The University of Tennessee announced that assistant coach Josh Reynolds will not return for the upcoming season, marking the end of a two‑year stint that began with his promotion in November 2025.
A Season of Achievement
Reynolds had been tasked with overseeing the Volunteers' pitching staff, a role he assumed after a distinguished playing career and several years in coaching.
During the 2026 campaign, the Vols posted a team earned run average of 4.72, the best mark recorded since the early 2010s, underscoring the impact of Reynolds' guidance on the mound.
Looking Forward
Athletic director Danny White emphasized the desire to build on the recent success while exploring innovative strategies to elevate the program further. The recruitment process will consider both internal candidates and external prospects with proven track records in collegiate baseball.
Fans and alumni will watch closely as the Volunteers aim to maintain their upward trajectory, hoping the next coach can replicate — or even surpass — the ERA achievements of the previous season.
