Clemson, SC – Clemson Head Coach Jack Leggett announced the addition of Dan Pepicelli to the baseball coaching staff on Tuesday. Pepicelli replaces Kyle Bunn, who accepted a position on the Alabama coaching staff on September 9, 2009.

Pepicelli (pronounced peh-pih-SEH-lee) spent the past nine seasons (2001-09) as the head coach at Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, NY. Pepicelli, who also served as pitching coach during his tenure with the Cardinal program, led it to a 200-136-1 (.595) record. In the program’s first 13 seasons, it had just three winning seasons. But in Pepicelli’s nine seasons with the Cardinals, he directed them to seven winning seasons and one .500 campaign. In each of his last seven seasons with the Cardinals, he directed them to the postseason, including their first Division III Championship berth in 2007. The Cardinals also won ECAC Upstate Championship titles in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2009.
