Former Michigan State coach Danny Litwhiler going into College Baseball Hall of Fame

Danny Litwhiler helped make baseball stars out of Steve Garvey and Kirk Gibson. He is created with creating the concepts for the pitching radar gun and infield drying solution.

Now, the former Michigan State coach is heading into the College Baseball Hall of Fame.

Litwhiler, the first Spartan to enter the College Baseball Hall of Fame, is part of the 14-man class announced Thursday. He will be inducted during a virtual ceremony June 26.

“We’re extremely thrilled for not only Danny Litwhiler, but the entire Litwhiler family, for this honor,” current MSU coach Jake Boss Jr.
