    Grow_Rob     Rob Grow, RIT’s all-time leader in coaching wins and 2006 RIT Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, begins his 27th season at the helm of the Tiger baseball squad in 2018-19. Grow enters the 2019 season just 19 wins shy of 500.

     
    In 2017, Grow and the Tigers enjoyed their finest season in program history, winning the Liberty League Championship for the first time, while making their first NCAA Division III Baseball Championship appearance.  Last season, the Tigers won 20 games and advanced to the Liberty League Championship Tournament for the third time in the last four seasons. Nine players earned All-Liberty League honors.

     

     
    RIT set single-season program records for most wins (33), highest winning percentage (.785), highest fielding percentage (.973), runs scored (317), hits (432), doubles (105), home runs (23), runs batted in (287), total bases (642), slugging percentage (.452), and walks (191) during the 2017 season. The pitching staff re-wrote the school record book that year with the most strikeouts (319), shutouts (4), strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.22), and lowest WHIP (1.19) in program history.
     
    Defensively, RIT was seventh nationally with a .973 fielding percentage and overall, its .786 winning percentage (33-9 overall record) was ninth best in Division III.  In recent seasons, Grow has coached several players who have smashed countless single-season and career-records, including two-time CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-America


    Grow is a 1988 graduate of RIT, where he played three years of baseball for the Tigers as an outfielder. He is among the career leaders in runs scored, walks and on-base percentage. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in business, Grow was an assistant coach at Rush-Henrietta High School. In 1990, he helped guide the squad to a Section V title.
