He helped guide SMC to 58 victories over the last three years. The 2024 season will mark his second with the Buccaneers baseball program.

Four of Saint Mary's former players were featured during the most recent Major League Baseball All-Star week, including reigning National Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes of the Milwaukee Brewers. Joining him as an all-star selection were Los Angeles Dodgers hurler Tony Gonsolin. Ky Bush was one of Twohig's recruits and a player representing the American League during the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. Most recently, three of Twohig's recruits were drafted in the 2022 MLB Draft: Christopher Campos (SS, 7th round, Los Angeles Dodgers); Sam Bower (RHP; 11th round; San Francisco Giants) and Chris Santiago (RHP/3B; 18th round; New York Mets).

After his collegiate playing days concluded, Twohig immediately joined the coaching ranks at Feather River College (Quincy, Calif.) for a two-year run in 2003-04 before joining Saint Mary's for the first time as a volunteer assistant from 2004-06. He became the NorCal Baseball Club head coach from 2006-10 then made the jump to Major League Baseball as an associate scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2007-08.

His journey continued with a second head coaching stop, leading the way at Ohlone College (Fremont, Calif.) from 2008-10, where he compiled a 94-43 record, capturing the state title in his final campaign, the first for any sport in school history, and adding a Super Regional championship and two regional crowns in the process. In 2009 he was named the Coast Conference Coach of the Year after guiding the Renegades to their first league championship in 18 years.

He made the leap back to NCAA Division I in 2010 when he joined the University of Washington staff, assisting with the Huskies' recruiting and academic efforts. Seven players in a Top-30 recruiting class signed in 2011 were selected in the 2014 MLB Draft.

After his time in Seattle concluded, Twohig moved back to California to assume the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator position at Cal State Northridge from 2014-19. He played a pivotal role in leading the Matadors to the program's highest conference finish in 17 years and recruited national Top 30 and Top 40 ranked signing classes. He also assisted in fundraising for a new $2.5 million stadium. His players consistently ranked among the Big West leaders in several offensive categories, including home runs, doubles, triples, RBI, hits, walks and slugging percentage.

"I am excited to join this amazing community that is Charleston Southern University and I'd like to thank Coach MacMillan for this tremendous opportunity to help build a championship baseball program. I am humbled by the kindness he and his wife Andrea have shown my family already," noted Twohig. "I'd also like to thank Director of Athletics, Jeff Barber, for his belief and confidence in my ability to help teach and mentor young men. I am looking forward to recruiting players and their families to Charleston Southern University; this is a special place."

Twohig played collegiately at Feather River College as well as at York College of Nebraska as an outfielder and left-handed pitcher. At York, he was voted to the all-conference squad and served as a team captain during his two years (2002 and 2003). As a senior, he posted a .363 batting average to go along with seven home runs and 61 RBI. He was a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2002 with a 4.0 GPA.

Twohig earned his bachelor's degree with honors in 2003 with an emphasis in secondary and physical education. He then added a master's degree in 2004 from the United States Sports Academy in sport management.
