Coach Christopher enters his fourth year at Juniata in 2023-24. He comes from Heidelberg University, where he was the top assistant for the past five seasons. He was involved in all aspects of the program, including: developing offensive/defensive and pitching strategies, was in charge of recruiting in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, collaborated with the facilities and grounds department on field maintenance and was in charge of academic monitoring as the team won the American Baseball Coaches Association Team Academic Excellence Award all five years while he was with the program (2017-2020). He also helped with alumni outreach and was the Prospect Camp Coordinator.
In the last full season back in 2019, Christopher helped the team earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament where they reached the NCAA Division III College World Series after winning the Mideast Super Regional while the team had one All-American honoree, three All-Mideast Region team members, and 11 All-Ohio Athletic Conference selections. The Student Princes also led the nation in hits in 2019.
Before his time at Heidelberg, he was a graduate assistant at Division II Notre Dame College, where he was the hitting coach and in charge of the outfield. He also helped with the creation of the practice plan, game scheduling, travel, academic monitoring, and fundraising. He also was the head coach of the developmental team.
Christopher also earned his Master’s of Education with a Concentration in Technology at Notre Dame.
Christopher attended McDaniel College for undergrad, where he was a four-year member of the baseball team. He was a three-time all-conference selection, honorable mention as a sophomore before garnering second-team honors in his final two seasons. He graduated as the all-time hits leader at McDaniel. He earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration.
Pat lives in town with his wife, Allyson.
