Marietta hires Josh Davis as new baseball coach

May 27—New Marietta baseball coach Josh Davis is looking to wake a sleeping giant.

While the Blue Devils' program has produced players like current Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson and former first-round draft pick Chevez Clarke, the overall performance of the team has struggled in recent years.

After Marietta went 7-22 in 2022, continuing a run of not making the playoffs that dates back to 2015, Davis said he is hoping to bring it back to prominence.

"(Marietta) has always had good players," said Davis, who will be introduced during a meet-and-greet at the school Tuesday at 3:30 p.
