Ben Bachmann begins his fourth season at Miami after spending the previous five seasons as the pitching coach at the University of Maryland where he helped the pitching staff set numerous school records.
Serving as Miami's recruiting coordinator and pitching coach, Bachmann has worked with 18 pitchers and 35 players overall that have been drafted or signed free agent contracts with major league organizations. That list includes 2007 First-Team All-MAC selection and third-round draft pick John Ely and 2007 fifth-round selection Connor Graham. His last two recruiting classes have ranked among the top classes in collegiate baseball.
At Maryland in 2003, he mentored Steve Schmoll, currently pitching with the New York Mets, as the righthander became the school's all-time and single-season strikeout leader. In 2002, Maryland hurlers established school records for strikeouts (451) and saves (10).
Prior to his time at Maryland, Bachmann was part of the coach staff at Lynn University for two seasons where he helped the pitching staff to a school-record 379 strikeouts in 1999.
He graduated from Lewis University in 1997 with a degree in business administration after being an All-American at Kankakee Community College in Illinois. He earned his master's degree in business/athletic administration from Lynn University in 2001.
Bachmann and his wife, Jane, reside in Oxford, with their daughter, Abigail (2), and son, Braden (4 months).
