New Asst Baseball Coach Hire
-
Big big big. Great for developing catchers!!
-
We needed someone dedicated to our catchers. Just looking at college baseball in general, it is a tough position to play. Even the best guys have problems with passed balls and throwing guys out.

-
in a way, the catcher position can be the most important one on the field I've always thought. If the catcher can't throw out base stealers and let too many in the dirt go by, he can cost his team a lot of runs. Didn't we do not so good defensively behind the plate this year?

Nice hire! This will help make our defense better. Cheesebrough will handle catchers and the outfield and Gautreau will handle the infield.

Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

Sounds like a winner! And he is one of them good "cruitin" coaches too. He and Lemonis spent three years together, as assistant coaches at Louisville, under McDonnell.

He'll be stuck on campus until the NCAA approves the "third" full assistant in a year or two. But we're now ahead of the curve when that happens.
The main question I have is will the NCAA make it three full time assistants and a volunteer or just three full time?

So a volunteer assistant baseball coach can't perform any recruiting activity? I'm just asking because I wasn't aware they couldn't. But that makes sense the way the NCAA operates. I would imagine that when the NCAA ever does approve a third assistant coach , that they would do away with the volunteer coach, but who knows what the NCAA will do. LSU has a graduate assistant (former player I think). SO under the NCAA rules I guess he is not able to participate in recruiting activities?

No- they can be involved with recruiting- but they can not recruit off campus. I think that's why a lot of them are assigned the title of "camp coordinator". But they can't go out to PG events in Georgia and recruit players there.

Good catchers are extremely important. Ours sucked this year. Oregon State's catcher just won CWS MVP (although it's because he hit .520 in Omaha and set an all-time record for hits (17) in a WS than because he's good defensively, which he also is). This is a tremendous addition by Lemons.
Indiana was good defensively under Lemons. Are we sure he's not going to be handling the infielders? Not sure how he instructs them on how to get low for ground balls though.

I wouldn't be surprised if he works with our infielders some.

This is correct. My 16 year old going through the recruiting process right now. He gets personal emails, invites, etc everyday from different programs camp directors. Stanford is on him the hardest. Coach Stotz emails him 3 or 4 times a week.

Just curious, is MSU an option?

That's the dream. He would love to play at State and of course I would love for him to play there. No contact from staff yet. USM, Tulane, ULL and Nichols watched him play 4 games last week. Hit a bomb at Tulane. He's a catcher. Led 5A catchers in just about every defensive category. Only 1 error and 2 passed balls this year and threw out 70% on SB attempts.

Dreams are made to be achieved. When's MSU's summer camp and is he attending it?
