Vanderbilt Hires Catching Coach Jeremiah Boyd | College Basketball News

Vanderbilt baseball just hired Jeremiah Boyd as their new catching coach — a big move that signals serious focus on improving behind the plate. Boyd, who played college ball at Presbyterian and Middle Tennessee and even got a shot with the Arizona Diamondbacks before retiring, brings real coaching experience from training facilities in North Carolina and Tennessee. This hire comes after Vanderbilt’s catchers ranked poorly in SEC defensive runs saved — especially in pitch framing — which hurt their pitching staff’s effectiveness. With Boyd now on board, fans are hoping he can tighten things up and give the team a major boost this season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
