Penn State baseball’s pitching coach Josh Newman has already reached the highest level of baseball.
He spent five seasons in the professional ranks, including two seasons in Major League Baseball.
Now, he faces a new challenge — leading Penn State pitchers to the big stage— and he is using experience from his own journey to get them there.
Newman’s time in the majors was split between the Colorado Rockies and the Kansas City Royals, including being a part of the 2007 World Series run by the Rockies.
He was at the pinnacle of baseball with the Rockies, but was a part of one of the worst teams in the league in Kansas City.
