mud monsters name manager
Jay Pecci, 48, a former Stanford star with a wealth of professional playing and coaching experience, has been hired as the first manager of the Mississippi Mud Monsters. “Mississippi has a passionate sports community, and I look forward to helping build a winning culture that fans can be proud of,” Pecci said in a press release by the club. Pecci coached and managed in the New York Mets’ minor league chain for the past several seasons. An infielder at Stanford, he was drafted by Oakland in the 11th round in 1998 and played seven years in affiliated ball, reaching the Triple-A level, and then eight more in independent and foreign leagues. The Mud Monsters will begin their inaugural season in the independent Frontier League on May 8 at Trustmark Park in Pearl. The team has yet to announce any player signings for the 2025 campaign.
