Jauss helped three Eagle pitchers hear their names called in the 2022 MLB Draft and led the team to a 2.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2023, which was ranked No. 26 in the country.
Puccio has Big Ten baseball experience and comes to Penn State from Northwestern, where he was the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator for the Wildcats. He served as the head coach at Nichols University before his tenure at Northwestern.
