Coach Nisco will handle the RiverHawks’ pitching staff, plus assist with the strength and conditioning program and help in developing an extensive recruiting foundation.
The 26-year-old pitched four years (2003-2007) at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, Ca. where he was nominated to be a member of the school’s All-Decade Team.
“Mike not only has a background as a starting pitcher, but also a reliever at the Division I level,” said Janssen. “Knowing what it’s like to pitch in both roles will be a benefit for our staff.”
After his collegiate experience, Nisco played in the professional Italian Baseball League for De Angelis Godo, where he also helped coach the pitching staff.
This past year Nisco coached at De La Salle (Ca.) High School where he inherited a pitching staff with a 4.50 team ERA and reduced that figure to 1.91 in his first year as his club reached the league’s championship game.
Raised in the San Francisco East Bay Area, Nisco also coached at the 18U and 16U level with the Concord Zephyrs this past summer, plus assisted for a collegiate team in the Sacramento Rural League and Horizon Air Summer Series in Northern California.
Nisco is currently working on his Master’s Degree in Health and Kinesiology at NSU; Nisco is the son of Bob and Bernie Nisco, and has a sister, Summer, and a brother, Joey.
