Ohio State Hires Campbell’s Justin Haire As New Baseball Coach

Ohio State has its new baseball coach.

Justin Haire, who won 317 games over the past 10 years as the head coach at Campbell, signed a five-year contract with the Buckeyes on Friday.

"We are so excited to welcome Justin Haire and his family to Ohio State to lead our baseball program into a new era," soon-to-be athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. "We had a tremendous amount of interest in this position from successful coaches around the country, so it was exciting to see this search unfold. Coach Haire's successful career as a head coach and track record of winning games in the NCAA Tournament made us stand up and take notice, and his deep Ohio roots are an added bonus.
