Kyle Hunt

Kyle Hunt joined Rob DiToma's staff on the Hilltop in the fall of 2022 after a successful three seasons under T.J. Bruce as the University of Nevada.

Originally hired as the volunteer assistant coach for the Wolfpack, Hunt served as the team's third base coach during his stint in Reno. In 2021, Hunt helped the Wolf Pack capture their third Mountain West regular season championship and their first since the 2018 season. Due to the conference tournament not being held in 2021, the Wolf Pack also earned the league's automatic bid to NCAA Regionals, the program's first trip to regionals since 2000 and its fifth trip overall in program history.

As a player, Hunt played for the Pack from 2012-15 and posted a career batting average of .244 with 203 starts, 37 doubles, eight homers and 86 RBI. Hunt was part of the Pack's first ever Mountain West regular season championship in 2015 where he had a career-best fielding percentage of .971 and batted .261 with 27 RBI. Following his playing career, Hunt served as an undergrad assistant in 2016 before being elevated to Director of Player Development and On-Campus Recruiting in 2017. Before returning to Nevada, Hunt spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Irvine Valley Community College, where he coached the infielders.

DiToma on Hunt: "As I began the search for my staff, one name that kept being recommended to me repeatedly by coaches who I respect, was Kyle Hunt. Kyle grew up in Southern California and brings an extensive knowledge to our program from his playing and coaching career. Kyle was in charge of the offensive side of the ball at the University of Nevada and will bring excitement and energy to our program. His knowledge of the west coast will also be extremely valuable in the recruiting process for us.
