A well-respected figure around the game, Wheeler has been recognized by his peers as the top recruiting coordinator in the Atlantic 10 in a survey conducted by D1Baseball.com. The Hawks have appeared in two Atlantic 10 postseasons during his time in the Crimson and Gray, winning 20 games or more in each of his full seasons at SJU.
While working with the Hawk hitters, Wheeler has helped guide a number of players to success, including 2017 MLB fifth-round draft pick Deon Stafford, Jr., who set a single-season program record with 18 home runs on the way to Atlantic 10 Player of the Year honors in 2016, and current Hawk backstop Andrew Cossetti, whose 16 home runs in 2021 rank second on the all-time single-season list.
Before coming to Hawk Hill, Wheeler spent the previous three seasons as the head coach at Temple. Prior to his stint with the Owls, he spent five years as an assistant in the Atlantic 10 with the University of Richmond.
