AUBURN, Ala. – Hunter Veach will continue the role he assumed during last season as Auburn’s softball pitching coach.

Veach’s title will continue to be interim assistant coach.

Myers also agreed to a contract extension through 2023, AuburnUndercover confirmed. As reported earlier by AuburUndercover, Myers wants to see a planned major facilities upgrade through.

Myers looked around at candidates after last season, but settled on keeping Veach in charge of the Tigers’ pitchers.

“Hunter did a really good job,” Myers said.

Veach, who formerly worked as an Auburn graduate assistant, took over Auburn’s pitching coach duties last season after Corey Myers abruptly resigned the day before the Tigers went to Georgia for an SEC SEC series. At the time, Myers said he wasn’t sure Veach saw being a pitching coach as his long-term goal.

“That’s changed now,” Myers said. “That’s what he wants to do."
