Michael Boswell enters his second year as the Dragons pitching coach in 2024-25. 

During the 2024 season, Boswell was able to play a huge role in getting the Dragons back to the GMAC tournament final game.  His hurlers were able to decrease their team ERA in 2024 by 1.75 runs from the previous season.  With no All-Conference selections, Boswell was able to take a staff where 8 guys threw over 25 innings and none of them exceeded 50.  Coach Boswell’s game management was a key factor in putting together the success of the staff, especially when the lights were the brightest at the end of the season.   Jonathan Ray led the staff in conference ERA with a 3.13 in 31.2 innings pitched and Scotty Adelman was right behind him with a 4.18 ERA in 32.1 conference innings.  Francisco Olivarez was a weapon out of the pen with a 3.15 ERA in 34.1 innings pitched.  He earned the Conference Pitcher of the Week for his 6 scoreless innings against Thomas More.  Nick Feasel finished strong and added a complete game in the conference tournament against the #2 seed (Northwood) and freshmen Mason Brunecz and Brandon Swope got valuable experience out of the pen as true freshmen.  Both had conference ERAs under 4 in 2024.   

Prior to becoming the Dragon pitching coach, Boswell was the Field Manager for the Chillicothe Paints in 2023.  During that  summer, the Paints led the Prospect League in offense, his pitching staff finished second in team ERA, and his team was able to win their second consecutive Prospect League Championship.

Before heading to Chillicothe for the 2023 summer, Boswell Head of Baseball Strength and Conditioning for the Dragons for 2022-23, while assisting Coach Drew Patton with the pitching staff.

During the 2022-23 year, Boswell took over the reigns in the weight room as the Head of Baseball Strength and Conditioning while assisting Coach Drew Patton with the pitching staff.

Prior to joining the Dragons coaching staff, Boswell had one of the most decorated careers as a Dragons hurler from 2017-2022. In 2017, Boswell was named GLIAC Freshman Pitcher of the Year while compiling a 6-1 record. In 2021, Boswell was named Second Team ALL-G-MAC after going 7-1 with a 3.20 ERA. In 2022, Boswell etched his name into the Tiffin University record books, becoming the career leader for wins (26), career strikeouts (277), single-season strikeouts (98), and single-game strikeouts (16), along with multiple other records. Boswell was selected to the D2CCA All-American Team, NCBWA All-Region Team, NCBWA Regional Pitcher of the Year, D2CCCA All-Midwest Region Team, G-MAC Pitcher of the Year, and multiple G-MAC Pitcher of the Week nods.
