After three decades of shaping young athletes on the diamond, Jim Beauregard, a fixture of Massachusetts high school baseball, has announced his retirement, citing family timing and a desire to step away while the current freshmen become seniors.
A career etched in mentorship
Beauregard spent his final six years as the head coach at North Middlesex Regional, a role that capped a 32‑year journey that began with 17 seasons at St. Bernard’s. In that time he also served as athletic director, overseeing programs that extended beyond the baseball field and influencing countless student‑athletes.
Family ties keep the game alive
His son, Keith Beauregard, has carved out a professional niche as a hitting coach for the Minnesota Twins, a connection that underscores the sport’s generational reach in the Beauregard family. The elder coach expressed pride in his son’s achievements while acknowledging the bittersweet timing of his own departure.
Looking toward the future
Reflecting on his love for the game, Beauregard thanked the many supporters who helped him along the way, from players and colleagues to community members. He indicated that the decision to retire felt right, especially as he approaches his 78th birthday and watches the current freshmen class prepare to graduate.
