Auburn pitching coach Daron Schoenrock has reportedly stepped down
For the second straight season Auburn head coach Butch Thompson is looking for a new pitching coach.
Daron Schoenrock, who spent just one season on the Plains, has stepped down according to a report by Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball. Rogers added that Schoenrock “wants to be closer to family.”
Auburn’s pitching staff got off to a rough start under Schoenrock but improved throughout the season and was a major reason for their second-half turnaround. The Tigers were also without expected weekend starter Joseph Gonzalez, who only made one start due to injury.
The pitching staff finished the season with a combiner ERA of 5.76 and 502 strikeouts to 287 walks.
Thompson will now be looking for a pitching coach to pair with assistants Gabe Gross and Karl Nonemaker. Due to NCAA changes, the position will now be full-time and not a volunteer role.
