JONESBORO, Ark. (7/21/17) – Arkansas State head baseball coach Tommy Raffo announced the hiring of Rick Guarno, previously of UT Martin, as an assistant coach Friday afternoon.
Guarno most recently served as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator for the Skyhawks for the past three seasons, which coincided with some of the best seasons in school history. UT Martin won 30 Ohio Valley Conference games during his tenure for the most OVC wins in a three-year span in school history. Last season, UTM won 25 games, which were the most in the Division-I Era (since 1992) for the program and qualified for the OVC Tournament for just the third time in school history.
