Brian August begins his 18th year as head coach of the Wildcats in 2022. A graduate of the University of Delaware, where he was a standout baseball player, August was the assistant baseball coach, assistant athletic director, and building and grounds supervisor at Cecil County Community College prior to coming to Wilmington University.

In 2019, he led a resurgent Wilmington team to a 40-18 overall record, their most wins since the 2013 season. They won the CACC Tournament for the second year in a row, now totaling eight CACC Tournament Championships since 2007. The team advanced to the NCAA East Region 1 Tournament, coming back to play in the Championship round against NYIT.

The Wildcats became the first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference baseball team to ever win the NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament and advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships in 2015. August led the Wildcats to a 37-15 overall record in 2015, beating 20th ranked Southern New Hampshire, Stonehill, No. 1/3 Franklin Pierce, and St. Thomas Aquinas to capture their first ever regional championship.
