Coach Reiser returned to Elmwood High School as the Middle School Technology teacher and Head Varsity Baseball Coach for the 1991 season.

During that time his varsity teams have compiled a 518-216 record, an amazing winning percentage of .706. His teams have won 16 conference championships, 20 Sectional titles, 8 District titles, 2 Regional Runner-up titles, and a State Runner-up finish in 2007. Kyle has been fortunate to have had many outstanding assistant coaches during his tenure, many of them former players, and is proud of the fact that some have gone on to be head coaches at other schools. He has had the privilege of coaching some outstanding baseball players with 10 former college Division I student-athletes and 15 in Division II and III.
