OREM, Utah — Utah Valley Director of Hitting Analytics Joey Harmon has accepted a position on the Whitman College baseball staff for the 2027 season.
 
Harmon, who played his final season of eligibility at Utah Valley in 2025, spent the 2026 season on staff as the Wolverines' director of hitting analytics.
 
"Joey was part of our championship run in 2025 and joined our coaching staff in 2026," said UVU head coach Nate Rasmussen. "He is incredibly smart and has a bright future in this game. I'm excited for him to have the opportunity to run his own offense as he continues to grow in the profession, but we're certainly sad to see him leave."
 
Harmon was a member of Utah Valley's 2025 team that advanced to the NCAA Regional, the Wolverines' second regional appearance in program history. He made five appearances on the mound, including three outings of 1 1/3 innings. The Pacific University graduate recorded a season-high two strikeouts against UC Riverside in UVU's opening series of the season.
 
As director of hitting analytics, Harmon helped support the Wolverine offense during the 2026 campaign. Among his contributions was helping Hunter Katschke reach new career highs and set the Utah Valley single-season home run record.
 
Whitman College is an NCAA Division III institution that competes in the Northwest Conference, the same league in which Harmon played while at Pacific. The Blues finished the 2026 season with a 14-25-1 overall record and an 8-16 mark in conference play.
