Jamie Elias-Laspata- Head Instructor
Jamie Elias-Laspata, an All-American performer at Rowan University (Glassboro, NJ) in the late 90's and into the new millennium, enters her 17th year as a pitching instructor. She has served as a college pitching coach at La Salle University (Philadelphia, PA) for three years under the head coach of Joe DiPietro. She also served as a high school pitching coach at Camden Catholic High School (Cherry Hill, NJ) for one year.
Jamie made her mark on the national pitching scene during her freshman year campaign at Rowan, as she was tabbed as a Second-Team All-American selection. The Profs' shutout and strikeout record holder was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Pitcher of the Year, as well as to the All-Tournament Team at the NCAA Division III Atlantic Regional. With her 22-4 record, a 1.12 ERA and 128 strikouts, she helped Rowan to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Division Championships.
For her career, Jamie, who was named a Third-Team All-American in 2000, registered a 55-14 record in three years at Rowan, to go with 321 strikeouts during her stint in Glassboro. The Cherry Hill West High School product was named to the All-South Jersey squad as a junior and senior during her scholastic career, and held the South Jersey's strikeout record (708) from 1997-2000.
