years at VU. I remember him as an excellent coach and maybe an even better recruiter. Turned Maryland's program around before arriving at Michigan.


Funny you mention Corbin because I was about to ask

if we can get anybody off his staff after reading part of this piece. (Note: the current pitching coach for the Reds had the same position last year with the Brewers but came from the Vanderbilt staff.)

See the link for what he looks for in a player, but here some of Corbin's credentials:

Vandy’s head baseball coach has turned what was largely a nothing program — the Commodores had all of three NCAA Tournament appearances before Corbin’s 2003 arrival — into a bona fide powerhouse.

Including the Commodores’ 2019 trip, Vanderbilt has been to Omaha four times in the past nine years, including a 2014 national title, a 2015 runner-up finish, with their 2019 ending still unwritten.

With Vandy’s run to the 2019 CWS ongoing over the weekend — the ‘Dores lost Game 1 to Duke 17-5, then rallied with wins of 3-0 and 13-2 to win the Super Regional — this 2015 interview resurfaced, and we thought it appropriate to share it here, because it’s great.


Sometimes, it really is as simple as having the right guy

We haven't had the right guy in a long, long time...
