SANFORD, Maine — The Sanford Mainers announced this week that Nic Lops will return as manager for his fifth season. 2025 will be Lops’ sixth season overall with the organization after serving as hitting coach for one year.

Returning alongside Lops are assistant coaches Tim Moreau (third season), and Josh Guptel (second season). The Mainers are also thrilled to welcome Kobie Carter to this upcoming season's coaching staff.

Nic Lops was named the 2024 Joel Cooney Manager of the Year, voted on by fellow managers of the NECBL. Lops was given the honor after guiding the Mainers to the 2024 NECBL championship series. It is the second time he has been awarded the honor.

Lops will return to Sanford this summer after the conclusion of the season for St. Joseph's College of Maine where he has taken on the role of director of player development for his alma mater.

“I’m stoked to be back,” said Lops. “I look forward to welcoming in a new group of Moose for the 2025 summer; it will be nice to have a handful of returners back with us this summer as well. I expect this group will buy into what it means to play baseball for the Sanford Mainers.”

Moreau will return to Sanford after he spends the spring season with Colby-Sawyer College, serving as the associate head coach for the Chargers. Moreau plays an integral part day in and day out with the team, primarily working with the Mainers infielders and outfielders.
