Dr. David T. Borowicz, LTC(R)

LTC(R) Dr. Dave Borowicz has served as an athletic intern with the baseball program following his graduation from the United States Military Academy during the spring of 1992 and assisting the Black Knights during the 2003 and 2004 campaigns.

After leaving West Point following the 2004 baseball season, he spent a year at Fort Leavenworth, KS. From there, he was assigned to the 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, where he served as the Brigade Engineer (2005-06) and the Battalion Executive Officer of 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion (2006-07). While there, ​LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz spent 15 months serving in Iraq as part of the surge for Operation Iraqi Freedom. His unit was awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for its performance while deployed and was influential in the Sunni-Awakening south of Baghdad.

After returning from Iraq, LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz and his family moved to Madison, Wis., and he pursued a doctorate in civil and environmental engineering. He received his Ph.D. in December of 2010 in civil and environmental engineering and arrived back at West Point in January to teach in the Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering. After coaching from 2011-13 and helping guide the team to back-to-back NCAA regional appearances in 2012 and 2013, LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. There he used his skills as a professional engineer to construct and develop sustainable infrastructure for the Afghan people.

LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz has been presented with several military awards, including the Bronze Star Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (4 awards), Army Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal, Army Achievement Medal (3 awards), National Defense Service Medal (2 awards), Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal, Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon (2 awards), NATO ISAF Medal, Air Assault Badge, and the Combat Action Badge.

A four-time letter-winner during his years in the “Black, Gold, and Gray,” LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz was a standout pitcher for the Black Knights, holding a regular turn in the Army’s starting rotation for three consecutive years. A district Academic All-America selection and Rhodes Scholar candidate as a senior, the former captain was a member of Army teams that defeated arch-rival Navy in four consecutive “star” match-ups.

LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz will forever be etched into the Army record books having been credited with a save against Long Island as a freshman in 1989, helping to secure the program’s 1,000th all-time victory. Three years later, he narrowly missed writing a bit more history when his bid to throw the fourth no-hitter in school history fell just short, settling for a one-hit defeat of Princeton. The Milwaukee native ranks 25th on Army’s career innings pitched list at 157.0, while his career earned run average mark of 4.47 lists among the Black Knights' all-time leaders.

LTC(R) Dr. Borowicz assists in the instruction of the Army’s pitchers and outfielders. He and his wife, Cindy, reside at West Point with their daughters, Maggie and Allison; and son, Josh.
