USCB Athletics

Bryan Lewallyn joined USCB as assistant baseball coach in August 2010 and took over as the Sand Sharks' interim head coach in November 2011. After leading the Sand Sharks to a school-record 41 wins and their first Avista-NAIA World Series berth in his first season, Lewallyn officially was named USCB's head baseball coach.

Lewallyn has compiled 162 wins in his first five seasons at the helm, making him the winningest coach in the program's brief history. In 2016, the Sand Sharks claimed the first regular-season Sun Conference title in program history, while also setting a program-record with 42 wins, climbing as high as No. 5 in the NAIA Baseball Coaches Top 25 Poll, and qualifying for the NAIA National Championship Opening Round for the third time in five seasons.

Lewallyn began his baseball career in sales and public relations with the New Orleans Zephyrs, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets, before becoming pitching coach with the Pensacola Pelicans professional team of the American Association. With the Pelicans, Lewallyn worked with former major league pitchers and had two of his players sign contracts with major league organizations. He also had the opportunity to attend the Major League Baseball scouting bureau’s scout school program, where he learned the process of evaluating amateur and professional talent. Before arriving at USCB, Lewallyn was the pitching coach at Northwest Florida State College. 

Lewallyn received a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida. He was pitcher at Pensacola Junior College from 2001-03,  playing on the 2002 state tournament team. His father, Dennis, was a pitcher in the major leagues with the Dodgers, Indians and Rangers and is currently a minor league pitching coach for the Atlanta Braves organization.

Lewallyn lives in Bluffton with his wife, Emily, and their daughter, Ellis.
