Ryan Forrest enters his first season at Boston College after six seasons as the pitching coach at Air Force, where he helped lead the pitching staff to the most strikeouts in program history in 2022 with 455.Â
After one season on the Mississippi College staff, Forrest began at Air Force in 2018, when he improved the program's earned run average by 1.34 points in his first season. In 2019, Air Force set a program record with a 4.83 ERA during Mountain West play, the pitching staff's lowest ever ERA during conference season. Second-Team All-Mountain West hurler Jake Gilbert, an eventual Cincinnati Reds signee, posted a 2.55 ERA for the Falcons after Forrest converted him from a closer to a weekend starter, good for the eighth-best single-season ERA in program history.Â
Under Forrest's tutelage, the Falcons boasted two All-Conference pitchers in 2021, in Paul Skenes and John Byrnes. With 26 wins, the most by the program since 1993, Air Force put together its best conference record in program history at 18-16, ranking in the top-three in both strikeouts and saves in the Mountain West.Â
Air Force clinched their first Mountain West title and played in their first NCAA Regional in 2022, logging their most overall wins since joining the conference in 2000. Forrest's staff set the single-season record for most strikeouts by an Air Force pitching staff, with 455, and boasted Mountain West Co-Pitcher of the Year in Paul Skenes, who finished with a 7-1 record, a league-best 2.40 ERA, and 56 strikeouts in ten starts, garnering First-Team All-American honors and a spot on the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team.Â
Forrest pitched for Maine from 2007-09 as a reliever. He started his collegiate career at Creighton University in 2006.
