Washington State has added Kimble Schuessler to its baseball staff, with head coach Nathan Choate announcing Wednesday that the former Texas standout will serve as an assistant coach.
Schuessler’s role with the Cougars will center on the outfielders, first base and helping with the hitters. He arrives in Pullman after spending last season as a graduate assistant at Texas, his alma mater, where he was part of a staff that helped the Longhorns reach the College World Series. His duties there included working with the hitters and infielders, along with scouting reports.
“We are extremely excited to add Kimble Schuessler to our staff,” Choate said. “Kimble comes from one the most successful programs in the country, and there is no doubt his knowledge and toughness will benefit our players immensely.”
A native of Llano, Texas, Schuessler started his college career at Texas A&M before transferring to Texas, where he played three seasons and appeared in 131 career games. He finished with 141 hits, 30 doubles, 19 home runs and 82 RBI.
Schuessler also earned two All-Regional Team selections and picked up SEC All-Defensive Team honors as a senior. He earned a bachelor’s degree in physical culture and sport and a master’s degree in sport management, both from Texas.
“I am excited for the opportunity to be part of Washington State Baseball and learn from Coach Choate and his staff,” Schuessler said. “They are a great program built on toughness and do an amazing job in developing players on and off the field. I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.”
Washington State is coming off a 2026 Mountain West Conference Tournament Championship and its first trip back to the NCAA Tournament since 2010.
