“I am very honored to join the baseball staff at Charleston Southern University,” Kuhn said. “I would like to thank Dr. Dondi Costin, Jeff Barber and Marc MacMillan for this opportunity. Jeff and Marc have both spent significant time at Power 5 institutions, and after so many great years at the University of Virginia, it is refreshing to reunite with leaders that have done it at the highest level. I am excited to assist in bringing another Big South baseball championship to Charleston Southern.”
Prior to joining the Highlanders, Kuhn was in charge of the pitching staff at ACC member Virginia for 16 seasons, beginning in 2004. His hurlers led the Cavaliers to 671 wins, an average of over 41 victories per year, and the unit was ranked among the Top 20 teams nationally in ERA during nine of his final-15 seasons, including the top spot in 2011 and No. 2 listing in 2014. The lowest ERA in the school’s last-40 years came during that 2014 campaign. Overall, the pitchers combined for a top-three national ERA ranking in four other seasons (2005, 2006, 2007, 2009) in addition to a No. 2 national ranking in 2018 with 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings.
He was a member of the Virginia program which advanced to its first College World Series in 2009 before returning to Omaha and claiming the 2015 national championship, the first in school history. He was selected as the 2014 Collegiate Baseball National Pitching Coach of the Year. The Cavaliers won 437 games during his final-10 years, reaching the College World Series four times (2009, 2011, 2014, 2015), winning five NCAA Regional titles, one ACC Tournament crown and one ACC Coastal Division championship during his tenure in Charlottesville. UVA won at least 50 games four times during the 2010s decade, climbing to as high as No. 1 in the national polls each of those years.
