As Ryan Ihle embarks on his first season at the new Wallace College baseball coach, he does so with the luxury of having one of the best players in the
“He’s our team leader, there’s no doubt about that,” Ihle said of Snell, a left-handed power pitcher and also a first baseman with a strong bat. “He had a solid year last year. This year when he’s on the mound, I think we want to focus just on the mound, and then in the other three games let him do his thing at the plate as well, because he was such a strong bat for us, which was kind of unexpected. We more so brought him into pitch.
Ihle takes over as head coach after the retirement of Mackey Sasser, who led the program for 25 years. “I think we don’t need to change a whole lot of what they’ve been doing in the past … making sure they’re doing the right things on and off the field, giving ourselves a chance to win as many games as possible,” Ihle said. “But ultimately making sure our guys get after it every day. We practice hard; we did that last year and I like the group this year because they seem to buy into that process.
A year ago, Ihle served as the Govs’ recruiting coordinator along with his on-the-field duties as the hitting coach. With Snell leading the way, Wallace is expected to have a solid pitching staff going into the season, which begins Feb. 3 when the Govs take part in the PCB College Baseball Classic in Panama City Beach.
