Softball Adds Wilson to Staff as Assistant Coach

June 10, 2025 | Softball

AMHERST, Mass. -- Massachusetts softball head coach Danielle Henderson has announced the addition of Roger Wilson to the coaching staff as an assistant coach on Tuesday afternoon.

Roger Wilson is coming off his second season with the Boston College softball coaching staff, overseeing hitting, player development, and recruiting. During Wilson's first season with the program (2024) coaching defense, the team recorded the fewest number of errors since 2014 (not counting the shortened 2020 season).

Before joining the Eagles, Wilson spent the past six years working at all levels of the game, developing players' individual skills. Wilson also coached within the Concord Raiders and New Jersey Pride organizations, assisting in the college prep program with player development and on-field management. 

Serving as a player development analyst with the Baltimore Orioles (2017-19) and Philadelphia Phillies (2019-22), Wilson performed advanced statistical analysis for player evaluation, built integrated performance tracking systems, and delivered player development plans and reports.

As an athlete, Wilson played baseball at the California University of Pennsylvania where he captained the team and earned a bachelor's degree in pre-law.
