NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — It’s a new day for Norfolk State baseball as the Spartans introduced the sixth head coach in team history in M.L. Morgan.

Morgan, a Dinwiddie native, served on multiple coaching staffs as an assistant with Virginia Commonwealth and Randolph-Macon. Most recently, Morgan served as the Mid-Atlantic area scout supervisor for the Tampa Bay Rays.

“I was in a good situation with the Rays that I really liked,” Morgan said. “But this opportunity is one I couldn’t pass up. Just the potential, being in a recruiting hotbed in this area, then also the conference. I think it’s the opportunity to compete in the conference as well. Being the southern-most team in the conference, it’s a lot of opportunity for growth.”
