Tadlock names Jacob Evans Director of Pitching Development

Evans posted a 1.67 ERA in his final season at Oklahoma, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors. His college career included 16 wins and 17 saves, showcasing a versatile arm. This move signals a significant effort to refine Tech's bullpen and starting rotation at Rip Griffin Park, especially given the program's recent inconsistencies.

For Lubbock fans, especially those packing the stands down Marsha Sharp, this hire means a serious upgrade in how Tech's pitchers are prepped. It shows Tadlock is pushing hard to get back to Omaha, a goal always top of mind for Raiderland baseball. This directly impacts the quality of baseball we'll see on game days, hopefully bringing more consistent wins and deep tournament runs.

Evans was a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, proving he brings both brains and serious arm talent to the Red Raider dugout.
