Report: Duke baseball coach Chris Pollard turns down the Miami Hurricanes’ position

The Miami Hurricanes’ baseball program has yet another talented head baseball coach turn down their advances, Kendall Rogers of d1baseball.com reported on Sunday evening. Duke baseball head coach Chris Pollard is staying put in Durham after the Blue Devils’ administration made a stronger commitment to facilities and more. He’s also getting a raise this offseason, per Rogers’ report.

Pollard guided the Duke Blue Devils to an exceptional 2023 campaign. They advanced all the way to the Charlottesville Super Regional, where they were defeated 2-1 in the series by the Virginia Cavaliers. Duke won the first game of the series, thanks to a pivotal two-run blast by Damon Lux in the top of the third inning. The Blue Devils also had a number of their freshman pitchers step up in that game to shut down the Cavaliers’ bats. Unfortunately, Virginia piled on the runs in the final two games to punch their tickets to Omaha to the 2023 College World Series.

Duke won three of their four games in the Conway Regional in the opening round of the 2023 NCAA Baseball Tournament. The Blue Devils finished with a 39-24 overall record this year.
