Ryan Forrest
Boston College
Ryan Forrest became the Boston College pitching coach after six seasons as the pitching coach at Air Force, where he helped lead the pitching staff to the most strikeouts in program history in 2022 with 455.
After one season on the Mississippi College staff, Forrest began at Air Force in 2018, when he improved the program’s earned run average by 1.34 points in his first season. In 2019, Air Force set a program record with a 4.83 ERA during Mountain West play, the pitching staff’s lowest ever ERA during conference season.
Under Forrest’s tutelage, the Falcons boasted two All-Conference pitchers in 2021, in Paul Skenes and John Byrnes. With 26 wins, the most by the program since 1993, Air Force put together its best conference record in program history at 18-16, ranking in the top-three in both strikeouts and saves in the Mountain West.
Forrest pitched for Maine from 2007-09 as a reliever. He started his collegiate career at Creighton University in 2006. The MBCA is excited to have Coach Forrest speak about how he has developed pitchers through the years.
