PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State baseball coach Marty Lees continued to fill out his coaching staff Wednesday, hiring former Washington State catcher and minor league manager Jim Horner as an assistant coach.
Horner, a first-team All-Pacific-10 catcher for the Cougars in 1996, jumped at the opportunity to return to the Palouse after managing the Seattle Mariners Double-A affiliate Jackson Generals (Tenn.) for the 2014 season and the first half of the 2015 campaign.
“It’s another great day for Washington State Baseball. I am very happy to have Jimmy join our staff and work with our catchers and hitters,” Lees said.
