Head Pitching Coach: Julie Bolduc
Julie Bolduc
is the owner of and pitching instructor for Julie Bolduc’s Pro Pitch, Inc., where she and her staff train over 80 students
weekly. She has taught and trained hundreds of athletes since 1995, and annually hosts her full-to-capacity Pro Pitch
Girls Summer Softball Camps where she directs a staff of 15, each with different areas of expertise, who work with about 100
students per week. She currently serves as the pitching consultant for Adelphi University, and has previously consulted
for Queens College, Stony Brook University, St. John’s University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. With more than
25 years of playing and consulting experience, Julie is a dedicated and constant student of the mechanics of pitching.
A devotee of the Women’s College World Series, Julie attends annually and continues to build her archive of photographs
and video footage of some of world’s best pitchers, digitally capturing the commonalities in their mechanics which she
then uses as a teaching aid for her students. Julie Bolduc’s playing accomplishments have been unparalleled. Julie was a pioneer in womens
sports, in the era before today’s steller US Olympic Womens Team Sports and the subsequent high profile player endorsements.
In her home state of Connecticut, Julie blazed a trail for the female athletes who would follow in her, setting 3 national
pitching records while still in high school. As an undergrad at Adelphi University in Long Island, Julie consistently
broke records with the most wins, most shutouts, most strikeouts, most saves, most consecutive victories, lowest ERA, most
no-hitters, most perfect games, and most World Series appearances and victories. Here are some highlights from her playing
career: Julie was the first pitcher in NCAA history to throw a complete Perfect Game
in the College World Series against Utah State in 1984. In 1985, Julie led the nation in strikeouts (337). That same year, she earned the third-best ERA in the nation (a
miniscule 0.24!), and her pitching staff ended the season as second best in the nation (0.28).
Julie had
the fifth-best ERA in the nation, leading the Panthers to back-to-back fifth-place finishes in the NCAA Womens College World
Series in 1984 and 1985. Pitching for the world-famous Raybestos
Brakettes, Julie led them to victory in the 1984 World Cup Games. Throughout her career, Julie has received
many honors and awards: Honored by the State of Connecticut as Female Athlete of
the Year (1984). Inducted into the Connecticut Softball Hall of Fame (1990). Inducted into the
Adelphi University Hall of Fame (1996). A graduate of Adelphi University (1987), Julie holds a BS in Science, a Masters Degree in Social Work
and is a LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker). Julie currently resides in Long Island where, when she isn’t walking
her Labrador Retrievers, Chloe and Ruby, she loves to garden and fish.
