MC Coaching Staff

Head Coach:  C.J. Mooney

CJ Mooney was selected to be the MCC Head Baseball Coach prior to the start of the 2014 Baseball Season. Coach Mooney was honored as the 2016 Region XIX “Coach of the Year”, as his team finished the regular season with a (28-14, 16-8) record and advanced into the quarterfinals of the Region XIX Tournament. The 2016 Colts finished with the second most wins in program history (29). The 2017 Colts finished the year with (25) wins, marking the first time since 2003-2004 with consecutive 20+ game winning seasons. During the 2018 season, Mooney earned his 100th career win on April 29th, in a 12-0 victory at Bucks County College. The 2019 MCC Blue Colts finished the season with (26) wins and a trip to the Region XIX Quarterfinals. This was the 3rd time in the last 4 seasons that the program had won at least 25 or more games in a single season. Coach Mooney currently sits 4th all-time on the career wins list with a total of 138. 

Not only have the Blue Colts found success on the ball field during Mooney's tenure, they have also been incredibly successful in the classroom. Since the spring of 2014, there have been 10 Academic All-Americans, 46 All-Academic Region XIX and 67 All-Academic GSAC student athletes. This academic success has led to the baseball team capturing the overall Men's Team GPA Award in 2015 (3.09), 2016 (3.44), 2017 (3.28), 2019 (3.22).

As a player, Mooney was a two year starter and letter-winner at Middlesex County College in 2009-2010. In 2010, he was named a First Team NJCAA Academic All-American. After his playing days at MCC were over, Coach Mooney transferred to Rutgers Camden. In his first season with the Scarlet Raptors, he became an All-American when he was named to the 2011 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division III Gold Glove Team. Coach Mooney earned the honor as the best defensive first baseman in the country. In 2012, CJ was named to the Capital One Academic All American Division III Baseball Third Team with a 4.0 GPA. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Rutgers-Camden with his Bachelor’s Degree. He also earned his Master’s Degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University Irvine graduating with a 3.96 GPA. Aside from coaching, CJ works full-time as an academic advisor at Middlesex County College.

Assistant Coach:  Brian Weins

 Coach Brian Weins has been a member of the MCC baseball coaching staff since the spring of 2014. A former MCC baseball player himself, coaching and teaching has always been a passion of his. Following his playing days at Middlesex, coach Weins embarked on his coaching career in the summer of 2013. Working alongside Cal Ripken Jr., he traveled around the country teaching the youth how to play baseball as a part of the “Ripken Way.” Coach Weins also joined the Woodbridge High School staff in the summer of 2013, helping lead the Barrons to the NJABC State Championship as their pitching coach. This was the first baseball state championship in Woodbridge school history.

 Throughout his tenure at MCC, coach Weins has played a vital role in helping to advance the program. He has helped create multiple social media accounts as well as a team website to create more exposure for the athletes. His primary role on the staff is to work with the pitchers and catchers, but he also spends a great deal of time with the hitters and the recruitment of prospective high school student athletes as well. During the 2016 season, coach Weins helped guide the MCC pitching staff to 29 wins and a 4.32 team ERA, which included two undefeated starting pitchers.
