Thomas More Prep-Marian announced Tuesday that Aaron Breit, a 2004 graduate of TMP-M, has accepted the position of head high school baseball coach. He begins his role as the team prepares for the 2018-19 Season.
Breit has coached with Dusty Washburn for several seasons at TMP-Marian.
“He is the brightest baseball mind I know,” Washburn stated when asked about his successor. “My decision to leave was a difficult one and knowing that the program would be in good hands helped me decide to go to FHSU.”
In addition, Washburn added that he is looking forward to the level of play and recruiting aspects that FHSU has to offer. TMP-Marian and Troy Schulte, activities director, thanked Washburn for his time and dedication to the baseball program.
“Dusty did a great job leading the program the past two years, and I wish him the best of luck as he looks to join the FHSU baseball program,” Schulte said.
Breit said he is excited to keep the program moving forward.
When asked about his philosophy he said, “I want to make sure the players stay fundamentally sound in their faith and in life.”
“Coach Breit has been a tremendous asset to the TMP-Marian Baseball Program the past couple of years as an associate head coach and I believe he will provide a seamless transition in taking over as the head coach,” Schulte said. “Coach Breit has great knowledge of the game and more importantly is an outstanding role model for our male athletes.”
Breit lives in Hays with his wife, Jami, and their children — Connor, a fifth grader at Holy Family Elementary; Cy, a preschooler at HFE; and Reed, a future Monarch.
