After serving as LSU’s director of baseball operations for a little over a year, [autotag]Josh Simpson[/autotag] is on to his next venture. He will be joining former LSU pitching coach [autotag]Wes Johnson[/autotag] in Georgia as the recruiting coordinator.
Simpson came to LSU after working as a scout for the Texas Rangers in the MLB. There’s no better way to exit a program than to go out on top and that’s what the Tigers did in Simpson’s only season on the Bayou.
We will be keeping an eye on who LSU will hire as their new director of baseball operations. The Tigers recently hired Nate Yeskie to fill Wes Johnson’s position as the new pitching coach. There is no timeline on how long it will take to hire a new director of baseball operations.
I’m sure there will be no shortage of applicants trying to join a team that just won the 2023 national championship.
SCOOP: @BaseballUGA head coach Wes Johnson is rounding out his coaching staff with recruiting coordinator Josh Simpson. Simpson, a former @Rangers scout, spent the last year as the Director of Operations for @LSUbaseball. Simpson joins Will Coggin and Brock Bennett at #UGA.
