Todd Butler will coach Wichita State baseball out of the Missouri Valley Conference and into the American Athletic Conference.
Boosted by a promising group of returning position players and protected by a contract signed until 2020, Butler will return for a fifth season, WSU athletic director Darron Boatright said.
“There’s no one more frustrated by the win-loss record than Todd,” Boatright said. “When you have someone that is leading your program that does things the right way, brings quality people onto our campus … represents us well … when you have an individual like that leading your program, they deserve every opportunity to be successful.
