CORAL GABLES, Fla. — University of Miami head coach J.D. Arteaga announced the elevation of Jonathan Anderson to assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the upcoming 2024 season.
“Jonathan bleeds orange and green,” Arteaga said. “He grew up at our ballpark and is as big a fan of the Hurricane baseball program as anyone. Even though he didn’t play here, Jonathan understands our storied history and knows what a Miami Hurricane looks like on the field, in the classroom and in the community. His love and passion for our program will help us get back to Omaha.”
Anderson joined the Hurricanes prior to the 2020 campaign, serving as the director of player development.
In his prior role, he helped with a variety of duties including coordinating video, baseball analytics and recruiting.
The Miami native returned home after 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Dartmouth, including the final seven years as the lead assistant for the Big Green. Over his decade at Dartmouth, Anderson served as the third-base coach, worked with the outfielders and oversaw the hitters and recruiting.
“I am very excited and cannot thank J.D. enough for this incredible opportunity,” Anderson said. “The University of Miami baseball program has had an enormous impact on my life since I was seven years old thanks to Coach Fraser, Coach Morris and all of players that I have had the chance to get to know and form special relationships with since 1992.
“Coming back here four years ago, I fulfilled a lifelong dream to be a Hurricane and I have enjoyed every day at Miami being a part of this program. I have so much respect for the rich tradition and history of our program, our great fans, all the great players of the past — many of whom treated me so well as a kid — along with our current and future student-athletes, that this program will always deserve to get my very best.”
