Jay Johnson loves Gorilla Ball. His memories of LSU's high-scoring, championship-winning teams of the '90s are vivid, and they're part of why he fell in love with hitting – the craft of it, the art of it, and the instruction of it. Johnson's teams at Arizona raked – they led the nation in runs in 2021 and led the Pac-12 in every major offensive category for the last two seasons. And if history is any indication, his LSU teams will do the same. Plus, Johnson talks about falling in love with coaching and the masters he emulates on this clip from the Tigers Win podcast.
