McMillan Named Head Coach

The Boca Raton Lightning are pleased to announce that Lynn University Assistant Coach Beau McMillan will manage the 2013 Lightning squad.  "We are thrilled to have Beau on our staff, his baseball experience and knowledge is a great asset to our organization and players", said General Manager Vince Farfaglia.  In addition to McMillan's extensive professional playing career with the Marlins, he coached the 2009 NCAA D2 National Champion Lynn University.  Below is Coach McMillan's biography:

 

Beau McMillan is in his fifth season on the bench with Lynn University following stints in the minor leagues and independent baseball. In addition, McMillan is one of the top offensive players in Knights’ history after four highly successful years with the Blue and White led to him being drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 39th round of the 2004 draft. With Lynn, McMillin is responsible for first-base and hitting coaching duties while helping with the development of both the infield and outfield.

In his first year with LU, he oversaw eight team offensive records shattered as LU won its first national title.  The Knights broke marks for at-bats, hits, runs batted in, total bases, runs, walks, on-base percentage and sacrifice flies while also finishing in the top-three for doubles, slugging %, sacrifice hits, batting average and home runs.

The only player in program history to garner First Team All-Sunshine State Conference accolades twice, McMillan left LU with program records for doubles (49), total bases (394), runs scored (200) and stolen bases (77).  He also finished in the top-five for games played (196) and started (194), hits (251), at-bats (758), triples (8), home runs (26) and runs batted in (119).  

McMillan began his professional career with the Gulf Coast League Marlins before being twice promoted to the Jamestown Jammers of the New York Penn League and the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the South Atlantic League.  Before his playing days were through, he had advanced to the Marlins Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Following his playing career, he worked with Perfect Competition, a company that promotes performance enhancement, skill and professional development and sports nutrition.
A 2004 graduate with a degree in business administration, McMillan resides in Delray Beach.
