FA Names New Head Varsity Baseball Coach
Frederica Academy today announced Timothy Orlosky as its new Head Varsity Baseball Coach and a member of the Middle School and Upper School faculty.
For the past seven years, Coach Orlosky has served as the Assistant Athletic Director for Programs and the Head Varsity Baseball Coach at The Out-of-Door Academy (ODA), a Cum Laude Society PK-12 college preparatory school in Sarasota, Florida. During his ODA tenure, Coach Orlosky compiled an impressive 121-39 win-loss record, won four District Titles, and was named Area Coach of the Year. His team made it to the playoffs seven years and secured three 20-win seasons. Coach Orlosky has stated that he is most proud of his player collegiate placements. Sixteen of his players have advanced to play collegiate baseball, including eight Division 1 student-athletes. His baseball responsibilities included organizing and managing all facets of the school’s varsity, junior varsity, and two middle school teams.
In his administrator role, he was responsible for overseeing the school’s athletic facilities; organizing game day setups; coordinating uniform and equipment orders for all sports; monitoring in-season sports contests; and helping plan and execute athletic fundraising events. He also served as the director of the school’s Program Leaders initiative, the liaison between the athletic department and college counseling office, and as the point person for the track, girls’ soccer, and tennis programs.
Prior to joining ODA, Coach Orlosky was the Assistant Athletic Director, Varsity Baseball Assistant, and Head Middle School Baseball Coach at Windermere Preparatory School; Varsity Baseball Coach, Organizational Hitting Coach, and World History teacher at DeLand High School; and JV Head Baseball Coach at Venice High School, his alma mater. For the past eight years, Coach Orlosky has also coached at every level with the Florida Burn, an elite summer travel organization for high school baseball players living on the west coast of Florida. Last year, the program won one of the most prestigious travel ball tournaments in the country for the second straight year, claiming the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship in both 2018 and 2019.
Coach Orlosky was an accomplished collegiate player at Daytona State College and the University of South Florida (USF). While at Daytona State, he received All-Conference and All-Region honors as an outfielder during his freshman and sophomore seasons. Following Daytona State, Orlosky signed with USF and played two seasons with the Bulls while earning a Bachelor of Arts in secondary education. Upon graduation, he spent a year serving as an assistant baseball coach at Daytona State before beginning his high school coaching career at Venice.
In making the announcement about Coach Orlosky’s baseball appointment, Frederica Academy Athletic Director Carl Nash noted, “we are thrilled to hire someone who has such a distinguished record as a collegiate baseball player, high school baseball coach, travel coach, and athletic administrator. Frederica Academy Head of School Scott Hutchinson added, “Coach Orlosky impressed everyone who had contact with him during his campus visits. His passion for mentoring young people and demonstrated success working at his former highly regarded independent school will serve our community well. Coach Orlosky has a terrific understanding of our mission and is eager to help bring it to life on the baseball field and in the classroom. We are so proud to have him on our faculty roster and coaching staff.”
Coach Orlosky will be joined by his wife, Abby, when he relocates to Saint Simons Island later this month.
