Matt Richter has been the baseball head coach at Cedarville University since the 2022-23 academic year.
During his three seasons at CU he has coached two NCCAA All-Americans, five NCCAA Midwest Region players, one G-MAC Freshman of the Year, five All-G-MAC players, 19 NCCAA Scholar-Athletes, and 54 G-MAC Academic All-Conference players.
Richter came to the Yellow Jackets with more than 20 years of experience as both a player and coach.
The California native was with the Baseball Factory from 2002 through 2022 as director of college recruiting, regional scout, and on-field director.
He’s also been the assistant general manager and coach of the Xenia Scouts with Athletes in Action for eight years.
While this is his first head coaching position, Richter has been a college assistant coach at three stops - the first two in his home state.
He spent five years at his alma mater, Westmont College, and another season at Azusa Pacific University.
More recently, he was an assistant coach at Sinclair Community College in Dayton before the school discontinued its entire athletic program in 2020.
Richter earned a bachelors degree in English from Westmont in 1999. He was a four-year member of the Warriors’ baseball team as a catcher and two-time team captain.
Matt and his wife Erin, who is a Cedarville University alum, reside in Xenia with their children.
