Pitching has more or less been the reason the Arizona Wildcats baseball team has failed to reach the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons, but head coach Jay Johnson is reportedly making a power move to fix it.
Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball is reporting that UA is hiring Oregon State pitching coach Nate Yeskie as its new pitching coach/associate head coach, a move that Rogers describes as a “shot in the arm” for the program.
Yeskie will fill the void left by former UA assistant Sergio Brown, who left for Cal State Fullerton earlier in the summer.
