People seem to think he's a pretty solid coach. Hope it works out.

I didn’t realize Matt had been at Bama previously: LINK

Brett Hudson had a conversation with Matt Reida, the Alabama baseball volunteer assistant now taking over as an assistant coach at Pitt. Hudson and Reida discussed being a volunteer assistant and his new job at Pitt, plus what it’s like to play and work for Brad Bohannon, the 2020 season that could have been and his own playing career.

Hope this isn't just a "guy I know" hire, because it needs to be a good one

As long as we lead the conference in HRs and with the fewest Ks I will be satisfied

A snippet from the Tuscaloosa News

quote:

Reida worked with the Crimson Tide from 2018-20 before being hired as an offensive coach and recruiter at Pittsburgh.

In 2021, the Pittsburgh offense averaged 5.3 runs per game with 42 home runs on its way to a 23-20 record.

Head coach Brad Bohannon has a long-standing relationship with Reida, who played under him at Kentucky from 2011-14.

SI

Alabama Baseball Expected to Name Matt Reida as Assistant Coach

Reida served as an assistant coach for Pitt during the 2021 season and as a volunteer assistant for the Crimson Tide in 2019-2020

Not going to act like I know a lot about assistant college baseball coaches, but this feels a tad underwhelming.

Andy Cannizzaro would have been interesting.

Thought that NC State bunch looked impressive when they whipped us. Appears they truly were.

Arkansas pulled a Bama and used up all of their runs on the first day.

NC State managed to somehow beat Arkansas with their pitching today. The slept-walked through the regional using their offense.

And how about Kopps throwing 13 innings in the regional and another 9 in the supers… I feel like anybody on our pitching staff would have needed a new arm after the regional.

Looks like MSU is going to have to win tomorrow to get three SEC teams into the CWS.

That MSU/ND game tomorrow is going to be a wild one.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if MSU loses. I’m really not a big fan of Lemonis for no particular reason. Maybe because he’s fat. But their implosion in Hoover followed by an exit to ND in the supers should be a little bit concerning if you’re an MSU fan. There’s no reason to lose this series at home in that environment. We’ll see what happens.

Also, what’s brewing in Florida and can we poach any of these guys? 8 players entering the transfer portal?

I guess this makes it official:

Matt Reida Returns to Alabama Baseball Staff as Assistant Coach

quote:

"It was an easy decision for me to bring Matt back to our staff at Alabama, especially after he did such a great job during his previous time here," said Bohannon. "Having played for me at Kentucky and working with us for two years at Alabama, Matt is familiar with exactly how I want our team to be coached. He has also always had a really good connection with our players. His recruiting ties in the Midwest and Northeast will supplement our Southeast recruiting base and will allow us to capitalize on the Alabama national brand."

it appears UF is cleaning out dead weight. Not sure why Bama would want any of those guys.

At some point Bo is going to have to stop the best HS players from Bama from going to other schools. Miss State got a couple and LSU got the 7A player of the year (pitcher).

Shouldn’t we have about 5-6 guys in the portal then?

Kills me to say it but it is hard to compete with the atmosphere at MSU

The University usually posts an article indicating where the players will be in the summer leagues. Haven’t seen it yet but it looks like Hamiter is already playing.
