This 2025 season, Brewer High School’s Varsity Baseball team will have the privilege of welcoming two new coaches. Art Senato and Justin Ray will lead the team to many victories and take a swing for the state championship!
“I have loved being a part of the Brewer community,” Ray said. “It has been a blessing in disguise.”
Head coach Senato has a history of baseball, having grown up playing the sport and previously coaching it at a different school before his transfer, he undoubtedly has the knowledge needed for this sport.
“Before transferring to Brewer, I was the head baseball coach at Burleson Centennial High School,” Senato said.
While Ray attended Colorado Christian University, obtaining a Bachelor’s in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing, Senato opted for a college education here in the great state of Texas.
“I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology,” Senato said.
Even though their spirit is what makes them a home run, Brewer is lucky to be working with these coaches, as they all have quite impressive track records regarding their coaching history and their wonderful teams.
“I’ve been a high school coach for 28 years. I have 530 career wins and one state championship,” Senato said. “I’ve coached in professional baseball and served as an associate scout for the Seattle Mariners. I have also coached USA Baseball.”
Ray, just as similar to Senato, has a highly accomplished history regarding his baseball career.
“I have coached baseball for 14 years, owned my select baseball organization for seven years based out of Ellis County and have four years of coaching experience at the collegiate level,” Ray said. “I won a Junior College World Series in 2011 for Eastfield College. I am currently the South Regional Director for EXACT SPORTS, where I travel around the country hosting collegiate baseball showcases for high school athletes.”
Each and every coach has a different coaching style and quality to bring to the field, like Ray’s collegiate experience.
“I will bring experience and a winning culture to Brewer High School’s baseball team,” Senato said.
These new Brewer High School coaches know what they’re hitting for this season, and they know it takes focusing on the process to get there.
“Our goal is to make the playoffs and make a run for the State Championship,” Ray said.
Being a coach teaches someone a lot about what it takes to be successful, a good player and most importantly, an even better person.
“There are two kinds of people,” Senato said. “Those that are humble and those that are about to be.”
Brewer’s baseball coaches both had a coach of their own who inspired them to follow the same path. Senato and Ray hope they can light the same passion in one of their players.
“Players are students of the game,” Ray said. “It is their job to pass down the knowledge they’ve gained in their baseball career to others that are coming up.”
Brewer’s baseball team is sure to knock this season out of the park with the latest and greatest of our coaches. With the guidance and wisdom passed down from years of experience, it’ll be one good year.
