Eric Wedge departs from baseball program

Eric Wedge will not return as head coach of the Shocker baseball program.

Director of athletics Kevin Saal announced Wedge’s departure from the program this evening in a press release. In October, Wedge stepped away from the program temporarily to focus on personal health related matters.

Loren Hibbs took over coaching duties in October as interim head coach in October and will remain in that position. He will be assisted by current coaches Mike Pelfrey, Mike Siranni, Nate Brisco and Connor Behrens.

“I want to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Coach Hibbs, our baseball staff, and our incredibly strong group of student-athletes and their families,” Saal said in a press release.
