Nick Yarnall
- Title:
- Student Assistant Coach
Nick Yarnall was named student assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh in August of 2020 by head coach Mike Bell. Yarnall will assist assistant coach Ty Megahee with the outfielders and first basemen.
“As we always say, ‘Once a Panther, always a Panther.’” said Bell. “It’s great to have Nick back finishing what he started here at Pitt. Just another example of our commitment to excellence and providing opportunity for our student-athletes.”
Yarnall returns to his alma mater after playing for the Panthers from 2014-16. A two-year starting outfielder, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 35th round. In his junior campaign, he earned All-ACC Third Team honors after leading the team in homers (11) along with a .556 slugging percentage, .439 on-base percentage and 39 RBI’s.
Playing in the minors for the last four years in the Dodgers’ organization, Yarnall made it up to the Single-A Advanced level in 2018 and 2019. He registered a 1.077 OPS, six homers and 25 RBI’s in 25 games in 2017 with the Ogden Raptors to earn a promotion to Single-A. He finished with a .255 batting average, .446 slugging percentage, 31 homers and 121 RBI’s in his pro career.
