Kyle Norman Joins Spider Baseball Coaching Staff
08/01/2025 | Baseball
RICHMOND – Richmond baseball Head Coach Mik Aoki has announced the hiring of Kyle Norman as the program's new Assistant Coach.
Norman heads to Pitt Field from his alma mater Monmouth to fill the role of longtime Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Nate Mulberg who accepted the head coach role at John Hopkins last month.
"We are thrilled to have Kyle join our staff," Aoki said. "He is a great teacher of the game, an incredibly hard worker and highly respected recruiter.
"He also values building relationships with players as he guides everyone to be the best person, student and player they can be," Aoki continued. "There's no doubt in my mind he will help to elevate Spider Baseball."
Norman joined the coaching staff at Monmouth in July 2022. In three seasons with the Hawks, he worked with five All-CAA honorees and an ABCA All-Region selection. Monmouth also improved on the base paths, doubling its stolen base totals in each of his three seasons, including 102 stolen bases in 2025 which ranked just out of the top-50 in NCAA Division I.
Norman spent the 2022 season as an assistant at Bucknell, where the Bison doubled their win total from 2021. The Bison offense improved in batting average by over 30 points, hitting .284 as a group. All told, five Bucknell regulars hit over .300 en route to a 14-11 conference mark. In 2021 at NJIT, the Highlanders won the America East and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with Norman on staff working with outfielders and base running, ultimately winning a game in the NCAA Fayetteville Regional. NJIT set a program record with 61 stolen bases with Norman working alongside the baserunners.
A two-year starter in the outfield as a student-athlete at Monmouth, Norman was an All-MAAC recipient in 2018 after hitting .298 with a team-best 12 doubles. He helped lead the Hawks to a MAAC regular season title, starting 52 games as a redshirt junior, as he ultimately picked up a walk-off single in the conference tournament to knock off Siena. Norman started every game as a senior in 2019, hitting .275 with 16 stolen bases and nine doubles.
