Nick Sanzeri will be in his second year with Ohlone College in the 2026 season.  He serves in the role of Head Pitching Coach at Ohlone College.  Before coming to Ohlone, Sanzeri spent the 2024 season as the pitching coach at NCAA Division I University of Pacific, who competes in one of the best Division I conferences in nation, the WCC.  

Sanzeri’s experience with training pitchers is extensive, as he brings a wealth of knowledge and employs technology and high-level technology to develop arms.  “He studies and lives pitching,” said Head Coach Mike Curran.  “He is familiar with all the different technologies and stays up-to-date with all the current trends and pitching aids that continually hit the market.  What’s most impressive too, is that he doesn’t use the same aid for every guy.  He may use a load harness for one guy, an aqua bag for another, or an arm brace for another.  It’s all individualized training for him.  He analyzes what each guy needs to develop his talent.” 

Besides coaching at the Division I level, Sanzeri is no stranger to CCCAA baseball.  Sanzeri spent six seasons as the pitching coach at Mission (2018 – '23) and also spent a season at College of San Mateo (2017) as well.  Most impressively though, Sanzeri started Sanzeri Pitching, where he specializes in private lessons and specialized training to help high school and college-aged players.  He has worked with nearly 25 players who have been drafted into Major League Baseball (including several Big Leaguers), and over 100 NCAA Division I pitchers.  Additionally, he’s worked with players who have pitched for Team USA and has cemented his reputation as a pemier developer of elite pitching talent. In the summer of 2025, he accepted a new role, and served as the Head Coach for the Menlo Park Legends, who play in the California Collegiate League (CCL), a Top 5 Collegiate Summer League.

“I coached against Nick’s pitching staffs for almost 10 seasons,” said Head Coach Mike Curran.  “Every year, his guys were the hardest throwers, extremely tough kids, and always prepared.  When looking for a pitching coach to run a college staff, I want a guy who connects with kids, who is organized, and who develops guys.  Nick does all three.  I am thrilled to finally be coaching with him, instead of against him.  He’s a ton of fun to be around, he’s always working with our pitchers, and he’s really good at developing.”

Sanzeri received his degree in Communications from Notre Dame de Namur University in 2016.  He is married to his wife Sofia, and they currently reside in Los Gatos.
