Arizona Wildcats general logo β€” NEW

It appears that Arizona softball coachΒ Caitlin LoweΒ has found her new assistant/pitching coach.

D1 Softball is reporting thatΒ Christian ConradΒ is filling the open spot on Lowe’s staff after the Wildcats parted ways with former UA standoutΒ Taryne Mowatt-McKinneyΒ two weeks ago.

Conrad, who has been at Loyola Marymount since December of 2020, has extensive experience on staffs of some of the most innovative coaches in the sport, including FSU’sΒ Lonni AlamedaΒ β€” as a volunteer β€” and Texas’ Mike White, when he was at Oregon – as an undergraduate assistant.

He also spent time with USA Softball and Athletes Unlimited.

While at LMU, he worked with two-time WCC Pitcher of the YearΒ Jenna Perez. The Lions went 28-22 this year, with a team ERA of 2.97.

UA did not comment on the potential hire.
