10  Chuck Jeroloman Position: Volunteer Assistant Coach | 1st Season

Chuck Jeroloman joined the TCU coaching staff as the volunteer assistant in the fall of 2011. He most recently retired from professional baseball after playing seven seasons at various levels.

His responsibilities at TCU include coaching the catchers, throwing batting practice, manning the bullpen during games and filling in as the first base coach.

"We are excited to welcome Chuck, his wife Tara and his son, Owen, to the TCU family," said Schlossnagle. "He comes highly recommended from people throughout the college and professional baseball world. I think he will be a great fit for our staff and his experience at the highest level of college baseball and his time as a professional player will, no doubt, benefit our players."

"I am extremely excited to join the staff at TCU," said Jeroloman. "This is one of the better programs in the country and it's an honor to be part of the staff. I have heard people say nothing but good things about the program, staff and school. I have a lot of respect for coaches (Jim) Schlossnagle, (Randy) Mazey and (Tony) Vitello. I hope I can help add to what they have already started here at TCU. I want to play a part in getting this team back to Omaha."

Jeroloman was a three-year starter at Auburn from 2002-04 before being drafted in the 21st round by the Boston Red Sox in 2004. As a Tiger, he played in 175 games and amassed 33 doubles, 12 home runs and drove in 91 runs.
