OXFORD, Ohio – Miami University head baseball coach Danny Hayden announced Tuesday that assistant coach Matt Davis will be leaving the program after spending the past five seasons as its pitching coach. Davis has accepted a scouting position with the Boston Red Sox.
"I am very grateful for Coach Davis's time, effort and energy in guiding our pitching staff the last five years," said Hayden. "He has helped our program take big steps forward and he will be missed. I am excited for him and his family as he starts a new opportunity with the Red Sox."
Miami's pitchers have shown improvement each season under Davis' tutelage. In 2018, the RedHawks recorded a team ERA of 4.34 as part of a 35-20 campaign and second place finish in the Mid-American Conference. Gus Graham was named First-Team All-MAC with a 7-1 record and a 3.24 ERA in 83.1 innings. Andy Almquist was named Second-Team All-MAC as a reliever after appearing in 11 conference games with a minuscule 0.90 ERA.
In addition RedHawk pitchers Zach Spears and Nick Ernst were selected in the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft. It was the first time Miami had two pitchers selected in the same season since 2014 when Davis saw both Seth Varner and Ryan Powers drafted after strong campaigns (Powers would return for 2015 season).
