VILLANOVA, Pa.—A well-known name in the Villanova baseball program was tabbed as the Wildcats next head coach on Thursday morning, as Kevin Mulvey was named the 11th full-time head coach in the program’s 150-plus year history. Mulvey, a former standout pitcher for Villanova who reached the major leagues during a successful professional career, is elevated to the head coaching position after spending the previous four seasons as the team’s lead assistant coach.
Villanova University Director of Athletics Mark Jackson announced the baseball coaching hire on Friday, and Mulvey will become just the fifth person in the last 68 years to guide one of college baseball’s longest-running programs.
