J.C. Bunch took over as the head baseball coach at Southwestern University for the 2018 season. In 2019 Coach Bunch put together the program's first winning season since 2008, featuring a season with the SCAC Pitcher of the Year, three All-Region players, and a D3Baseball.com All-American. Coach Bunch has led the Pirates to four SCAC Tournament appearances in his tenure and has coached one conference Newcomer of the Year, one conference Pitcher of the Year, 33 All-Conference selections, seven All-Region players, and one All-American. 

He arrived in Georgetown following 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) rival Trinity. Since 2015, he also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Tigers, who won the 2016 NCAA Division III National Championship.

Bunch helped Trinity to seven SCAC championships during his tenure in San Antonio. While managing the offensive side of the program, he mentored 64 All-SCAC selections, including 54 first-teamers and three SCAC Players of the Year.

During the championship run in 2016, the Tigers posted a 44-7 record, setting a program record for victories. Trinity also logged a perfect 12-0 mark in the postseason, including a 5-0 record at the NCAA Championship in Appleton, Wisconsin.

A four-year letter winner at Trinity (1998-2001), Bunch earned All-SCAC honors four times and twice was named all-region. He hit .400 with 30 home runs while in the Alamo City. The .475 batting average posted during his freshman campaign ranks as the second-best in program annals. He also was named to the SCAC 15th Anniversary Baseball Team in 2006.

Following his collegiate career, Bunch played two seasons in the Texas Rangers' organization. He led the Gulf Coast League Rangers with a .333 batting average in 2001.
