PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The "interim" tag has been removed for Plymouth State University baseball coach Ryan McIntosh, Director of Athletics Kim Bownes announced on Thursday.
McIntosh, who was named Interim Head Coach at the conclusion of the 2022 season, was endorsed as the 10th head coach in the program's 76-year history, effective immediately.
"I am thrilled to announce Ryan McIntosh has been named the next head baseball coach here at Plymouth State," said Bownes. "Ryan has shown great leadership and professionalism and he loves and believes in Plymouth State and the baseball program. I know he will do great things for our students and the program."
McIntosh has been involved with Plymouth State for over a decade, as a player from 2011-13, and as an assistant coach from 2015-22, before taking over the program after the resignation of previous coach Clay Jenkins following the 2022 season.
"I would like to express my gratitude to Kim Bownes and the entire Plymouth State Athletics leadership team for granting me the chance to represent PSU and the baseball program last spring," said McIntosh. "It has been a great honor and privilege to be involved with Plymouth State baseball for the past 13 years, both as a player and coach. Now, as head coach, I proudly consider Plymouth State my home. I am excited about the opportunity to work on enhancing our program and consistently competing at the top of the Little East Conference and DIII baseball rankings every year. Furthermore, I am committed to developing our players and equipping them with the necessary tools to excel as students, athletes, and members of the community."
McIntosh led the Panthers to an 11-21 mark in his first season at the helm last spring, finishing in a tie for seventh in the Little East Conference – one spot shy of a postseason appearance.
