LSU baseball will be looking for a pitching coach after [autotag]Wes Johnson[/autotag] took the head coaching job at Georgia. The news came at an interesting time with the Tigers in the middle of a postseason run.
LSU head coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] said LSU knew about it prior to the news breaking, and Wes Johnson will remain on staff through the tournament.
From a players standpoint, Johnson said LSU’s limited the distractions, saying, “We’re dialed in.”
“You don’t get to choose things all the time and we had a plan,” Johnson said.
LSU held a meeting on Monday about the news. Johnson said LSU already scheduled the meeting prior to the news breaking to the public on Sunday.
Johnson said he thought it was important the team got to hear this news from the coaches.
“We dealt with it well I thought. We had another meeting and briefly talked and we’re locked and loaded for now and moving forward with those pitchers,” Johnson said.
Johnson highlighted the leadership from the players, particularly [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] and [autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag].
