Per JMU, Sam Scruggs just got hired in 2025 as a pitching coach right out

of ending her college career at USCe, Charlotte, and another school - good pitcher, but...not a real coach. They have NO COACH with any experience coaching pitchers...this is what I meant...and prior to Scruggs - Herzig sometimes sat in the bullpen and did call the pitches game time and probably still does. The entire JMU pitch staff is nothing to write home about, List and Johnson. Era's 4-5. We are much better off at VT with our pitching experience and coaches

Look. You cannot say Scruggs is not a "real" pitching coach. Every . . .
MidloHokie • 06/05/26 07:19 AM ET
no burr really - but I dont view Herzig as one to coach pitchers or a pitch
U2Hokie • 06/05/26 08:15 AM ET
Well, how many non-P4 teams have three All-American pitchers in 8 years?
MidloHokie • 06/05/26 05:38 PM ET
Look - Libby Bowman was the JMU pitching coach when they beat Oklahoma and
U2Hokie • 06/05/26 10:07 PM ET
I never claimed she was a pitching coach, simply that she mentored . .
MidloHokie • 06/05/26 10:39 PM ET
Got it - so guilt by association = mentor. Go back and read what I said -
U2Hokie • 06/06/26 06:07 AM ET
Well there was Maddie Penta.
