It was a little more than a week ago when Mississippi State head baseball coach John Cohen first contacted Wes Johnson about being the new pitching coach of the Bulldogs.
On Friday with a smile on his face, Johnson was introduced as the man who will fill that role, exuding an excitement for the chance to don the maroon and white.
“I believe this is the best place in the country to play college baseball,” Johnson said. “The staff and support this university gives this place is phenomenal.”
Johnson takes over as MSU’s pitching coach following the departure of Butch Thompson.
