My family and I could not be more excited to become a part of the Starkville community. Our team and our staff understand the tradition and pride in Mississippi State baseball and will be relentless in our pursuit of our first national championship.The 37-year-old arrived in Starkville after serving as hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at LSU under head coach Paul Mainieri since July 2014. Cannizaro made a tremendous impact in two seasons with a dynamic ability to develop hitters and an aggressive base running prowess. He coached six Tiger batters to All-America recognition and 11 hitters were drafted. Five were selected in the first five rounds.One of his top protégés, Alex Bregman, became the highest drafted batter in LSU history, going No. 2 overall to the Houston Astros in the 2015 MLB Draft. It took Bregman, a two-time All-American and Golden Spikes Award finalist, just one year to reach the Big Leagues.In 2015, Cannizaro made an immediate impact as the Tigers finished among the NCAAs top seven in five different offensive categories. LSU led the nation in base hits (762), while finishing third in stolen bases (130), third in doubles (146), fourth in batting average (.314) and seventh in runs scored (451). The total stolen bases were the most by the program in 28 yeaars since the 1987 club tallied a school-record 156. Caleb Joseph Diamondbacks Jersey. He helped guide LSU to an SEC championship and the 2015 College World Series. Seven of Cannizaros hitters were drafted that year, including Bregman.Cannizaros leadership during the 2016 campaign might have been his finest work. Despite losing eight starters from their prolific lineup of 2015, the Tigers still managed to boast one of the SECs top offenses. LSU finished the year ranked first in the SEC in stolen bases (95), second in runs (426), second in triples (21), third in scoring (6.5), third in on-base percentage (0.385) and third in slugging percentage (0.422). The Tigers reached an NCAA Super Regional and four players were selected in the 2016 MLB Draft.A record-breaking base stealer as a player, Cannizaros aggressiveness on the base paths has carried over into his coaching career. Since 2015, no SEC team has stolen more bases than the Tigers (225). That two-year total is 31 better than the SECs next closest, Vanderbilt (194).Before his time at LSU, Cannizaro worked as a Yankees scout from 2009 through 2014, evaluating and recruiting amateur players in preparation for the annual MLB Draft. He was the Yankees official representative at the 2013 and 2014 MLB Drafts. He also worked as the advance scout for the team as it prepared for the 2011 and 2012 playoffs.Cannizaro was the Yankees seventh-round selection in the 2001 MLB Draft, and he played in the organization for seven seasons, reaching the Major League level in September 2006. He joined the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008 and was on the clubs big-league roster for the first two months of the season. He later played for the AAA affiliates of the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox before retiring from the game in September 2009.During his Major League career, Cannizaro played and learned under Hall of Famer Joe Torre and World Series champion Joe Maddon.Cannizaro, a four-year starter at shortstop for Tulane (1998-2001), led the 2001 Green Wave squad to the first College World Series appearance in school history, batting a remarkable .395 with 118 hits, 34 doubles, 70 RBI and 52 stolen bases.A two-time all-America and three-time all-Conference USA performer, Cannizaro is Tulanes all-time leader in games played (248), at-bats (1,030), hits (350), doubles (85) and stolen bases (128).
