Kyle Werman joins head coach Fritz Hamburg's staff in time for the 2013 season.

Werman is a 2005 graduate of the University of Virginia, where he walked onto the Cavalier baseball team and became a four-year starter at second base. He spent the last two seasons at Radford University in Radford, Virginia, following a two-year stint at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Werman also spent a season at his alma mater after one year as an assistant at Oakton High School in Fairfax.

Upon graduating from Virginia, Werman spent the 2005 season with the Kingsport Mets of the Appalachian League, a Rookie-class affiliate of the New York Mets. He also played professionally with the Washington Wild Things of the independent Frontier League for two seasons.

"Kyle's addition to our program means a great deal to me," said Hamburg. "Through the entire process, his name kept coming up and everyone with whom I spoke had only great things to say about him. Kyle's motor works at a very high level and his game knowledge, work ethic and experience will only help in our effort to win Atlantic 10 championships. I am very enthused about his decision to come on board."

Werman holds both bachelor's and master's degrees from Virginia. He will work with the SJU infielders and will focus on bunting and baserunning as well. Werman will also serve as the Hawks' third base coach and recruiting coordinator.
