Coach Thompson celebrates personal homecoming back at Baylor Ballpark

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

As Baylor celebrates its annual Homecoming this weekend, all eyes will be on the timeless parade Saturday morning or the football game a few hours later. What some may not know is that a certain someone is in the midst of a homecoming of his own.

That person would be Mitch Thompson, who took the reins of the Baylor baseball program over the summer following a woeful 2022 campaign, led by former skipper Steve Rodriguez.

Neither Baylor Ballpark or Waco is a mystery maze for Thompson, who spent 18 years as an assistant coach with the green and gold.
