The Cowboy baseball coaching staff is staying star-studded.
Oklahoma State announced Thursday that 10-year MLB veteran Jordy Mercer, who played at OSU from 2006 to 2008, will join the Cowboys’ staff as a student assistant. He replaces Robin Ventura, who graduated in May.
“I love Oklahoma State University and especially Oklahoma State baseball,” Mercer said on OSU’s release. “I wanted to come back and finish my degree and while I was doing that, I wanted to help the baseball program win games. I am excited to work with Coach Holliday and the other coaches, and my family and I are extremely thrilled to be back in Stillwater.
