Baseball Loses Two Assistant Coaches

The 2023 LSU baseball coaching staff will look vastly different from this past season.

Pitching coach Jason Kelly (Washington) and third base coach/lead recruiter Dan Fitzgerald (Kansas) have both accepted head coaching jobs after just one season in Baton Rouge.

Prior to LSU, Kelly spent seven seasons with Washington as the Huskies’ pitching coach. Kelly was named the assistant coach of the year by D1Baseball.com and helped Washington make their first ever trip to the College World Series in 2018. Kelly would leave Washington in 2020 for Arizona State where he held the title of pitching coach for two seasons before arriving at LSU.
