I’m not even going to begin to act like I know anything about this dude.

Outside of being an MLB pitching coach, what’s the hype?

Good deal. He was on my top three list, along with Ostrande and Rob Childress.

Hope that's true.
How long before Random predicts that the new LSU Pitching Coach won't be bringing any Transfers with him?

Arky fans are melting on Twitter with this hire, but MS St fans are blaming him for a lot of TJ surgeries to their pitchers .. Twins fans are also melting so seems like a good hire and MS fans are just salty after their brothers won the natty today!

Holy shite. That’s insane that a college baseball program, can hire away an MLB coach, at that same position.

Pretty good hire

Just glancing at team era sinc he arrived to Minnesota

2019: 7/30
2021: 27/30
2022: 9/30

Didn't count 2020 due to covid

His best season was his first ranking 7th out of 30 teams in total team era.

Just providing a stat for other data geeks.

Key factor in this hire: both Johnson’s put their pencil/pen in their hat when not in use which is the first thing Jay was looking for
