📍 Bridgeport Indians·Thursday, July 30, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Bridgeport Indians have elevated assistant coach Ryan Jenkins to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after three seasons developing talent within the program. The Indians, a Class AA team, have shown steady improvement under head coach Mike Smith, who led the team to a 7-4 record last season. Jenkins' promotion is seen as a key factor in the team's continued growth, as he has been instrumental in recruiting and developing young players. The move is expected to have a significant impact on the team's competitive outlook, as the Indians look to challenge for a state title in the upcoming season.
