BASEBALL nice hire

Lemonis arrived in Bloomington in 2015, replacing former IU head coach Tracy Smith after his departure to Arizona State following the 2014 season. Lemonis helped IU earn its only three at-large NCAA tournament births in program history in each of the three years (2015, 2017 and 2018) qualified for the postseason under his watch.

Additionally, Indiana hauled in the nation's 29th-, 61st-, 39th- and 39th- best recruiting classes in each of the last four years under Lemonis, according to PerfectGame.org's college recruit rankings.

The success from the first three classes saw 13 individual players get selected in the MLB Draft - including four this month in right-handed pitcher Jonathan Stiever, left-handed pitcher Timmy Herrin, right fielder Logan Sowers and third baseman Luke Miller.
 
The pitching coach hire has a pretty impressive resume! Can’t imagine we can pay him what he was making at IU? Mags was getting a paltry salary, all things considered. Props to the Admin for opening up the checkbook some.
