Kevin Jannusch has been the softball coach at Kansas Wesleyan since January 2018. He is the 13th coach to lead the KWU program.

 

Jannusch most recently served as an assistant coach at Texas-San Antonio in 2017, but spent six years as head coach at Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa from 2011 until 2016 when the university closed its traditional campus to become an online only university.

 

While at Ashford, Jannusch became the program's all-time wins leader and won the AII Tournament and made the school's first-ever NAIA National Championship appearance in 2016. He coached 33 all-conference players, 14 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athletes, had four teams named as NAIA Scholar Teams and a CoSIDA Academic All-American. His 2016 squad set a school record with 30 wins and in 2016, Jannusch was inducted to the Ashford Athletic Hall of Fame.

 

Before Ashford, Jannusch coached at Incarnate Word in San Antonio from 2002 to 2007. In his five seasons with the Cardinals, he won 142 games, the second highest total in school history while leading the team to its first ever NCAA Regional Runner-Up title and first ever Heartland Conference Championship in 2006 and first ever NCAA ranking at No. 14 in the final Division II poll that season. The team's 46 wins that season is a school record. While at UIW, he coached 18 All-Heartland Conference players, four NFCA All-Region players and two NFCA All-Americans.

 

He also has coaching stops at Texas State, St. Edwards (Texas), Evansville, Colorado Mesa, Lincoln (Mo.), and Our Lady of the Lake (Texas). He also founded and coached the Hearts of Texas Girls Fastpitch Club in Austin from 1996 to 2007.

 

Jannusch has a bachelor's degree in sports management from Colorado Mesa University.
