Mountaineers baseball staff adds big-name coach with CWS credentials

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Further evidence of how much West Virginia’s baseball profile has improved, the program is filling an assistant’s vacancy with a former two-time College World Series head coach.

Dave Serrano was hugely successful at UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, reaching the CWS in 2007 and 2009 before more recently enduring a difficult six-year stay at Tennessee. His head coaching record stands at 446-302 with six NCAA appearances and four trips to the super regionals.

Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball.com first reported the move, which MetroNews confirmed through a source close to the program.
