Coached guys like Blaine Knight and Kevin Kopps at Arky. Couldn’t name anymore without doing some research.

Blaine went 11-0 during their CWS run if I remember right and Kopps won the Golden Spikes

I want Wes to be DVH’s replacement when he retires…but Vitello recruited both the pitchers you reference and Kopps won the Golden Spikes last season, after a pretty mediocre career to that point. So credit to him goes to his 3 year pitching coach Hobbs.

Johnson was good when here, even though it was just for a season. State fans do blame him for lots of TJ issues, but he wasn’t in Fayetteville long enough for me to attest to that.
