Longtime Razorback Pitching Coach Dave Jorn announced his retirement shortly after the baseball season ended, and Dave Van Horn has found his man to replace him.
Arkansas has hired Wes Johnson from Mississippi State to take over the role. He was only in Starkville for one season, coming form a longer stint at Dallas Baptist, a school that became a national power while he was there.
Johnson is an Arkansas native originally from Sherwood and went to UA-Monticello for college.
Here’s a rundown of his career from the UA press release:
Combined during his tenure at Dallas Baptist and Mississippi State, Johnson helped his teams advance to four NCAA Regionals and most recently a Super Regional with the Bulldogs, whom he helped win the 2016 SEC Regular Season Championship.
