WASHINGTON -Â GW baseball head coach Gregg Ritchie announced the hirings of Tim Dold as Director of Baseball Operations and Ryan Smoot as Volunteer Assistant Coach on Friday, rounding out the team's staff for the 2020 campaign.

Dold also served as a student employee for the Hofstra athletic facilities department. A native of Annapolis, Md., Dold attended Broadneck High School where he was the team captain for the baseball team and earned All-County and All-District honors.
Smoot recently completed his playing career at VMI, graduating in May with a degree in Economics and Business.

He appeared in 52 games in 2019 for VMI, driving in 18 runs and scoring 38 times while walking more times (39) than striking out (32).
