Anthony Perry will be entering his first season at the helm of the Raiders Baseball program when the first pitch is thrown in 2012.

A graduate of Fisher College in Boston, MA where he was a three time All-Conference and All-Region outfielder, Anthony became the first player from Fisher to sign a professional contract. He played two seasons for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the independent Atlantic League under manager Butch Hobson.

A native of Andover, Massachusetts, Anthony now resides in Belmont, MA. He will also serve as the College's Sports Information Director.

Mike Oliveira joins the Raider Coaching Staff after finishing his college playing career at Fisher College in Boston, MA.

In his four years at Fisher, Coach Oliveira was a part of four Conference Championship teams along with being a three year starter at second base.

In 2010, Oliveira was named All-Conference after hitting .336 and playing solid defense. In his senior year (2011), he was awarded the NAIA Gold Glove at Second Base after committing just two errors in over 160 chances (43 games).

Coach Oliveira will primarily work with the infielders while assisting Coach Perry on the day-to-day operations of the program.

Handling the pitching staff this season will be current professional pitcher Jon Shepard. This past summer, Shepard pitched in the independent Can-Am League for the New York Federals and the Rockland Boulders.

During his high school years at Triton Regional, Shepard was a blue chip prospect getting the attention from NCAA Division 1 programs such as Virginia, North Carolina and Alabama. He finally settled at Wheaton College where he graduated in 2010.

He was a member of the Lyons baseball program all four years including making trips to the New England Regionals. In his senior season, Shepard appeared in 22 games recording 9 saves (fifth most in NCAA D3 in 2010) with a 1.04 ERA. He was named to the All American team by D3baseball.com along with being a member of the NEIBA All Star team that played inside of Fenway Park.

Shepard, who currently works at Game 7 Sports Training in Revere, MA, is responsible for not only the pitching staff but also the strength and conditioning of the Baseball program.
