New Mississippi State pitching coach Wes Johnson speaks about his staff as they prepare for the 2016 season.
On what he expects out of the closer role…
“We have some viable candidates. We are looking at Reid Humphreys, who has come out and established himself on the mound right now. Blake Smith can do some things as well. I like our options back there. Jacob Billingsley has a power slider and is throwing the ball really well right now. It has been my experience that you need two, if not three (guys who can close).
