Ronald Nero, of Cheektowaga, will be entering his 3rd season as the Medaille College Men’s Baseball Coach for the NCAA Division III Mavericks. Mr. Nero is also a New York State Trooper, serving 20 years with the force. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education and Health from the University at Buffalo, and is a certified teacher. He was also an All Western New York player in baseball and football at Maryvale High School.
After graduating from UB, he signed a professional baseball contract with the Auburn Americans, an affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals organization. For 15 years, Mr. Nero coached at the high school varsity ( Cheektowaga and West Seneca East) and little league levels.
Nero describes his style as traditional “old school baseball,” where discipline and no showboating are what is expected. He acknowledges to have learned from the best baseball people in the Western New York area including Bill Monkarsch (UB), Don Colpoys (Canisius and Triple ABA), and Jerry Slawek ( Empire State program and Cheektowaga). “I take a little bit from everybody and put it together into a style that is my own.”
