"When you step foot on this campus, it doesn’t take long to realize how committed the administration is to being competitive and developing student athletes on and off the field."With the English Field renovations and the significant contract given to bring in a coach the caliber of John Szefc who got Maryland to 3 NCAA Tournament and 2 Super Regionals in five seasons including the first NCAA Tournament in over 40 years, it's clear that Whit Babcock and the Hokies are making a serious commitment to having a competitive baseball program unlike any other time in the program's history. The commitment to a seven-year contract also makes it clear that Szefc is committed to building a strong program at Virginia Tech for more than just a couple years as he did at Maryland and Marist. While Szefc's salary is still below the average salary in the ACC, the Hokies have made another statement today to all of college baseball that they are committed to build Virginia Tech's baseball program bigger and stronger than at any previous time in the program's history.
