2025 was his rookie year as head coach where he was named Baseball America’s Coach of the Year, ABCA Atlantic Region Coach of the Year. He lead the Chanticleer’s to a record breaking season of 56-13. A season that landed Coastal back in the finals at the College World Series in Omaha. 
“Kevin Schnall is a huge part of our program’s success, both as a player and a coach,” head coach Gary Gilmore said. “He epitomized the type of player we strive to mold here. As a coach, his track record for hitting instruction and teaching the catcher position is unmatched. Also, his passion for the game and Coastal Carolina University is abundantly clear to everyone he meets which makes him one of the top recruiters in the nation.”
Served as assistant coach for 12 years (2001-12) then returned to the Chanticleer baseball staff as the associate head coach in July of 2015.
Schnall, a standout catcher in his own right with the Chanticleers, instructed catchers Dock Doyle (2008 Big South Player of the Year) and Jose Iglesias (third-team All-American in 2010), both of whom were finalists for the Johnny Bench Award which is given to the nation’s top collegiate catcher. In his final year at Coastal in 2012, Schnall coached Chanticleer backstop, Tucker Frawley, to semifinalist status for the same award. We now can add another name to this outstanding list Caden Bodine who is the 2025 Buster Posey award winner & First Team All-American.
