MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — When Randy Mazey arrived at West Virginia University in 2012, the baseball program was set to enter a brand new era in more ways than one, and it was a much-needed facelift.
With Mazey at the helm, the Mountaineers were preparing to join one of the premier college baseball conferences, the Big 12, but a lot of work needed to be done. Coming off a 23-32 final season in the Big East, a change in philosophy was in order. Also the ballpark WVU played in, Hawley Field, was far from the high standards other Big 12 programs had on their campuses.
