The Arkansas baseball team has a new pitching coach, and he was a #1 request on a lot of people’s lists. Wes Johnson, a Sherwood native, has been the toast of the SEC this season after turning around Mississippi State’s pitching game.
The Bulldogs went from worst in the SEC, to winning the regular season this year. A key element in that turnaround was their pitching, led by Dakota Hudson and Zac Houston. Hudson was just drafted in the first round of the draft, and according to Houston, the progress was all due to Johnson’s vision.
