Tom Berrisford

Tom Berrisford enters his 12th season as an assistant coach for the Saints in 2018. A 1998 Duluth East graduate, “TB” led the Greyhounds to the state tournament his senior year.  He was selected to the St. Paul Pioneer Press All-State Team and was also chosen as the Duluth News Tribune Player of the Year.

While starting at third base his freshman season, TB helped the Saints advance to the Midwest Regional of the Division III National Tournament.  He earned the team’s Rookie of the Year honors following the conclusion of the 1999 season.

TB was a captain for the Saints during his senior season of 2002.  He helped lead the Saints to a then-record 145 wins during his four years at St. Scholastica and was named Academic All-American twice.

In 2010, Berrisford was inducted as the 21st member into the CSS Baseball Hall of Fame.

Tom’s coaching responsibilities include coaching first base, working with the Saints infielders and defensive positioning during games and game management.

Last season, the Saints set a single-season program record for fielding percentage. In fact, since 2011 CSS has had its top four seasons in fielding percentage. Berrisford has coached 25 All-UMAC performers since 2010 and nine all-region players.

“Each season brings a new level of excitement for me and for our baseball family,” Berrisford said. “Not only do we have a chance to compete for a national championship year after year, but we continue to develop great players, great people and great relationships every time our team is together.”
