Andy Barlow enters his seventh season at the helm of the
Engineers' baseball program. Inheriting a team that had gone 7-17
and 1-26 in the two years prior to his arrival, Barlow immediately
revitalized the club as MIT has enjoyed winning seasons in five out
of his first six years. The 2009 season marked one of the most
successful campaigns in program history as the Engineers eclipsed
the Institute's single-season wins mark, going 25-14, and advanced
to the Championship round of the NEWMAC tournament, as Barlow
received the NEWMAC Coach of the Year award for the first time in
his career.
Prior to that season, the Engineers had consistently been at the
top of the highly competitive NEWMAC and had made three consecutive
trips to the conference tournament's semifinals (2006-2008). Other
key accomplishments during his tenure have been back-to-back 20-win
seasons as well as two ECAC Tournament selections. During the
course of the 2006 regular season MIT defeated defending NCAA
national champion Wisconsin-Whitewater, nationally ranked Southern
Maine, as well as perennial powerhouse Williams College en route to
a 21-14 season and a first-ever appearance in the NEWMAC
Championship Game. MIT's opponent in the finals, Wheaton College,
went on to the Division III World Series in Appleton, Wisconsin,
lost in the championship game, and finished the season with a #2
national ranking.
With 20 years of dugout experience, Barlow made the move to
Cambridge from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where he served for nine seasons
as Vassar College's Head Baseball Coach.
After initiating a feeder system in Maine through the
development of a youth clinic, Barlow extended his professional
repertoire in 1988 to include the college scene, where he assumed
duties as an assistant baseball coach at the University of
Maryland. In 1991, Barlow made the switch to Hamilton, N.Y.,
specializing in the training of the pitching staff at Colgate
University. Barlow stayed with the Red Raiders until inheriting the
Vassar program in 1995, opting for the head coaching tag of a team
that was just three years removed from club status. During his time
with the Brewers, the Vassar program improved every season,
beginning as conference basement dwellers and closing with a
record-breaking season in 2002 for victories.
A 1985 graduate of the University of Vermont, Barlow's breadth
of experience also includes time spent coaching in some of the top
collegiate summer leagues in the country. In addition to a
five-year stint for the Wareham Gateman of the prestigious Cape Cod
League, Barlow also has served as an assistant coach for the Mill
City All-Americans of the New England Collegiate Baseball League
(NECBL). Over the years, Barlow has coached numerous aspiring and
current players of Major League Baseball including Lance Berkman,
Ben Sheets, and Barry Zito.
Barlow is a longtime member of the American Baseball Coaches
Association (ABCA) and is also an active member of the New England
Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA).

MIT is fortunate to have the services of Chip
Forrest, one of the most successful collegiate coaches in the New
England area. Entering his sixth season, Forrest has played a big
role in the Engineers recent resurgence. This season he once again
will be responsible for the coaching of MIT's hitters and
infielders. During his time at MIT, Forrest has turned the
Engineers into one of the best offensive teams in the conference
and has helped them to three consecutive appearances in the NEWMAC
Tournament Semifinals (2006-2008). In 2006 the club advanced to the
NEWMAC Championship Game for the first time in program history and
earned a post-season bid to the ECAC Tournament.
Forrest's coaching career began in 1991 as an
assistant coach at Boston College. After working three seasons for
the Eagles, he was named Head Coach of Stonehill College in 1994.
While there, his program enjoyed great success and in 1995, Forrest
was recognized as the Northeast 10 Coach of the Year.
In 1998 Forrest moved back to Division I
baseball as he accepted an assistant coaching position at Harvard
University. Named Hitting, Outfield Defense, and First Base Coach,
Forrest quickly made his mark. During his two season with the
Crimson, the baseball program captured consecutive Ivy League
Championships, made two NCAA Regional Tournament appearances, and
was ranked 24th in the nation for a period of time.
Forrest's coaching career has also included
stops at two of the most prestigious summer baseball leagues in the
country. After serving as an assistant coach with the Wareham
Gatemen of the Cape League for several seasons, he was named Head
Coach of the Mill City All-Americans of the New England Collegiate
Baseball League in 1999. In 2000, Forrest was named NECBL Manager
of the Year.
Forrest is a well-known and respected clinician
in the New England Region and is currently an instructor for Strike
One Baseball Facility in Danvers, Massachusetts.
