St. Bonaventure University Baseball Staff will be holding a prospect camp high school student athletes on Sunday August 24th, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This prospect camp will give participants an opportunity to work closely with the SBU coaching staff in a one day workout. The players will work through an evaluation process that measures all aspects of the game. Players will get a chance to run a 60-yard dash, take groundballs, and take fly balls. Arm strength will be measured from a radar gun from their position. They will also have their exit velocity tested and have their swing evaluated. It is an excellent opportunity for players to show their measurable skills, meet the coaching staff, and learn more about the collegiate baseball experience. Ages are 9th grade and up. Space is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. Camp will be held at the St. Bonaventure University baseball field, Fred Handler Park, located on-campus.

St. Bonaventure Baseball Camps
Jason Rathbun
Head Coach Read more Read less

Jason Rathbun enters his third season as Bonnies Baseball head coach in 2025.

Rathbun’s Bonnies showed great improvement in his second season at the helm, more than doubling their win total year-to-year with the most wins for the program in seven seasons. St. Bonaventure scored two wins at Power 5 opponents during the 2024 campaign with victories at Louisville and Penn State. The Bonnies showed marked improvement across the board, lowing the team ERA by nearly three runs and setting the program record for staff strikeouts (359) while offensively watching the team batting average raise by 27 points over the previous year. Following the season, outfielder Adam Rankie was named First Team Atlantic 10 All-Conference while shortstop David Marshall earned Second Team honors. In the classroom, the team produced a 3.30 cumulative GPA during the Spring semester and earned the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Excellence Award.

“Coach Razz” came to St. Bonaventure after an incredible run at the junior college level.
Rathbun turned Herkimer Community College baseball into one of the most successful and consistent junior college programs in the country during his 17 years at the helm, moving to Bona’s after winning the 2022 national championship. Herkimer won the 2022 national championship in convincing fashion, outscoring teams by a 37-14 margin in the World Series. Rathbun was named Coach of the National Tournament following the championship victory.

In Rathbun’s time at Herkimer, he guided the Generals to a 556-180 overall record while averaging over 30 wins per season.

Rathbun’s squads were nationally ranked in 16 out of his 17 seasons in charge and made eight trips to the NJCAA World Series. His teams enjoyed unprecedented success in the region, winning 15 conference championships and advanced to the regional final 12 times. He also led 75 All-Region players, 25 All-Americans and a trio of Major League Baseball Draft selections.

In Rathbun’s seasons leading Herkimer, the Generals won over 75 percent of their games and he was crowned NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year four times as well as Mountain Valley Conference Coach of the Year  seven times. In 2014, he was named to the Mohawk Valley Baseball Hall of Fame.

A Central New York native, Rathbun served a three-year commitment in the U.S. Army, after which he played collegiately at Herkimer as a two-way player. Upon his graduation from Herkimer, he moved to Division II Erksine College in South Carolina where he posted a 2.64 ERA on the hill as a senior. He holds an associate’s degree from Herkimer CC, a bachelor’s in sports management from Erskine and a master’s degree in sports psychology from Capella University. He and his wife Melissa have two daughters, Alivia and Alexandria, and a son, AJ, who is a fifth generation family member to serve the United States military as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard.

During the summer of 2022, Rathbun coached in the most prestigious summer league in the country as pitching coach for the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod League.

B.J. Salerno
Associate Baseball Head Coach Read more Read less

B.J. Salerno, ’09, serves as the Bonnies Baseball Associate Head Coach and will be entering his 10th season on staff with the program in 2023.

Salerno served as interim head coach during the 2022 season.

As a successful starting catcher during his undergraduate days, Salerno helped lead the Bonnies to the A-10 Tournament three consecutive years (2006-2008). He was also a part of the 2006 Atlantic 10 Tournament runner-up team. Salerno started 152 consecutive games behind the plate for the Brown and White and was a senior co-captain.

In his role as an assistant coach, Salerno worked closely with Bonnies pitchers and catchers and took the lead in recruiting efforts.

With Salerno on staff, the Bonnies were far and away the Atlantic 10’s top pitching staff statistically in 2016, recording a 2.79 team ERA. That total ranked first in the A-10 by over a full run and fourth in all of Division I. Sophomore Brandon Schlimm was named Second Team All-Atlantic 10 while senior Connor Grey set Bona’s all-time season record for strikeouts with 95 and was drafted in the 20th round of the MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks following the season.

In 2017, Salerno oversaw the development of junior Aaron Phillips who became St. Bonaventure’s second player to earn Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year honors after going 9-1 with a 2.77 ERA and was drafted in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants. Freshmen Casey Vincent and Donovan Moffat were each named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team as well. In all, the Bonnies ranked fourth in the A-10 with a staff ERA of 4.03.

In 2019, the Bonnies pitching staff set a program record for season strikeouts with 344.

During Salerno’s time on staff, he has helped recruit and oversee multiple All-Americans. During the four-year stretch between 2017 and 2020, the Bonnies had an All-American selection each year: Phillips (2017 ABCA Third Team All-America), outfielder Sam Fuller (2018 CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team, 2019 First Team) and outfielder Brendyn Stillman (2020 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Second Team All-America). Following the 2021 season, outfielder Tyler Kelder was named Atlantic 10 All-Conference while pitcher Donovan Moffat and shortstop Branden Myers were selected to the A-10 All-Academic Team.

Before joining the Bonnies, Salerno was an assistant baseball coach at Jamestown Community College where he was in charge of the hitters, catchers and outfielders. Salerno also assisted with recruiting.
