LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State head baseball coach Mike Kirby made his first hire since taking the helm of Aggie baseball, hiring Michael Pritchard as an assistant coach.
"I couldn't more excited to welcome Mike Pritchard to the Aggie family!" Kirby said. "Mike has tremendous character and brings a great deal of energy, enthusiasm and a tremendous work ethic to the clubhouse. His teaching ability and the way he connects with players is really special."
Pritchard comes to Las Cruces with some familiarity with Kirby after spending the last two seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska and also played for the Huskers from 2011-14.
