ACC ‘B’ finalist Alex Bauer has entered the transfer portal, he posted to Instagram on Monday. Bauer’s entry comes a day after it was announced that Pitt head coach Chase Kreitler would resign from his position, effective immediately.
Kreitler said, “As I entered the final year of my contract, my hope was to continue building on this momentum through a multi-year extension. I was recently informed that the department intends to move in a different strategic direction after the 2026–2027 season. While I was offered the opportunity to coach one more year, I do not believe I could operate in integrity continuing to recruit transfers and incoming student-athletes knowing I would not be part of their journey beyond next season. Therefore, I have decided to resign from my position as the Head Swimming & Diving Coach at Pitt, effective immediately.”
Bauer posted on Instagram, “In light in recent events. I have decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. I want to thank everyone at Pitt especially Chase,Micheal,Gideon,and Kaersten as well as my teammates and support staff. I would not be in position I am in without them.”
Bauer and other Pitt athletes have 30 days to enter their names into the transfer portal, despite the portal closing last Friday for men. Head coaching changes are one exception to the transfer portal window.
Bauer just finished his sophomore season with the Panthers and went best times in all three of his events at the 2026 ACC Championships. His highest finish came in the 400 IM where he was 16th in a 3:46.31 (3:45.42 in prelims). He also was 35th in the 200 IM (1:46.34) and 35th in the 200 breast (1:58.46). He also time trialed the 200 free and swam to a lifetime best 1:36.63.
