Dillon Plew and Marty Lees Dean Hare/WSU Photo Services After a season in which the Washington State Cougars won just 11 of their 51 games — and just three of their 27 conference games — baseball coach Marty Lees was fired on Tuesday by athletics director Pat Chun, the school announced via news release.
“I met with Marty this afternoon and let him know I would be making a change in the leadership of our baseball program,” Chun said. “We appreciate Marty’s four years of service at Washington State but at this time I felt a change was necessary. Baseball is one of the most storied programs at Washington State and we will work diligently to find someone to return it to a place of prominence.”
