Szymanski, however, is best known for his success in baseball. He will enter the 2027 season with a 715-496-9 record in 27 seasons at Chesapeake and 733-567-9 mark in 30 seasons as a collegiate head coach. That record includes 17 winning seasons in the last 18 years – each featuring at least 25 victories. More important than the victories, according to Szymanski, is the program's ability to assist players in reaching their potential.

Throughout his career at Chesapeake, the baseball team has had 14 players reach the professional level, with one former player currently umpiring in the MLB.

During this time, there have been a number of All Americans.

• Baseball – 7
• Softball – 1
• Men’s Basketball – 3
• Women’s Basketball – 8

There have also been an impressive number of NJCAA Academic All-Americans throughout all sports.

• Baseball – 43
• Softball – 17
• Men’s Basketball – 9
• Women’s Basketball – 7
• Men’s Soccer – 6
• Women’s Volleyball – 7
