PEORIA, IL – Former Bradley Baseball volunteer assistant coach Kyle Trewyn is returning to the Braves as a full-time assistant, according to an announcement from head coach Elvis Dominguez Friday.

Trewyn served as Bradley's volunteer assistant for two seasons from 2012-14 and returns to Bradley from Quincy University, where he worked as a full-time assistant the last two seasons. Trewyn replaces Sean Lyons, who was named the head coach at SIU Edwardsville last month.

"We are very excited to have Kyle Trewyn as our new assistant coach at Bradley University," said Dominguez. "He will bring tremendous passion and energy to our program. His impressive recruiting, hitting background and familiarity with our program will give our players an easy transition going forward.

"He is a rising star in our profession and I am really looking forward to working with Kyle again," Dominguez added.

In his two years at Quincy, Trewyn served as the hitting coach, catching instructor, infield instructor and first base coach. The 2016 Hawks set program records for batting average (.334), home runs (89), doubles (124), RBI's (483) and runs scored (517) while compiling a 39-18 overall record and repeating as the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional. In Trewyn's two seasons with the Hawks, Quincy also won the 2015 Great Lakes Valley Conference Western Division championship and produced two NCAA Gold Glove winners and 17 All-GLVC players, including 2016 GLVC Player of the Year Ryan Snyder.

Snyder is one of two players to enjoy historically significant offensive seasons with Trewyn on the staff. In 2016, Snyder broke Quincy's single-season school records for hits (92), home runs (23) and RBI's (88) to win the GLVC triple crown, while earning both All-America and Academic All-America honors. During Trewyn's first season at Bradley in 2013, outfielder Mike Tauchman led the nation in batting to earn the Joe Carter MVC Player-of-the-Year award and consensus All-America honors.

Prior to his previous stint at Bradley, Trewyn worked as an assistant coach at Minnesota-Duluth (2011-12) and his alma mater, Cardinal Stritch (2010-11). He also was the head coach of the 2012 Sheboygan A's in the Wisconsin State League, a summer collegiate baseball league.
