Tony Vitello's Tennessee baseball staff is undergoing significant changes as Josh Reynolds joins as a pitching coach and Ross Kivett returns as an assistant coach. Reynolds, who previously coached at Cincinnati, will work with pitchers and fill operational support roles, following the departure of Richard Jackson. Kivett's return reunites him with Vitello's original staff, having previously served as a volunteer assistant before coaching at Houston. His successful tenure at Houston included a marked improvement in the team's hitting statistics. The addition of Reynolds and Kivett aims to bolster the Vols' coaching capabilities as they prepare to defend their national title. This restructuring comes in light of recent NCAA changes allowing for an additional full-time coaching position.
