LSUDad Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 LSU director of baseball operations Tyler Nordgren has been hired as an assistant coach for California Baptist University. Nordgren will handle infield and outfield duties for his new squad. A member of head coach Jay Johnson’s Arizona Wildcats team during their College World Series run in 2021, Nordgren followed Johnson to Baton Rouge, serving the same role. The movement Nordgren has had in a short period of time is remarkable. Going from the high school game to Division II to Arizona in his baseball journey, he’s proven what he brings to the table at every spot. Nordgren now heads home to California.
