Kyle Schroeder just concluded his second season as the director of program development for Cincinnati Baseball. He joined the Bearcats prior to the 2024 season after a four-year stint as an assistant coach at Central Michigan.
Schroeder is considered one of the top catching instructors in college baseball, having worked with college catchers for over 16 years. In just the last six seasons he has mentored four catchers who are now playing professional baseball, including former Bearcat and 2024 MLB Draft selection Josh Kross.
UC ended the 2025 season with a 33-26 overall record and earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament, the seventh tournament trip in program history and the first at-large berth since 1974. The Bearcats were the No. 3 seed in the Knoxville Regional and won their opening game against No. 2 seed Wake Forest, 11-6.
Cincinnati reached the 30-win plateau for the second straight season, the first time the program had won at least 30 games in consecutive seasons since doing it three straight years from 1999-2001. UC also captured six ranked wins, the most in a season in school history.
Schroeder helped mold Jack Natili into a Second Team All-Big 12 performer. Natili hit .338 with nine home runs, 53 RBI, 14 doubles, and a .451 on-base percentage.
During his first season with the Bearcats in 2024, the team posted a 32-25 overall record and a 17-13 mark in conference play, the program’s first 30-win season since 2019. UC finished the regular season in fifth place in the Big 12 after being picked to finish in last in the preseason coaches poll.
The Bearcats claimed six series wins in conference play including series vs. TCU, West Virginia, and UCF, and also posted an 18-8 record at home.
Prior to his time at UC, Schroeder played a major role in helping lead CMU to four Mid-American Conference championships -- two regular season and two tournament -- and three NCAA Tournament berths.
He previously served under Bischel for four years at Northwood University, where they combined to lead the program to unprecedented success, capped by back-to-back Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season and tournament championships in 2017 and 2018.
Prior to his four years at Northwood, Schroeder served as an assistant under Bischel at Midland University in 2013-14. Together, they led Midland to a league championship and an appearance in the NAIA National Tournament.
Schroeder began his coaching career as an assistant in 2008 at Luther College, worked as a graduate assistant at Northwest Missouri State and served as an assistant with the Green Bay Bullfrogs of the Northwoods League.
As a player at Luther from 2004 to 2007, Schroeder led the Norse to Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season and tournament championships during his senior year. He was named the 2007 IIAC Most Valuable Player and remains the program leader in several offensive categories, including career home runs (30) and career RBI (172).
Schroeder earned a bachelor's degree from Luther and a master's from Northwest Missouri State.
