- Director of Operations
Chris O’Neill joined the Duke baseball staff as the Director of Operations in February of 2021.
In his role, O’Neill coordinates team travel and meals, assists with the recruiting process and on-campus visits and coordinates all Duke baseball camps.
In O'Neill's first season at Duke, the Blue Devils captured the 2021 ACC Tournament Championship, the first tournament title in program history, and reach the 2021 Knoxville Regional.
O’Neill comes to Durham after serving as an assistant coach at Bucknell during the 2020 season. While at Bucknell, he oversaw outfielder Chris Cannizzaro being named the Patriot League’s breakout hitter by D1Baseball.com.
Prior to his stint at Bucknell, O’Neill coached for two years at Marshall University. He worked primarily with the hitters as well as the infield unit. In 2019, O’Neill helped guide the Thundering Herd to its first winning season since 2016, as well as help the team rank second in batting average (.285) and stolen bases (84) in Conference USA play. O’Neill also saw short stop Elvis Peralta drafted by the Athletics in the 26th round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
Before his stop at Marshall, O’Neill spent one season as an assistant at Maryland Eastern Shore. While at UMES, O’Neill helped the Hawks swipe 86 bases, the most since the 2010 season. The steals also ranked 23rd in Division I that year. The Hawks also qualified for the MEAC Tournament that same season.
Prior to his time in Princess Anne, Maryland, O’Neill served as the hitting coach/recruiting coordinator at Concordia University Ann Arbor. O’Neill helped the Cardinals improve in hits, runs scored, doubles, triples, RBI, and stolen bases in his first season, while improving once again in his second season. In 2017, the Cardinals posted the most wins in program history, as well as posting a team batting average of .275.
Additionally, O’Neill was the manager for the Grand Lake Mariners in the summer of 2016 and 2017. In his first season, he helped guide the Mariners to the most wins since 2009 while qualifying for the postseason. O’Neill followed up his successful managerial debut with a runner-up finish and 27 wins in 2017. The finals appearance was the first for the Mariners since 2006.
O’Neill began his coaching career at Tarboro High School in North Carolina in 2014.
He received his Bachelor’s degree in Education from King’s College in 2012.
O’Neill is married to the former Kaitlin Mangan and the couple has one son, Easton.
