Kyle Cameron joined the Memphis Baseball coaching staff in August 2023 after a stint as a volunteer assistant coach at Jacksonville State. After serving as the program's Director of Player Development, Cameron moves into his first season as Memphis' pitching coach after being assigned the role in June 2025.

So far in his two seasons with the Tigers, Cameron has helped the program with a key on the pitching staff, as the Tigers had numerous improvements in ERA, walks, hits allowed and earned runs allowed from 2024 to 2025. Memphis' ERA dropped by 1.53 from season to season, with the staff also allowing 95 fewer earned runs. Four pitchers saw their ERAs cut in half with Cameron on staff, with Seth Garner continuing to show strength as a weekend starter, cutting 1.12 off his ERA and leading the Tigers with 75.2 innings pitched.

Cameron previously spent two seasons at Jacksonville State as a volunteer assistant coach at Jacksonville State, where he oversaw the program's pitchers and catchers. The Gamecocks held a conference record of 37-23 over his two seasons on staff, and had three players drafted in the first 10 rounds of the 2023 and 2024 MLB Draft (Jake Peppers, 2023 9th Round; AJ Causey*, 2024 5th Round; Tanner Jones*, 2024 6th Round) as Causey and Jones transferred to SEC powers Tennessee and Texas A&M prior to being drafted.

He also spent one season as a graduate assistant coach at Alabama in 2021, assisting with pitching duties and managing the bullpen during the season. The 2021 Crimson Tide team reached the Ruston Regional with Cameron's guidance, and the team had six eventual MLB draftees in the 2021 and 2022 classes (Dylan Smith, 2021 3rd Round; Chase Lee, 2021 6th Round; Tyler Ras, 2021 14th Round; Connor Prielipp, 2022 2nd Round; Dylan Ray, 2022 4th Round; Jacob McNairy, 2022 16th Round).

Prior to his coaching career, Cameron pitched at Alabama from 2016-20, making 50 appearances on the mound with a 3-0 record in 19.2 innings during his junior season. In that same season, he carried a 5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Cameron played a key relief role in 2018 with 39 innings pitched out of the bullpen, including 27 innings during SEC play.

Cameron, a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, holds two degrees from the University of Alabama: a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration and resides in the Memphis area with his wife, Kendra.
