Former Major League Hurler Bootcheck Named Pitching Coach
#frm_content-name#-Georgia StateATLANTA -- Former Major League pitcher Chris Bootcheck has been named pitching coach at Georgia State, head coach Greg Frady announced.
Bootcheck, a right-hander, played in seven Major League seasons from 2003-13, primarily with the Los Angeles Angels, the team that selected him out of Auburn in the first round of the 2000 MLB Draft.
Bootcheck has college coaching experience after assisting with the pitchers at NAIA program Georgia Gwinnett College, which reached the NAIA World Series in 2014 in just its second season of existence. That year, two Georgia Gwinnett pitchers and one catcher were selected in the MLB Draft.
