Oklahoma made the announcement via social media. It comes after On3 and Sooner Scoop’s Eddie Radosevich updated where things stand on The Crimson Corner board Saturday morning.
“Yesterday I met with Coach Skip Johnson for his annual performance review and planning for the upcoming year,” Castiglione said. “We reflected on our baseball team’s tremendously successful 2024 season that resulted in our program’s first Big 12 regular season championship and us hosting an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2010. The job Coach Johnson and his staff have done is simply remarkable.
“I’m excited to announce that, pending Board of Regents approval, we are extending our relationship and investment in Coach Johnson and our baseball program by agreeing to a new contract that will run through the 2029 season. He is deserving of that, and we look forward to more big things certainly on the horizon under Skip’s leadership.”
