FROM CBB NEWS SOURCEJohnson_Derek

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin announced today that he is promoting Derek Johnson to Associate Head Coach.

Johnson has spent the last eight seasons as the Commodores pitching coach and is regarded as one of the top teachers in collegiate baseball.

“DJ’s is very deserving of the title of Associate Head Coach in so many ways,” said Corbin. “Not only is he in a very small class of great pitching coaches in the country, he serves as an ambassador and role model to the kids and our baseball program here at Vanderbilt.”

Last season the Commodore pitching staff sported a 4.66 earned run average, fourth best in the Southeastern Conference. Vanderbilt finished among the top five in the conference in nine statistical categories, and led the league in shutouts (six) and complete games (six). Junior Mike Minor was drafted by the Atlanta Braves with the seventh overall pick in the draft, marking the fourth Vanderbilt hurler to be selected in the first round during Johnson’s tenure.
