BATON ROUGE, La. — Ross Brezovsky, the LSU baseball director of operations for the 2009 through 2013 seasons, passed away Wednesday after a four-year battle with cancer. He was 39 years old.
Brezovsky worked at LSU during head coach Paul Mainieri’s tenure, and he helped lead the Tigers to the 2009 College World Series National Championship, the 2009 and 2012 SEC Championships, a 2013 CWS appearance and three SEC Tournament titles.
Brezovsky played at Notre Dame – including two seasons (2005-06) under Mainieri – as a four-year starting infielder and outfielder. He started 220 games for the Irish from 2005-08, finishing with a .289 career batting average, 39 doubles, eight triples, 11 homers, 130 RBI and 138 runs.
A product of Barron Collier High School in Naples, Fla., Brezovsky received economics and computer applications degrees in May 2008 from Notre Dame, and he was hired by Mainieri as LSU’s operations director in August 2008.
Brezovsky is survived by his wife, Kim, and their two children.
