UTA baseball picks up NJCAA Hall of Famer as volunteer coach

The baseball team is bringing in Galen McSpadden, an NJCAA Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, as a volunteer coach.

Head coach Darin Thomas learned from McSpadden during his time at Seward County Community College. Thomas spent two stints at Seward County under McSpadden: the first as a pitcher in 1986 and the second as an assistant coach from 1991 to 2000.

"I am extremely excited to get a coach of Galen's caliber to join our staff," Thomas said in a press release. "Our players and coaches are really going to benefit from his experience in the college game.
