division I level.

During his time as assistant coach, McClellan helped the Highlanders reach 20+wins in five-out-of-seven seasons', including 24 wins in 2015.
