BLACKSBURG – On Thursday afternoon, Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Whit Babcock introduced John Szefc to Hokie Nation at a news conference held on the fourth floor at Lane Stadium.
A room filled with departmental staff members, donors and those from various media outlets got to meet the man tasked with rebuilding the Hokies’ baseball program. He inherits a rebuilding situation, as the Hokies struggled the past four seasons, making the ACC tournament just once in that span and never recording a winning season. This past spring, Tech went 23-32, with a 9-21 mark in ACC play.
