Duke director of baseball operations Daniel Jung says goodbye to the Blue Devils

Daniel Jung, who spent three seasons as Duke’s director of baseball operations, shared a statement on Monday to confirm he left the school.

Daniel Jung, Duke’s former director of baseball operations, shared a statement through social media on Monday to confirm he no longer worked with the program.

“This past weekend marked my final days at Duke,” Jung wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “It’s been an incredible ride here in Durham and a privilege to be a part of the Duke Baseball family.”

Jung played for Notre Dame from 2017-21 before spending one season as a volunteer assistant at Northern Illinois. After Duke finished with a 22-32 record in Jung’s first season with the program in 2022, the Blue Devils won 79 games over the last two years and took home the ACC Tournament title this spring.

While he’s spent most of the last decade in college basketball in some capacity, Jung did not reveal what was next for him.

“Stepping away from Duke and college baseball has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make,” Jung wrote. “However, I leave knowing without question that Duke, this community, and college baseball has given me more than I have given them.”

Jung also took the time to thank Duke head coach Chris Pollard, the rest of the coaching staff, and the players he’d worked with for the last three years.
