Brian Leighton enters his 19th season as the head baseball coach at Albertus Magnus College. Just the second head coach in Albertus baseball history, Leighton received the reigns of the Falcons’ program in the summer of 2004.

Leighton guided the Falcons to an overall record of 10-24 in the 2022 season. The Falcons turned their season around after a slow start to the campaign, posting a 10-12 record during the second half of the season. Behind a league mark of 8-10, the Falcons advanced to the GNAC tournament as the sixth seed, where they fell to the second-seeded Wildcats of Johnson & Wales University in the playoff opener. Coach Leighton had three players - Matt Lewczyk (Windsor, Conn.), Jason Sullivan (Meriden, Conn.), and Sean Jefferson (West Haven, Conn.) - receive GNAC All-Conference honors. At the same time, Michael Pepe (Cheshire, Conn.) was named to the GNAC All-Sportsmanship Team.
