During his seven seasons at Fairfield, Brian Fay has been promoted to the Associate Head Coach and has helped guide the Stags to the most successful stretches in school history. During his time the Stags have won the 2025 MAAC Tournament Title and four regular season championships, while reaching 30-wins in six-straight seasons. They have advanced to two NCAA Regionals including earning the conference's first-ever At-Large bid.
In total, the Stags have won 217 games and 64 percent of their contests during his stay.
Fay has been a part of two 39-win Fairfield teams that set the program's single-season record for wins. He has also aided in the development of 42 All-MAAC players, including 29 offensive players. 16 of those 29 Stags were named to the conference’s First Team.
Fay was also crucial in the development of three MAAC Players of the Year in Jack Gethings, Mike Caruso, and Charlie Pagliarini. Gethings became the program’s first-ever MAAC Player of the Year after setting a single season record with 88 hits.
Pagliraini had the best offensive season in school history, blasting the single season record with 24 homers and broke the MAAC single season record with 97 RBI.
He was also a part of the most historic regular season in conference history, helping guide the Stags to a 35-1 record and a .972 winning percentage, the highest in NCAA Division I history.
That success put the Stags in the national spotlight as Fairfield was awarded their first-ever ranking in a national Top-25 poll as they reached No. 23 in Baseball America.
In his seven seasons mentoring the offense, the Stags have a .297 team batting average, 325 homers, a .406 on-base percentage, and a .503 slugging percentage. The Stags have also averaged 8.0 runs per game during those three seasons.
Fay was a four year letter winner at Siena and won the MAAC Championship as a junior in 2014, advancing to the NCAA Regionals in the Fort Worth Regional where he helped the Saints win their first-ever NCAA Tournament game.
