Southern Miss is officially in search of a new pitching coach.
Michael Federico, who had served the Golden Eagles in that capacity for eight seasons, was officially hired as Louisiana-Monroe head coach, the school announced Tuesday.
Federico takes over a Warhawks team that went 12-43 in 2017. Bruce Peddie was fired in May.
Federico, Conference USA's Assistant Coach of the Year in 2015, played catcher at Southern Miss from 1995-97.
“I'm very happy for Mike and this opportunity to advance his career,” Southern Miss head coach Scott Berry said in a ULM press release.
