SUNY Ulster Names Alumnus Randy Delanoy as Head Baseball Coach

by
Press Release, baseball, Delanoy

Baseball to Resume Spring 2026

January 22, 2025 – Stone Ridge, NY – SUNY Ulster is pleased to announce hiring Randy Delanoy as Head Baseball Coach. Delanoy brings nine years of coaching experience and many accomplishments as a coach and player to the position.

 Starting his coaching career at SUNY Ulster in 2016, Delanoy helped secure the title of Region 15 Champions in 2019, 2021, and 2022. He moved on to organize and manage 12 travel baseball teams as Owner and Head Coach of Hudson Valley Select Baseball where he ran the baseball facility, provided hitting lessons and clinics, and helped his athletes develop relationships with prospective colleges.

 Delanoy graduated from SUNY Ulster in 2013 with an associate’s degree in Individual Studies and transferred to St. Bonaventure University where he received his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management. At SUNY Ulster, Delanoy played second and third base and was Team Captain in 2012 and 2013. He was also the Team Captain at St. Bonaventure in 2015.

One of Delanoy’s first responsibilities will be to build a strong team for the Fall 2025 exhibition season and Spring 2026 season. Ryan Snair, Athletics Director at Ulster says, “It is unfortunate but Ulster has decided to cancel baseball for the upcoming spring 2025 season. We just didn’t have enough pitching to get through the rigors of a season without threatening injury to the pitchers we did have. We are confident that Coach Delanoy will lead our program back to prominence for the upcoming fall exhibition season and ultimately our spring of 2026 season.”

“We are excited to have SUNY Ulster alumnus and former student-athlete Randy Delanoy return to SUNY Ulster as Head Baseball Coach as we continue our momentum supporting our student-athletes,” stated President Alison Buckley, Ed.D.
