Georgia assistant Josh Simpson returning to LSU baseball staff

Josh Simpson is returning to LSU after one season under Wes Johnson at Georgia.

[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] is adding a familiar face to the baseball staff as [autotag]Josh Simpson[/autotag] is returning to LSU to serve as an assistant coach in 2025, the team announced on Monday.

Simpson spent the 2024 season as an assistant coach at Georgia under [autotag]Wes Johnson[/autotag], who took that job after spending 2023 as the Tigers’ pitching coach. Simpson served as LSU’s director of operations in 2023 after spending 2016-22 as a scout for the Texas Rangers.

He was also previously the head coach at New Mexico Junior College from 2008-15. Before that, he was a hitting coach at Central Arizona College, a volunteer assistant at New Mexico and a head coach at Lamar Community College in Colorado.

After a disappointing conclusion to the 2024 season, Johnson has added quite a transfer portal haul, and he also seems to be reworking the staff.
