Mitch Roberts enters his second season as an assistant coach for the Ball State softball program in 2019.

Prior to joining the Cardinals staff, Roberts spent the 2017 season as a graduate assistant at the University of Washington.

"After being part of a national championship contending program at Washington, Mitch knows what it takes to reach the pinnacle of our sport," Ball State head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett said. "He has a very clear vision of what it takes to win big games at this level and shows great promise in the coaching profession."

In his first season on the Ball State staff, Roberts helped guide the Cardinals to a 37-19 overall record and the 2018 MAC West Division championship with a 16-7 league mark. The team's 37 wins rank as the fourth-most in a single season in program history.

In his lone season on the Huskies' staff, Roberts helped guide the program to a 50-14 record and the 12th Women's College World Series appearance in program history. Six Huskies earned NFCA All-Region honors last season, with one going on to earn NFCA All-American honors.

Along with being a part of Washington's staff, Mitch has served as an assistant coach for the Team Seattle U14 travel team and has been a coach at multiple instructional clinics along the West Coast. Prior to his coaching career, Roberts played collegiate baseball at the Milwaukee Area Technical College (2013-14) and St. Ambrose University (2015-16).
