First-year MSU head baseball coach Jake Boss Jr. named two of his assistants on Tuesday — Mark Van Ameyde and Bill Gernon.
Van Ameyde was the pitching coach under Boss at Eastern Michigan last season. He and Boss helped the Eagles win the 2008 MAC West Division title and the MAC Tournament Championship.
Gernon served as head coach of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne for nine seasons and is the winningest coach in the program’s history. He averaged nearly 20 wins per season during his tenure at IPFW.
Boss, a Lansing native, was hired July 1 to replace David Grewe who resigned in June to accept a coaching position with Louisiana State.
