KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Former Western Michigan standout catcher Mitchell Ho has been added to the Bronco coaching staff as a student-assistant coach, looking to help the Broncos keep the momentum going after the school's first ever MAC Tournament Championship in 2016.
"Mitch is a very special individual and he will be a great addition to our staff," seventh year head coach Billy Gernon said. "He brings championship experience having helped lead us to our first ever MAC Tournament title in 2016."
Ho, a 2015 Second Team All-MAC selection, will be taking over for Will Nimke who moved on to Concordia University in Ann Arbor as a graduate assistant coach. Ho transferred to WMU before the 2015 season from The College of San Mateo in California. In 2015, he played in 37 games and had a team-best 10-game hitting streak as well as an 18-game on-base streak. Last season as one of the senior leaders, he started 50 games at catcher and had five multiple hit games. Known as one of the top defensive catchers in the MAC, Ho threw out the No. 5 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft Corey Ray in the Broncos game at Louisville in the NCAA Regionals.
