Extra Inning Softball is reporting that Arizona softball has lured away an SEC coach for the fourth spot on its coaching staff. Josh Bloomer, who is the current hitting coach at South Carolina, will apparently join Caitlin Lowe’s staff. With the addition of Christian Conrad as the pitching coach, it will complete the Wildcats’ coaching staff for the 2023-24 season.
Bloomer helped the Gamecocks to a 40-22 record this season, including a 9-15 record in SEC play. The team advanced to the championship game of the SEC Tournament before falling to Tennessee 3-1.
