Mitchell Griffiths joined the Wittenberg University baseball staff prior to the 2022-23 season as an assistant coach. After two seasons as the program's recruiting coordinator and pitching coach, Griffiths took over as the team's interim head coach in January 2025 and led the Tigers to a tremendous 29-win campaign. In June 2025, Wittenberg removed the interim label and made Griffiths the 11th head coach in program history.
Griffiths has led the Tiger pitching staff to numerous records in his three years on staff, and the Tigers have also broken numerous offensive records during the 2025 season, including the team's season strikeout record (313) and season home run record (51). Wittenberg has reached the NCAC Tournament in each of Griffiths' three seasons on the coaching staff, and the Tigers have placed at least eight players on the All-NCAC honor roll following each season. The 2023 squad set program records with 32 wins and a 15-game winning streak, and Wittenberg won a share of its first-ever NCAC regular season title and also advanced to the NCAC Tournament championship game the following year.
Griffiths joined Wittenberg's coaching staff after two seasons at NCAA Division II Coker University (S.C). Before that, Griffiths spent one season on staff at Adrian College. During the COVID-19 shortened season at Adrian, the team's pitchers carried a 3.26 ERA with 91 strikeouts compared to just 46 walks in 77.1 innings. Griffiths also coached Mo Hanley, a 13th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2021, during his tenure at Adrian. While on staff at Coker, Griffiths helped the Cobras set the team record for single-season strikeouts by more than 70.
Griffiths, who holds both Rapsodo and Driveline program certifications, started his coaching career with one year at NCAA Division II Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio, as a graduate assistant coach.
A Columbus, Ohio native, Griffiths played for four years at NCAA Division II Alderson Broaddus University in Philippi, W.V. He was a sophomore member of the 2016 Great Midwest Athletic Conference championship team that qualified for the Midwest Regional, as Alderson Broaddus posted records of 31-21 overall and 14-8 in the league. Griffiths graduated as the program's career record-holder in pitching appearances at 56. He finished with a 4-7 career record with five saves.
Griffiths earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from Alderson Broaddus and a master's in business administration from Walsh.
