Justin Harriman

Justin Harriman, an International Falls, Minnesota native is in his 17th year as an assistant at St. Scholastica in 2021.  Justin, a former power-hitting catcher for the Saints, was the first player in the program’s history to be selected as a first-team All-American following his senior season in 2000.
 
Justin ranks in the top five of four different offensive categories at St. Scholastica; his 178 RBIs rank first, 243 hits and 56 doubles rank second, and his 23 home runs rank third. He also holds the team’s record for longest hitting streak, recording a hit in 42 consecutive contests through his junior and senior seasons.
 
Just as notable as his offensive prowess, Justin is also regarded as the program’s top defensive catcher.  He was inducted into the St. Scholastica Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001. In the fall of the 2016, he was inducted into the St. Scholastica Athletics Hall of Fame.
 
Following his graduation in 2000, Justin spent one year as an assistant coach before leaving Duluth. He returned to the area and the coaching staff in 2006.  His primary duties include working with both catchers and hitters, as well as, advanced scouting reports.
 
For three straight seasons from 2010-12 he developed an All-Midwest Region catcher each year. Harriman coached some of the best defensive catchers in program history in Mike Lewis, Seth Harvey and Tyler Henderson, who all earned the John Giefer Gold Glove Award. He also coached Kyle Moody, who was the 2011 UMAC Player of the Year and a D3baseball.com All-American in 2012
 
“This program is about so much more than baseball and the success we’ve achieved on the field,” Harriman said. “When I think of the life-long friendships our players, coaches and our baseball alumni have with each other, it is clear that what we are doing is very unique and special.”
