Auburn Baseball’s coaching staff will undergo some changes this offseason.
Sources say former Auburn and 17-year MLB veteran Tim Hudson will step down as a volunteer assistant. The move has yet to be confirmed by the team.
Hudson, a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame, just completed his 3rd season as a volunteer assistant, where he coached the pitching team and developed 8 MLB draft picks, including day one picks RHP Blake Burkhalter (2022 – 2C) and RHP Tanner Burns (2020 – CB-A). Before coaching at Auburn, he spent 17 years in Major League Baseball, with the Athletics, Braves and Giants, where he won a World Series and was a four-time MLB All-Star.
Sources say Hudson’s likely replacement is Daron Schoenrock. He coached with Butch Thompson at Mississippi State and just completed an 18-year stint as head coach at Memphis, where he had 437 wins and was the 2013 Coach of the Year. the American Conference.
It is believed that Hudson will join the staff of the local private Lee-Scott Academy; his family recently transferred there for his final year.
Hudson was part of a coaching staff that helped the Tigers earn the staff’s first victory in Omaha in the College World Series this season.
