Micha Baumfeld was promoted to Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball's Associate Head Coach in the Fall of 2025. He joined the Bears prior to the 2023 season as their pitching coach after spending 10 seasons as the head coach at Georgetown (KY). 

Baumfeld has been instrumental in leading the Bears to national prominence. In 2025 Lenoir-Rhyne won their first ever Southeast Regional Championship and advanced to the national semi-finals. Andrew Harlow set the school record for single-season strikeouts (125) while the team finished second in school history with 562 on the year. The Bears won a school record 50 games in 2025, capping off a three-year stretch of winning seasons with Baumfeld as their pitching coach. He has coached eight All-Conference pitchers in just three seasons.

In 10 seasons as the head coach for theGeorgetown (KY) Tigers, Baumfeld led the program to four NAIA Regionals, including the program's first NAIA World Series in 26 years in 2014. The Tigers also won their first ever Mid-South Conference Championship 2014. Overall, Baumfeld went 328-165 (.670) in his 10 seasons, and his teams set virtually every record in the program's history. 

Baumfeld was the pitching coach at Georgetown for two years before being promoted to head coach, and when he started as pitching coach, the Tigers' pitching staff was ranked No. 79 in the country. In just two seasons, Baumfeld transformed the staff to reach No. 1 in the nation in 2012, his first year as head coach. 

In ten full seasons at Georgetown, Baumfeld coached the first NAIA pitcher taken in the 2018 MLB Draft (Shawn Dubin, Houston Astros), and two First-Team All-Americans. He also had two Honorable Mention All-Americans, two Mid-South Players of the Year, two Mid-South Pitchers of the Year, and 23 First-Team All-Conference players (13 pitchers).

Baumfeld is a 2003 graduate of Medialle College (NY), where he was a member of the baseball team. He and his wife Amanda have two sons, Landen and Seaver.
