Former Major League Baseball star Chris Bosio joined the Lawrence University coaching staff in the summer of 2006 and continues to be a special assistant for the Vikings.
A veteran of 11 seasons in the big leagues, Bosio is now the pitching coach for the Chattanooga Lookouts, a AA affilate of the Cincinnati Reds.
Bosio compiled a 94-93 career record with a 3.96 ERA in the big leagues. He struck out 1,059 and walked only 481 during his career. Bosio had five seasons in which he won 10 or more games, including going 16-6 with the Brewers in 1992. After that season, his seventh in Milwaukee, he left for Seattle via free agency.
Bosio had one of the finest moments of his career during his first season with the Mariners. He tossed a no-hitter on April 22, 1993, in a 7-0 win over the Boston Red Sox. He walked the first two batters and then retired the next 27.
Since retiring after the 1996 season, Bosio has been involved in coaching. He spent the 2003 season as the pitching coach with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and had logged three seasons as a pitching coach in the Mariners organization before that.
A native of Carmichael, Calif., Bosio went to Cordova Senior High School and played for legendary coach Guy Anderson. Bosio lives in the Fox Cities with his wife, Suzanne, and their two children.
