Call him, coach Maddux

"To add arguably the smartest player to ever step foot on a baseball field to our staff is so exciting for our student-athletes and the program," UNLV coach Stan Stolte said in a press release. "We look forward to his immediate impact once we begin our fall season."

Maddux, who won a World Series in Atlanta where he pitched for a decade, will continue to serve his advisory role with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
