Blue Ridge School is pleased to announce the appointment of Todd Carroll as Head Baseball Coach. Carroll brings more than two decades of experience in player development, collegiate coaching, and professional baseball scouting to the Baron program.
“We are excited to welcome Todd to Blue Ridge,” said Head of School Trip Darrin, P’29. “His experience, leadership, and commitment to developing young men make him an outstanding fit for our community and mission.”
Athletic Director Parker Kirwan echoed that enthusiasm. “Coach Carroll has succeeded at every level of the game, from collegiate baseball to professional organizations,” Kirwan said. “We’re thrilled to have someone with his experience and passion leading our baseball program and mentoring our student-athletes.”
Carroll most recently served as Pitching Coach for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League – widely regarded as the premier collegiate summer league in the country – where he worked alongside top MLB prospects and future professional players.
His collegiate coaching career is highlighted by a highly successful tenure at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he served as Pitching Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. During his time with the Engineers, the program captured three conference championships and earned five NCAA Tournament appearances. Carroll’s recruiting efforts produced the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class in 2014 (Perfect Game) and he was named the Kevin Burr New England College Baseball Assistant Coach of the Year in 2015 – recognizing the top assistant coach across all three NCAA divisions in New England.
From 2022 to 2024, Carroll served as a Minor League Pitching Coach in the Seattle Mariners organization, working with professional athletes at the club’s Arizona and Dominican Republic training complexes. Several pitchers he coached have since advanced to Major League Baseball. Most recently, he joined the Boston Red Sox organization as an amateur scouting assistant, evaluating players and assisting area scouts in preparation for the 2026 MLB Draft. Earlier in his career, Carroll worked as an Associate Scout for MLB’s Scouting Bureau, filing reports used by all 30 Major League organizations.
Carroll has also coached and developed players at Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts Boston, Salem Community College, and numerous elite summer programs throughout his career.
“I am thrilled to take over the baseball program at Blue Ridge,” said Carroll. “The community has been really invested in our success already. I look forward to working with our coaching staff to help Blue Ridge students and athletes become the best version of themselves on and off the field while pursuing championship banners to add to the ones from other sports at Blue Ridge.”
Blue Ridge School looks forward to welcoming Coach Carroll to campus this fall.
