LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ross Goldschlag has been promoted to assistant coach/pitching of the Bellarmine University baseball team, head coach Ben Reel announced Friday.

Goldschlag was a student assistant at Bellarmine last season after being a relief pitcher for the Knights in 2024. He helped push BU in 2025 to Division I-era program records of 17 total wins and 11 Atlantic Sun Conference victories, including a four-game winning streak to end the season that was comprised of a 10-9 triumph over College World Series-bound Louisville and an ASUN sweep of Eastern Kentucky.

"We're excited to promote Ross Goldschlag to pitching coach here at Bellarmine," Reel said. "Ross has earned this opportunity through his work ethic, knowledge of the game and ability to connect with our players. His leadership and attention to detail will be a huge asset to our pitching staff, and we're confident he'll continue to elevate our program in this new role."

In 2024, Goldschlag was a graduate transfer at Bellarmine after spending his first four years at Sonoma State. The native of Encinitas, California, led the Knights in saves (four) and opposing batting average against (.209), ranked second in relief appearances (20), tied for second in strikeouts (31), was third in innings pitched (39.1) and was fourth in total appearances (20).

Goldschlag was an ASUN Roll recipient and member of the College Sports Communicators' Academic All-District Team.

As a junior at Sonoma State, Goldschlag built a 4-2 record while tying for the team lead in pitching appearances with 13 and ranking second in batting average against (.248) and WHIP (1.28). The right-hander tossed 2.0 innings or more in 10 appearances and logged 33.2 innings for the season.

"I am extremely excited to continue to serve our players and work to propel the program forward," Goldschlag said. "I'm very grateful to Coach Reel and the Bellarmine community for their continued support. Bellarmine is a storied and exceptional institution, and I am honored to have been welcomed into it as a player and continue to serve the community as a coach. I can't wait to get on the field and compete with our guys! Go Knights!"
