Kaleb Schmidt joins the Coastal Alabama South Baseball program as new Assistant Coach and Pitching Coach for the Coyotes ahead of the 2026 season.
Schmidt brings a wealth of experience to the role, both as a professional pitcher and as a highly regarded instructor and collegiate coach. Most recently, Schmidt served as the Assistant and Pitching Coach at Lee University (Tenn.), where he played a key role in developing a standout pitching staff that included a Conference Pitcher of the Year, two All-Region selections, and an All-American.
A former collegiate standout himself, Schmidt pitched for both the University of Central Arkansas and Drury University (Mo.), where he was a team captain and known for his leadership on and off the field. His professional playing career includes time in the Frontier League and the Pioneer League, including international stints in Canada.
In addition to his playing and coaching credentials, Schmidt has extensive experience as a private pitching instructor, youth development leader, and pitching coordinator. His coaching approach blends data-driven tools like Trackman, Rapsodo, and high-speed motion capture with individualized development programs focused on mechanical efficiency, recovery, and competitive mindset.
Schmidt will work exclusively with the pitching staff of Coastal Alabama South Baseball in 2026 under the direction of head coach JD Pruitt.
