PLU Fastpitch Assistant Coaches

Lynn Batchelder, Assistant Coach

Lynn Batchelder, formerly the head softball coach at Stadium High School in Tacoma, is in her first year as a Pacific Lutheran University softball assistant coach.

Batchelder coached five years at Stadium High School, guiding the Tigers to a 93-43 record, three consecutive top-eight finishes at the State 4A tournament and the 2008 4A West Central District 3 championship. Batchelder earned 2006 and 2008 Narrows League Coach of the Year recognition. She has also coached the Sidewinders 18-U Gold team and is currently coaching the Sidewinders 10-U development team. Her coaching interests go beyond the diamond as the former high school soccer coach currently coaches youth indoor and outdoor soccer.

As a former collegiate player, Batchelder was an All-America infielder at Portland State University and an all-conference centerfielder at Oregon State University.

Batchelder, who earned her bachelor's degree and teacher certification from the University of Washington, has enjoyed a 16-year career in law enforcement, teaching and currently as operator of her family business.

Batchelder, who has a 15-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, is working on her master's in criminal justice administration and, when time permits, likes to hack her way around the golf course.

Greg Seeley, Assistant Coach

Greg Seeley is in his first season as a Pacific Lutheran softball assistant coach. He has been a successful high school, ASA and youth coach for many years. In six years at Eastlake and Skyline high schools, Seeley's teams qualified for the state tournament three times, finishing in the top eight each time, including a second-place finish in 2004. On two other occasions his teams were one win away from qualifying for the state tournament. Seeley has coached more than a dozen players that have gone on to play college softball. In addition, his teams won two youth state championships and finished third in state over a four-year period.

In addition to softball, Seeley has enjoyed coaching football, baseball, basketball and tennis. He has coached football for the past 10 years, the last seven at Eastlake High School in Sammamish. Greg believes that coaching affords him the opportunity to help teach young people to become passionate and confident about the challenges they face now and in the future.

Seeley completed his undergraduate study at the University of Washington and attended law school at the University of Utah. He played football for the Huskies in the early 1980s, including two Rose Bowl appearances.

Seeley, who has his own law firm in Kirkland, has been married 26 years to his wife, Margarita. They have three children: Tawnia graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in advertising; Justin is a junior at the University of Arizona; and Rachel is a freshman at the University of Washington.
