Texas adds Jim Schlossnagle’s assistants to Longhorns baseball staff

Three assistants follow Schloss to Texas.

In a quick move for the Texas Longhorns baseball program, the university announced three hires to Jim Schlossnagle’s staff.

After one season under Schloss with the Texas A&M Aggies, Texas adds Max Weiner as the pitching coach. Weiner served as the pitching coordinator for the Seattle Mariners from Dec. 2018 until he left for Texas A&M ahead of the 2024 season. He worked with top pitching prospects Logan Gilbert, Georgia Kirby, Bryan Woo, and Bryce Miller.

New hitting coach Michael Earley joined the Aggies staff when Schlossnagle took the job at Texas A&M. Earley was drafted by the Chicago White Sox and joined the coaching ranks in 2017.

Nolan Cain will take over as the recruiting coordinator for Texas. The former LSU Tigers pitcher played in the Detroit Tigers farm system. He returned to the Bayou as Coordinator of Baseball Ops and assistant coach from 2014 until 2021. He joined the Aggies in 2022 as an assistant coach and was promoted to Associate Head Coach this past year.

Quite a start to the Jim Schlossnagle era on the Forty Acres.
