Medlin Joins MAC Athletics As New Softball Coach

(Park Hills) The Mineral Area College softball program will be led by only the second coach in program history after Dave Guemmer resigned following last season. Ryan Medlin will take over after serving as the head coach for Cape Central, Twin Rivers, and an assistant at Lindenwood-Belleville..

Medlin says his first order of business is to settle the waters…

Medlin says he wants his players to play loose…

Despite taking over a program that went only 12-33 last year, Medlin thinks that the talent is on campus to produce a winner. He says Katie Davis and Chloe Coppedge are a couple of players he’ll look to help lead…

In fairness, MAC is a Division Two program that plays several Division One programs, which makes a winning record difficult to achieve.
Medlin says he’s seeing a shift in softball from being pitching dominant to becoming offensive minded…

Even so, he’ll concentrate on stopping run production from opponents…

The Cardinals main schedule occurs in the spring, but they will play some fall ball as well starting in September.
