Godwin is coming off a year in which his team won 40 games, claimed the American Athletic Conference crown, and made it to the NCAA Regionals.
Godwin lost Luke Lowery, David Lucroy and Reid Love to the MLB draft as well as senior captain Hunter Allen to graduation.
“We did lose some guys that were very valuable to the program,” said Godwin. “But we had a lot of guys, who played last year that are back.”
While Godwin returns a majority of his players back for his second season with the Pirates, he is excited about his recruiting class.
