WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest head baseball coach Rick Rembielak has announced the hiring of Marshall Canosa to his coaching staff. Canosa will serve as the volunteer assistant and will work primarily with the catchers.
"We are extremely pleased to have Marshall Canosa join our program," Rembielak said. "He has a tremendous work ethic and passion for the game of baseball that will fit right in with the rest of our staff."
"I am so excited and grateful for the opportunity to become a part of the Wake Forest baseball program," Canosa said. "I am looking forward to joining one of the best universities and conferences in all of college baseball."
Canosa, 24, comes to Winston-Salem after one season as a graduate assistant at Tennessee-Martin. He not only worked with the Skyhawk catchers and hitters, but also served as the strength and conditioning coach. This past summer, Canosa was an assistant coach for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod League. The Commodores went 25-18 and captured the West Division Title and defeated Hyannis in the divisional playoffs before losing to the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox in the championship series.
Prior to his stint at UT-Martin, Canosa spent the summer of 2003 as an assistant coach with the Metro (NY) Cadets of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League.
Canosa played collegiately at Villanova University after transferring from the University of Akron. At Villanova, Canosa was a three-year starter at catcher and was a crucial component of the Wildcats line-up with his great defense and expertise in managing the pitching staff.
A native of Pine Bush, N.Y., Canosa earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education with a concentration in social studies from Villanova in 2003.
