Ken Carlyle has been
hired as head baseball coach at Greensboro College, Athletics Director
Kim Strable announced.
Carlyle had served under
Scott Rash as an assistant coach since January, 2001. His duties: pitching
coach and recruiting coordinator for this year's GC team. Carlyle helped
Greensboro to a 19-16 record--a nine game improvement from the previous
season. His pitching staff reduced its earned run average by more than
one run from the '00 club.
Carlyle was a professional
baseball player in the Detroit Tiger and Atlanta Brave organizations from
1992 to 1999. He reached the Triple-A level, and was a Double-A All-Star
in 1994.
A business management graduate
of the University of Mississippi, Carlyle was the Rebels' all-time leader
in pitching victories. He previously coached at Brevard Community College
(1997-98). Prior to arriving at Greensboro College, Carlyle was employed
as a merchandise manager with the Amateur Athletic Union in Lake Buena
Vista, Fla.
"Sometimes the best candidate
for a job is already on staff," said Strable. "Ken Carlyle has an impressive
baseball resume and knows our program. He has support from the current
baseball student athletes and the GC community. More importantly, he has
the skills to lead Greensboro College baseball into the future."
Carlyle replaces Scott Rash,
who resigned his post to become assistant director of development at Randolph
Macon (Va.) College, his alma mater. Rash started the Greensboro College
baseball program in 1993. He closed his nine year career with a 170-165-4
record (.507 winning percentage). His victory total included five consecutive
20-win seasons. Rash led The Pride to the Dixie Conference championship
and the NCAA Tournament in 1998.
