Sean Ochinko's name came up quite often at LSU coach Paul Mainieri's annual summer press luncheon Monday (July 23).
Mainieri mentioned him when talking about good, vocal catchers in LSU history. He talked about him as a former LSU undergraduate assistant who went on to better things.
But it was when Mainieri was asked about his 2019 coaching staff that Mainieri gave Ochinko the most air time.
Mainieri announced Monday that Ochinko will stay on as the volunteer hitting coach, and Micah Gibbs will remain in his role as director of player development.
Ochinko was elevated to hitting coach in January when Gibbs severely injured his knee during a pickup basketball game and underwent surgery.
