"We are very grateful to have Wynn serve as the new head baseball coach at Asbury University," said Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics and University Communications,

I look forward to partnering with our student-athletes, coaches, and the entire Eagle community to continue building a program focused on character, competition, and growth."
Prior to his time at Asbury, Harris led the baseball program at Lexington Christian Academy (LCA) from 2017-2022, guiding LCA to multiple postseason appearances and a 2022 KHSAA 43rd District Championship while earning KHSBCA 11th Region Coach of the Year honors.
