Assistant Coach Dan Merian

Assistant Coach Dan Merian '07

Dan Merian, one year removed from an outstanding career as an outfielder for the Scots, joins the Alma College Baseball Staff for the 2008 season.

Merian was a four year letter winner in baseball at Alma College and served as Co-Captain as a senior and was also named the team MVP during that 2007 season.

Merian brings a knowledge of baseball and of what it takes to succeed on the diamond and in the classroom. A knowledge that he hopes to pass on to a freshman heavy Maroon and Cream Squad.

Merian earned his B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from Alma College in 2007 and is currently working on a Masters in Economics at Central Michigan University.

 

Alma College is one of the best colleges fostering social responsibility and public service, according to The Princeton Review and Campus Compact. It is one of 81 institutions in 33 states —and the only private college in Michigan — that The Princeton Review commends and features in its book, Colleges With a Conscience: 81 Great Schools with Outstanding Community Involvement.
