Billy O'Conner announced the addition of Riley Bertram to the Xavier Baseball coaching staff in Fall 2023. Bertram wrapped up his collegiate career as a graduate transfer at Clemson in 2023.
"Riley will be a great addition to our staff and our program," said O'Conner. "From a young age when I first recruited him, his leadership qualities were evident every time he stepped on the field. Those qualities only grew in watching his success through his playing career at both Michigan and Clemson."
"He's a winner wherever he has been. I'm excited to watch him flourish in this new role, and I'm confident in the way he's going to help this program take another step forward."
Bertram, a middle infielder originally from Zionsville, Ind., spent the 2023 season as a grad student at Clemson after spending four seasons at Michigan. For his career, Bertram was a .275 hitter with a .365 slugging percentage and .373 on-base percentage through 195 games. In his five collegiate seasons, he made 174 starts, drove in 110 RBIs and scored 115 runs. On defense Bertram, finished his college career with a .967 fielding percentage.
During the 2023 season at Clemson, Bertram was a team captain, earning ACC All-Tournament First Team honors after helping the Tigers to the tournament championship.
A two-time captain at Michigan, Bertram was an All-Big Ten Tournament First Team selection for the 2022 Big Ten Tournament Champions, and a member of the 2019 squad that made the championship series of the College World Series.
Bertram earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Michigan in 2022, and a Certificate in Athletic Leadership from Clemson in 2023. He earned All-Academic Team honors from both the Big Ten and the ACC during his career.
