Jerod Edmondson '06 served as head baseball coach from 2020 through the fall of 2023, spending four years as head coach. 

The team in 2022 set a program record for home runs at 57, breaking a record that stood since the 2001 season. The 2022 squad ranks fifth in slugging percentage at .456, sixth in on-base percentage (.370), third in runs (306), tied third with 86 doubles, sixth with nine triples, and second most with 274 runs driven in all in program history. Saint Anselm's 22 wins are the most since the 2012 season and are the sixth most in a single season. Hawks pitching fanned 303 batters this season which is third best in team annals.

In the 2021 season, Edmondson oversaw a dramatic uptick in the team's offense. The Hawks slugged 40 home runs in just 29 games, the second-most in a single season all-time. From 2015-20, the Hawks homered 39 times across a span of 216 games. The team's .467 slugging and .387 on-base percentages to conclude the 2021 season rank second all-time in single-season team annals.

Through the team's 4-0 start, the Hawks outscored their opposition by a combined 34-to-11 margin. Saint Anselm finished its year on a two-game winning streak, defeating Northern State by a 10-2 margin on Friday, Mar. 6 before posting a 6-1 victory over West Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday, Mar. 7. The season ended in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Edmondson returned to the Hilltop from UMass Lowell where he was an Assistant Coach for the baseball program under former Saint Anselm Head Coach Ken Harring. With the River Hawks, Edmondson served as the team's hitting coach and recruiting coordinator.

During his time with the River Hawks (2007-09, 2016-19), he was responsible for many aspects of the NCAA Division I program, including the scheduling and planning of practices and training, team meals, scouting reports, recruiting and fundraising.

Prior to UMass Lowell, Edmondson was an assistant coach at Framingham State University (2013-15) and was promoted to Interim Head Coach in 2014. While with the Rams, Edmondson managed a roster of 25 student-athletes and was responsible for both strength and conditioning and all recruiting duties.

The league-leader in batting average (.332) in 2009, Edmondson was a two-time All-Star pick (2009, 2011) and is the Can-Am League all-time record holder with 411 at-bats in one season, accomplished with Worcester in 2012. During his career, he also served as his teams' Hitting Coach while a member of the active roster.

A four-year standout on the Saint Anselm baseball team, Edmondson was a part of the winningest class of student-athletes in Saint Anselm history. Helping the Hawks to their first-ever ECAC Division II Championship in 2003, Edmondson and the Hawks would win 95 games across his four-year career.

Edmondson was a four-year member of the Saint Anselm baseball program and later competed for UMass Lowell during graduate school. Between both stops, Edmondson batted .332, notching over 250 career hits in 203 career contests. Edmondson played for Harring at Saint Anselm from 2003-04 and later did so as a graduate student at UMass Lowell in 2007.

He was also a four-time All-Conference selection by the Northeast-10 Conference. As a freshman, he picked up Third Team honors alongside two Second Team nods (2004, 2007). In his final season on the Hilltop, Edmondson was a First Team All-NE10 pick after batting .371 with 63 hits, 31 runs batted in and 20 stolen bases.

On the Hilltop, Edmondson ranks second all-time with 11 triples, fourth in stolen bases (39), fifth in hits (184) and seventh with a career batting average of .330. He is one of only six student-athletes in team history with 100 or more runs scored in a career and stands as the all-time leader with 1,317 defensive putouts.

The recipient of All-New England honors from the ABCA and Daktronics in 2006, Edmondson capped a standout Hawks career with an appearance at the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Coaches' Association Division II/III All-Star Game played at Fenway Park.
