\n\tPassauer previously served as team’s pitching coach <\/em><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWillmar, Minn. – The Willmar Stingers are excited to announce that Matt Passauer has been named Field Manager for the 2016 season. Passauer will be the third manager in the history of the Stingers, following Matt Hollod (2010-13) and Drew Saberhagen (2014-15). The 2016 season will be Passauer’s 3rd<\/sup> year in the Northwoods League with the Stingers, serving as one of the assistant coaches under former manager Drew Saberhagen.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPassauer has spent the last two years East Georgia State College in Swainsboro, GA and just finished his first season as the head coach of the Bobcats. Prior to being named the head coach, he spent the 2013-14 season as the Pitching Coach and Recruiting Coordinator for the program.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOriginally from Erie, PA, Passauer played college baseball at the University of Maryland and finished his career at Lee University. While at Lee University, Passauer played a key role as a relief pitcher on the number one nationally ranked team, competing in the College World Series two consecutive seasons. Passauer is no stranger to summer league baseball, he was named a Texas Collegiate League All-Star in 2010 with the Brazos Valley Bombers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe last two summers Passauer was the pitching coach for the Stingers, where he helped lead one of the best pitching staffs in the Northwoods League over each of those seasons. Under the guidance of Passauer, the Stingers pitch staff finished in the Top-5 in walks, ERA, batting average and earned runs allowed during the last two summers across the entire Northwoods League.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I’m honored and excited for the opportunity to come back to Willmar and be part of a tremendous organization.” Passauer said. “I was very fortunate to work with Drew Saberhagen for two years and learn from a guy who knows the game and the league very well."\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Stingers staff will continue to build the 2016 roster as the off-season continues. The team hopes to fill a full 30-man roster before the start of the season which will begin in late May. For 2016 Season tickets or more information regarding this press release please contact the Willmar Stingers front office at 320-222-2010 or visit www.willmarstingers.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
