HEAD COACH SKIP JOHNSONSkip Johnson was introduced as the 10th head coach of the OU baseball program on June 19, 2017.
Johnson served as the Sooners’ pitching coach in 2017 after a 25-year coaching career in the state of Texas, including the most recent 10 years as an assistant and associate head coach at the University of Texas. In his lone season in Norman, he helped OU to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2013.
Johnson made an immediate impact on the Sooner pitching staff last season. Oklahoma pitchers surren-dered the least amount of home runs in the Big 12 in 2017 and combined for 531 strikeouts to rank fourth in the league and fourth in OU single-season history. The Sooners’ 9.26 strikeouts per nine innings ranked second in the conference. As a team, OU pitchers struck out 10 or more batters on 24 occasions.
Johnson was hired as the pitching coach at Texas for the 2007 season under Augie Garrido. In 10 seasons, Johnson helped the Longhorns to seven NCAA Re-gional appearances, four Super Regionals and three CWS.
During his tenure in Austin, 32 pitchers were selected in the MLB Draft, including 14 in the first 10 rounds and three first-round picks. Johnson oversaw the de-velopment of six UT pitchers to make it to the majors. The Texas pitching staff produced a team ERA below 3.00 on five occasions and struck out better than 7.5 per-nine-innings in five of his last eight seasons.
Prior to his time in Austin, Johnson was the head coach at Navarro College of the NJCAA’s Texas Eastern Athletic Conference. From 1994-2006, he guided the Bulldogs to 13 NJCAA Regionals, nine TEAC championships and four regional titles, while compiling 450 wins.
A standout baseball player at Denton High School, Johnson began his collegiate playing career at Rang-er (Texas) College. After a two-year career there, Johnson moved on to play baseball at the University of North Texas in 1988 before the school dropped its baseball program. He completed his collegiate playing career at UT-Pan American, lettering for the Broncs in 1989 and receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1990. Johnson earned a master’s degree in edu-cation from UT-Tyler in 1993.
A native of Denton, Texas, Johnson and his wife, Cathy, have two sons, Tyler and Garrett.

Double Take...As a freshman, Steele Walker was one shy of the Sooner rookie record with 17 doubles. His six this season has pushed his career total to 39. Walker is one away from cracking that top-20 list in the OU record book, which would tie him with Tommy Thomp-son (1976-79). In the Big 12 era, he is tied with Garrett Buech-ele (2008-11) for the eighth most since 1997.
Joining the 100-100 Club...Steele Walker surpassed 100 RBI and runs for his career against West Virginia (3/23). He became the first OU player to reach 100 in each category since Sheldon Neuse (2014-16). Beginning with Jackson Williams (2005-07), seven Sooners reached the milestone over the next seven years. Walker isjust the second to do so playing his entire career in the BBCOR era. All-time, 40 players have reached the 100-run, 100-RBI mark as a Sooner. The first to do so was Keith Drumright (1974-76) with 147 runs and 114 RBI. Walker’s former teammates Austin O’Brien (2014-17) and Hunter Haley (2013-16) were the most recent Sooners to approach the mark. O’Brien finished his career with 98 RBI and 95 runs, while Haley finished with 99 RBI and 98 runs. Both O’Brien (UCL) and Haley (wrist) suffered major injuries as seniors.
Big 12 Pitcher of the Week...Junior right-handed pitcher Jake Irvin was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week (4/2) after a career-high eight innings to beat Bay-lor (3/29) in the Sooners’ series opener. He faced the minimum through five; erasing the first two baserunners of the night on double plays Irvin id not allow a hit until there were two gone in the sixth. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks to go with seven strikeouts. It was the second weekly Big 12 honor of his career; previously earning the same award following an opening day win over No. 17 Long Beach State (2/17/17).
Big 12 Player of the Week...Junior third baseman Brylie Ware earned his second career weekly honor from the Big 12 as the conference Player of the Week (3/26). He hit a team-leading .562 (9-for-16), including .500 (6-for-12) with nine RBI in a series win over West Virginia. Ware went 3-for-4 in each of the first two games of the week, including a six-RBI game vs. the Mountaineers; the most by a Sooner since Craig Aikin’s six vs. Little Rock (3/3/15).
Senior Leader...Kyle Mendenhall has the distinction of being the only four-year senior on the OU roster; a position that has been held by just one player in each of the last three seasons. Hunter Haley was the only four-year player in 2016 and Austin O’Brien the only one in 2017. Mendenhall is building on his junior campaign, which was his best offensive season through three years at OU. A .236 career hitter, he is currently hitting .308 and driven in 26 runs, the highest total of his career through just 30 games.
Deep Threat in Center or Under Center...Sooner quarterback and outfielder Kyler Murray has made the adjustment to center field in his second year on the diamond. Murray, who threw three touchdown passes in only 21 attempts in 2017, has found his knack for the long ball this spring. He is tied for the team lead with three home runs. Murray hit his third of the season vs. Texas A&M Corpus Christi (3/9) for his first career grand slam. The grand slam capped a five-run seventh, that was tied 6-6 when the Sooners came to bat, and stood as the differ-ence in an 11-7 Oklahoma victory.
Left to Right...The Sooners have started Cade Harris, Kyler Murray and Steele Walker from left to right in the outfield in 24 games this season and all but two since opening weekend. The unit’s total starts together surpassed the Walker-Ben Hollas-Blake Brew-ster unit’s 15 from last year. Beginning with opening day 2014 through the 2015 Big 12 Championship, Hunter Haley-Craig Aikin-Taylor Alspaugh patrolled the Sooner outfield together for 82 games. Walker, who has started all but two games in his entire career at OU, is the only true outfielder of the group. Harris moved to left field last season to solidify a position that had been started by six different players, including 14 starts by Murray, until Harris started the last 17 games of the season. Murray, a high school All-American middle infielder, did not play in the outfield until last season and had previously not played baseball in the spring of 2016.
Scoring Early...OU scored in the first inning for the 13th and 14th times this sea-son against Baylor. The Sooners are 12-2 when scoring in the first inning this season; outscoring opponents 22-8 in the first. How-ever, the opposition holds a narrow 38-34 lead on runs scored in the second and third innings combined. OU is also 15-4 on the year when pushing across the first run of the game.
Two-Way Player...Cade Cavalli has started eight games at first base, two at third, one as the designated hitter and vs. Texas A&M Corpus Christi (3/10) got his first start on the mound. He is hitting .259 at the plate with 17 runs and 15 RBI. He hit a home run on just the sec-ond pitch he saw in his career vs. Indiana (2/16). Cavalli earned his first win in relief against Valparaiso (2/25). He is the first OU player to homer and win a game in a season since All-American Sheldon Neuse hit 10 home runs and went 4-1 as the Sooner closer in 2016. Jacob Evans also won six games and hit one home run in 2015; having hit a walk-off jack as the winning pitch-er vs. Kansas (4/2/15).
Behind the Dish...Three catchers have started four games or more for the Sooners this season. Sophomore Brady Lindsly has started 17 games and freshman Justin Mitchell has started nine, while junior Domenic DeRenzo has started four. Mitchell’s nine starts are already the most by a freshman since DeRenzo started 33 in 2016. OU has not had three or more catchers start four games or more since Mac James, Anthony Hermelyn and Dylan Neal in 2014.
Winning Comparison...In 35 games, including 29 starts, Jake Irvin owns a 17-5 record. His career 17 wins tied Andrew Doyle (2008-09) for the fourth most by a Sooner pitcher to take the mound in the last 10 years; surpassing Jacob Evans (2013-15). Michael Rocha (2008-11) won the most games over that period with 27 followed by Dillon Overton (2011-13) with 23. Overton won his 16th in the 47th game and 25th start of his career, while Rocha’s 16th win came in his 54th game as a Sooner.
Sundays Are For Walk-Offs...Since the 2016 season, Oklahoma has walked off a winner 12 times; all at home. Seven of those wins have come on Sundays. The Sooners added to their list of recent walk-offs this season vs. Valparaiso (2/25), Alabama (3/2) and Baylor (3/30). The latest walk-off win started with a two-out single by Kyler Murray, who got into scoring position by swiping second. Brady Lindsly then delivers Murray home with a double to the track in right-center.

Weekly Awards...Big 12 Player of the WeekBrylie Ware 3/26
New Skip in Town...Skip Johnson was introduced as the 10th head coach in OU history on June 19, 2017. He spent the 2017 season as the Soon-ers’ pitching coach and originally arrived in Norman with 24 years of collegiate coaching experience in the state of Texas. Johnson started his career as an assistant at Navarro College for one sea-son before taking the reins of the program in 1994 and winning 450 games between then and 2006. He then took on the role of pitching coach at Texas; a position he held from 2007-16.
Pitching Adjustments...During Johnson’s first season as Oklahoma’s pitching coach, Sooner pitchers surrendered the least amount of home runs in the Big 12 in 2017 and combined for 531 strikeouts to rank fourth in the league and fourth in OU single-season history. Oklahoma’s 9.26 strikeouts per nine innings ranked second in the conference. As a team, OU pitchers struck out 10 or more batters on 24 oc-casions. Sooner pitchers combined for 17 starts of six innings of more, including the first two games of the Louisville Regional started by Perez and Irvin.
Preseason All-American...Steele Walker earned preseason All-America honors from all four major media outlets prior to opening day. He was tabbed a second team selection by Baseball America and D1Baseball.com, while being named third team by Collegiate Baseball News and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. An All-Big 12 First Team pick a year ago, Walker has previously earned Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America and All-Big 12 Freshman in 2016.
A Stars and Stripes Summer...Over the summer, Steele Walker split his time between the Team USA Collegiate National Team and the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Baseball League. As a part of Team USA’s 24-man ros-ter, he hit .333 and slugged .514 in 20 games. Walker was named MVP of the teams’ two series wins over Chinese Taipei and Cuba. He became the first Sooner to play for Team USA since Brian Shackelford pitched for the Team USA CNT in 1995. Teammate Jake Irvin was invited to tryouts with Walker and represented Team USA in an early exhibition game and later was recalled for a start prior the team’s series vs. Japan.
Sooner Speedster...Kyler Murray is the fastest Sooner on the baseball diamond and perhaps the football field as well. OU’s back-up quarterback in 2017 stole a team-leading 12 bases in 13 attempts last season, including 12 in a row. He had a string of 14 consecutive success-ful stolen base attempts snapped against Kennesaw State (3/17). The Sooner record for consecutive stolen bases without getting caught is 30 by Rick Gutierrez (1993-94). On the gridiron, Mur-ray played in seven games for the Big 12 Champions and made one start. He was 18-for-21 through the air with three touchdown passes and 359 passing yards. Murray added 142 yards on the ground; averaging 10.1 yards per carry.
#YardWork...Sooner Home Run Notes:• Oklahoma hit a season-high three home runs on opening day vs. Indiana (2/16).• Cade Cavalli hit the first OU home run of the season. It came on the second pitch in his college career and marked the first by a Sooner freshman on opening day since Cameron Seitzer (2009).• Kyle Mendenhall and Steele Walker went back-to-back on opening day. Oklahoma hitters have hit back-to-back home runs in consecutive seasons. Renae Martinez and Blake Brewster accomplished the feat in 2017.
