USAFA, Colo.- On Tuesday, Air Force baseball head coach Mike Kazlausky announced the addition of Tyler Dawson to the 2023 coaching staff. Dawson replaces Marc Mumper, who accepted a player development position with the Cleveland Guardians organization.
"I am so excited to be joining the coaching staff here at the Air Force Academy," said Dawson. "The guys here have committed to serving all of us at all costs, and getting the opportunity to serve them is one of the coolest things I may ever get to do."
Dawson, 28, was among the youngest head coaches in the country at Cleveland Community College where he led the Yetis baseball program the past two seasons. As well as serving as head coach, Dawson also was tasked with producing the strength and conditioning objectives of both the baseball and softball programs. His duties also included the development of hitters and infielders, recruiting, scheduling, and sports information responsibilities.
"I'm so thankful for Coach Kaz, Jimmy (Roesinger), and Ryan (Forrest) for bringing me into their family and giving me the opportunity to help grow these young men through the game of baseball," Dawson said.
At Cleveland Community College, Dawson played a large role in building the foundation of a start-up baseball program. In 2022, only the second year of the Yetis existence, Cleveland Community College finished second in the Region 10 DII Tournament, ending the spring with a 31-23 record.
Prior to his time in Shelby, N.C., Dawson was the Director of Operations for Big League Camp, a baseball and softball sports and lodging facility on Lake James, N.C. There, Dawson managed the schedule for the facility as well as teaching hitting, and speed and agility classes for high school and collegiate athletes.
Dawson worked as an assistant coach in the Coastal Plain Summer Collegiate League in the summer of 2019. With the Edenton Steamers, Dawson held the title of hitting coach while also assisting the development of the outfielders. Dawson also served as the head coach of Blacksburg (Va.) High School's baseball program in 2019.
From 2016-17, Dawson was a member of the softball coaching staff at Virginia Tech, primarily working as the program's strength and conditioning coach. His coaching stops include time spent with the Park City Rangers of the Kansas Collegiate League as well as Limestone University (S.C.).
Dawson graduated from Bridgewater College in 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science. At Bridgewater College, Dawson played both baseball and football for the Eagles. This summer, he completed his Master's Degree in Sports Administration with an emphasis in Kinesiology at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
A native of Amherst, Va., Dawson is certified as a strength and conditioning specialist by the NSCA, as well holding certificates from USA Weightlifting and USA Baseball.
