Belmont Baseball head coach Dave Jarvis announced Tuesday, June 15 the hire of Nick Bredeson as a volunteer assistant coach on the Bruin staff.

Bredeson comes to Nashville after spending the past eight years at Ohio University, both as an assistant coach and student-athlete.

"We are extremely excited to have Nick as a part of our coaching staff," Jarvis said.

His understanding of the game and perspective as a player and coach will benefit our players."
