- 2019 Atlantic 10 Champions

Jared Franklin joined the Fordham baseball coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach in 2019, and will start his fourth season in 2022.

In his first season on the staff, the Rams captured the Atlantic 10 Championship for the second time in program history and made its first NCAA appearance since 1998.  Fordham once again led the nation in stolen bases for the second consecutive with a school record total of 178, while also setting the modern day program record for wins in a season (38) and strikeouts (605).

Individually, pitcher John Stankiewicz was named Third Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball, the NCBWA, and the ABCA, after being selected as the Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year.   He also earned First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors along with teammate Kyle Martin, while Jason Coules was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.

Most recently in 2021, Fordham continued to develop top pitching talent, as Matt Mikulski became a unanimous All-American, a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award, and the second straight Ram to be named Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year.  He also became the Rams' single season and career strikeouts leader and was a second round draft pick by the San Francisco Giants, the second-highest draft pick for the Rams in the modern draft era.

Franklin came to Rose Hill after serving as the hitting coach at Lake Erie College for two seasons (2016-2018). While at Lake Erie, Franklin guided the offense to the second most hits in school history in 2016 with 446.

Prior to Lake Erie College Franklin served as the Head Coach at Webster County High School in Kentucky for two seasons (2015-2016), Franklin has had several coaching stops, serving as an assistant coach at Defiance College (2014), Southeastern Illinois College (2013), Texas A&M International University (2010-11), and Ohio Wesleyan University (2008-10).

He has also been in charge of a number of summer programs, acting as head coach of the Madisonville Miners for four seasons (2013-2017) and the Cheyenne Grizzlies (2013), while serving as a baseball coach at the IMG Academy in 2012. While heading the Miners, Franklin lead the team to the two highest win percentages in franchise history in 2015 and 2016. In Cheyenne, Franklin lead to Grizzlies to the 2013 Mountain College League title.

Since beginning his coach career, Franklin has had 24 for players sign professional contracts including three to reach the Major League level.
