Georgia finalizing deal to make Wes Johnson next head baseball coach

Georgia Baseball has reportedly found its next head coach. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, athletics director Josh Brooks and the Bulldogs are finalizing a deal to make LSU pitching coach Wes Johnson the school’s next head coach.

DawgsHQ has independently confirmed the information.

Johnson is in his first year at LSU after being hired by the Tigers this time last year. He had previously been with the Minnesota Twins for three season, leaving his role as the pitching coach for the professional organization in a move to the NCAA level that was considered to be rare at the time.

Johnson’s resume also includes stops at Central Arkansas, Dallas Baptist, Mississippi State and Arkansas.
