Blacksburg, Va.– Whit Babcock officially introduced John Szefc (pronounced CHEF) as the new head coach of the Virginia Tech Baseball program Thursday.
“His name came up very early in the process,” Athletic Director Whit Babcock said. “When we started doing our homework behind the scenes it came up early and often. We certainly liked his track record and resume”
Szefc was competing in the NCAA Regional tournament with Maryland at the time.
“What a privilege and an honor and it is to stand here as Virginia Tech’s Head Baseball Coach,” Szefc said. “Having read about whats been going on here as far as the trend upward and the successful [hiring of] one coach after another; from an outsider looking in, that’s something pretty special.
