Ryan Doheny enters the 2026-27 season in his first year as the Anderson University head baseball coach.

Doheny served as the associate head baseball coach at Nelson University in Arizona in the two years prior to arriving at Anderson. He also coached at Crown College for 10 years, including five years as the head coach.

In his two years at Nelson, the Warriors made an 18-win improvement. In 2026, Nelson captured a third-place finish in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) World Series. Doheny coached three NCCAA All-Americans, including one first-team all-American. The Warriors also finished in the top 10 in the nation in batting average, hits, doubles, home runs and runs batted in under Doheny's mentorship.

After serving as the Crown assistant coach for five years, Doheny was promoted to Crown's head coaching role and began his first season in 2018. During his second season, he led the Polars to their first Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) playoff berth in program history, the first of four consecutive playoff appearances.

In 2022, Doheny led Crown to a UMAC Tournament title and an NCAA Tournament berth. The Polars put together a 30-15 record, a school record for wins. Doheny has coached the UMAC Player of the Year, the UMAC Tournament MVP, the UMAC Rookie of the Year, 18 all-conference players, 50 academic all-conference players, six all-region selections and one all-American during his head coaching tenure at Crown. Among NCAA D-III leaders in 2022, the Polars finished second in home runs per game, third in slugging percentage and sixth in strikeouts per nine innings.

Doheny graduated from Bethel University in Minnesota with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies. He then earned a Master of Business Administration from Crown.
