Joining the baseball staff for the 2018 season as the volunteer assistant coach is Gene Bowles, a 2009 graduate of the University of Maryland. Bowles has made several stops at the high school and collegiate levels as a coach, plus spent a summer pitching in an independent league.

Bowles most recently served as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator for Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. During the summer of 2017, he assembled the roster of the Omaha Blue Bombers in the Corn Belt Summer Collegiate League as the team’s head coach and guided them to the best record in the league at 19-11-2.

Prior to his work in the Great Plains, Bowles had worked exclusively on the East Coast, including the fall of 2016 at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia, and two seasons at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Maryland, as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. The Owls improved by 14 wins and advanced to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) D3 Regional finals in his first season, then won the regional and district championships to advance to the NJCAA D3 World Series in the spring of 2017. Two of his players earned All-America honors and three pitchers went on to the NCAA Division I level.

Bowles spent four years as the head coach at Annapolis (Md.) High School and for the Annapolis Post 7 American Legion team, not to mention a summer coaching Maryland Arsenal, an 18U select team operating out of the town of Pasadena. He also helped two players play at NCAA Division I programs and coached 2012 MLB Draft pitck Max Unger as the pitching coach of the Diamond Pros 17U team out of Baltimore. He began his coaching career as a pitching coach at St. Mary’s High School in Annapolis in 2010.

In the summer of 2010, Bowles took the mound for the New York Empires in the independent New York State League, posting a 3-2 record and 4.43 ERA in 30 innings of work.

Bowles is expecting to complete his master’s degree in athletic administration with a concentration in intercollegiate athletics from Western Kentucky in May of 2018.
