With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of coach Jeff Trundy on Friday, Dec. 20, 2024. Coach Trundy was the head coach and heartbeat of the Falmouth Commodores for over 26 years. He left a 30-year legacy of greatness in the Cape Cod Baseball League and with the Falmouth Commodores.
Baseball and coaching were in coach Trundy’s blood. He was captain of the University of New Hampshire baseball team before moving on to earn his master’s degree from the University of Colorado. It was in Colorado that Jeff spent some time as an assistant coach. He received the Mike Curran Award naming him Coach of the Year for the Cape League in 2004, 2016 and 2019.
In the off-season, Jeff was the head baseball coach at Frederick Gunn School, a prep school in Washington, Conn. In addition to coaching, he had also served as a part-time scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Coach Trundy was inducted into the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame in July 2013 and the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2024.
Known throughout the league and beyond as “Gentlemen Jeff’, coach Trundy left an indelible mark on everyone he interacted with. He not only coached the young men who had the privilege of playing under his leadership but also took a personal interest in their lives, mentoring them to play with integrity.
Our hearts go out to Patti, Jeff’s wife, and the entire Trundy family, friends, former players, and many others whose lives coach Trundy touched along the way.
Rest in peace, coach Trundy! #WinItForTrundy
