RADFORD, Va. – Radford University Director of Athletics Robert Lineburg announced today that Karl Kuhn, Radford University's head baseball coach, has resigned his position effective June 3, 2022.
 
Kuhn came to Radford in 2020 after 16 successful years as pitching coach at the University of Virginia. In his three seasons with the Highlanders his impact on the program was significant, including raising over $1.5 million through donations, installing a new state-of-the-art turf field and bullpen, launching new fan loyalty amenities such as a field level VIP Seating area and season ticket opportunities.

"I was honored to have the opportunity to implement programs and strategies at Radford that are in keeping with those found at schools with greater resources and solid records of achievement. Radford is comprised of many wonderful, dedicated people who are success oriented, and it is my hope it continues to thrive," said Kuhn.
 
According to Kuhn, he has accepted an opportunity to consult on an open-ended contract with a private entity. "This job demands that we spend so much time with other people's kids, and you realize that our own wives and kids don't receive near as much of the attention they deserve. Going forward, this is an opportunity to be part of baseball on a broader scale but also 'catch up' with my family," said Kuhn.

"COVID-19 has created significant complications for Division 1 athletics. Despite these challenges, Coach Kuhn has upgraded our facilities, added more than 200 donors to the program, secured an endowed baseball scholarship and spent significant time recruiting top players to our program," said Lineburg. "We look forward to seeing what these young and talented players are able to accomplish in future seasons and wish the coach well on his future endeavors."
