Bryan Torresani was named the head coach of the Mighty Macs’ baseball program along with the Manager of Facilities on January 22, 2013.
Torresani is entering his fifth season as the head coach of the Immaculata baseball program in 2017 and looks to make it four straight seasons of playoff appearances for the Mighty Macs. Thus far, he has compiled an overall record of 78-68 with a 40-32 mark in CSAC play, both of which are program best marks.
The 2016 season was a record setting one for the Mighty Macs as they established a new program-best with 23 wins against 21 losses, and made it three straight seasons of a program-best 11-7 in CSAC play. The team made their third consecutive berth in the conference postseason, earned the number two seed, and made their first appearance in the CSAC Championship game before falling to eventual NCAA Division III Runner Up, Keystone College. In the postseason, the Macs lost their opener, but bounced back by beating No. 4 Gwynedd Mercy, 3-2, in 11 innings, and No. 3 Neumann, 19-7, before falling to the Giants in the title game.
For the second time in his tenure, Torresani guided seven players to All-CSAC accolades, led by First Team All-CSAC and Second Team All-Region left fielder Jason McCormick. He also mentored pitcher Dan Whalen, catcher Ryan Tecco, designated hitter Matt Simon, and pitcher Trevor O’Brien to Second Team All-CSAC and first baseman Mike Lascomb and right fielder Howie Kalamets to Honorable Mention All-CSAC.
In 2014, Immaculata set a then-program record with 21 victories against just 14 losses and an 11-7 record in the CSAC which earned them the third seed in the postseason, the second playoff appearance for Immaculata. They went 1-2 in the postseason including a 12-1 elimination game victory over Neumann. Torresani mentored seven players to All-CSAC honors, including pitchers Dan Whalen and Nick Campione to the first team. Rob Wallace, Pat Boulware, and Joe DiGiaimo all earned All-CSAC accolades for the second straight season while Jason McCormick and Rick DiDomenico got it for the first time. The Mighty Macs also earned the 3-D Award as voted upon by the member institutions for exemplifying the Division III ideals of Discover, Discover, and Dedicate.
In 2015, the Mighty Macs went 18-16 overall and equaled their CSAC mark from a season before at 11-7. That earned them the fourth seed in the CSAC postseason where they went 1-2, including a 4-3 opening round win over number one Marywood. During the season, the Mighty Macs tied a program-record with nine consecutive CSAC victories as they swept Gwynedd Mercy, Cairn, and Centenary. Torresani helped six Mighty Macs earned All-CSAC honors, beginning with utility player Jason McCormick and relief pitcher Kenny Anderson on the First Team All-CSAC. Third baseman Rob Wallace, shortstop Ryan Ficca, and designated hitter Matt Lawson were named Second Team All-CSAC and centerfielder Rick DiDomenico earned Honorable Mention All-CSAC for the second consecutive season.
Off the field, Immaculata won the Team Academic Award for having the highest GPA amongst all institutions within the sport in 2014. They also had 15 team members named to the 2013-14 CSAC Winter/Spring All-Academic Team and had 12 honored on the 2014-15 CSAC Winter/Spring All-Academic Team.
In his first season, the team went 16-17 with a 7-11 mark in CSAC play. In 2013, four baseball players were named to the Second Team All-CSAC, two were named Honorable Mention, and 14 were named to the 2013 CSAC Winter/Spring All-Academic Team.
Torresani came to Immaculata from La Salle University, where he was since September of 2012, serving primarily as a recruiting coordinator. He was also heavily involved in the team’s fall workout program preparing for the 2013 campaign.
Prior to his tenure at La Salle, Torresani was the assistant head baseball coach at Chestnut Hill College for five seasons. He worked with the pitching staff for the 2010 and 2011 seasons when Chestnut Hill went to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference playoffs.

Additionally, he was heavily involved in fundraising and recruiting for the young baseball program.
While serving as assistant head baseball coach at Chestnut Hill College, Torresani was the Associate Director of Admissions responsible for marketing the college and assisting prospective students with the application process.
