Mitch Roberts joined The University of Tulsa softball program in July 2019 as an assistant coach. Roberts mentors the Golden Hurricane pitching staff.
Roberts comes to TU after serving the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Ball State, where he mentored the Cardinals infielders and helped lead the program to 71 wins. The 2018 squad won the Mid-American Conference West Division, while his infielders earned a pair of first-team all-conference nods and an NFCA All-Region certificate during his time with the program.
Additionally, a total of 17 Cardinals student-athletes were tabbed as Academic All-MAC selections while on the coaching staff.
In 2019, the Cardinals registered 34 wins and Roberts mentored third baseman Stacy Payton, who was an NFCA All-Region and first-team All-MAC selection. She reached base in all 20 MAC contests and set single-game records for homers (3) and RBIs (8). In 2018, second baseman Maddy Labrador was a first-team all-conference pick and she produced a then-single-game RBI record with seven in a contest during the campaign.
The 2018 squad’s 37 wins were the fourth-most in program history and the Cardinals won the MAC West Division crown and No. 2 seed in the league tournament.
Prior to his arrival in Muncie, Ind., Roberts was a graduate assistant at Washington during the 2017 season. Roberts assisted the Huskies pitching staff, including NFCA All-Region and first-team All-Pac 12 pick Taran Alvelo, as UW rolled to a 50-14 record and the 12th Women’s College World Series appearance in program history.
Along with his duties at Washington, Roberts was an assistant coach for the Team Seattle U14 travel squad and developed five pitchers who would go on to play at the Division I level. He managed all facets of the pitching staff, including in-game pitch calling, bullpens and mental skill development.
Roberts played collegiate baseball at Milwaukee Area Technical College (2013-14) and St. Ambrose University (2014-16) before his coaching career. He graduated from St. Ambrose in 2016 with a degree in business management and a minor in leadership.
