Sergio Brown is in his second year as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Cal State Fullerton and in his third stint with the Titan baseball program. He served as the team's administrative assistant in both 2002 and 2003 and was a middle infielder for Augie Garrido on the Titans' 1995 national championship squad.

In addition to heading up Fullerton's recruiting, Brown's duties include working with the Titan outfielders while also providing the team's hitting instruction.

Under his tutelage, the Titans jumped their batting average from .277 in 2007 to .303 in 2008 and finished first in the Big West Conference in doubles, walks, hit batters, on base percentage and RBI, and were tied for second with the fewest strikeouts.

Brown's 2009 recruiting class - his first with the Titans - was nationally recognized by both Baseball America (15th) and Collegiate Baseball (14th) in September of 2008 giving him a pair of back-to-back ranked recruiting classes. His 2007 class at UC Irvine (14th by Baseball America and 22nd by Collegiate Baseball) proved successful as the Anteaters advanced to the College World Series for the first time in the program's history.

As a team, the 2007 Irvine offense led the Big West Conference in almost every category including batting average (.317), slugging percentage (.447), on-base percentage (.393) and hits (697) under Brown's watch.

Brown's coaching career started in 1996 at Cypress College where he spent six seasons at the junior college powerhouse, serving as the team's primary recruiting coordinator and the base running and defensive coach. While at Cypress he helped guide the Chargers to a California Community College State Championship in 1997 and a pair of runner-up finishes in 1996 and 1999. Among the players he helped develop are four current major leaguers - UCLA All-Pac 10 outfielder Ben Francisco (Cleveland), Texas Tech All-American Keith Ginter (Milwaukee), Wake Forest All-American Cory Sullivan (Colorado) and catcher Gerald Laird (Texas).

Before concluding his playing career at Fullerton, Brown competed at Cal Poly Pomona from 1991-93 where the Broncos won a CCAA championship his rookie season.

Brown, 35, holds a master's degree in education from Azusa Pacific and a bachelor's degree in English from Cal State Fullerton. He lives in Whittier with his wife, Olivia, and sons, Vincent (8) and toddler Cruz (1).
