STARKVILLE — Andy Cannizaro is expected to be out as Mississippi State’s baseball coach after just three games into his second season, according to multiple reports.
The school hasn’t confirmed the dismissal, but it is expected to happen on Tuesday morning. 247Sports.com first reported the story, and WCBI has confirmed it.
Cannizaro, 39, was introduced on Nov. 5, 2016, the same day John Cohen officially took over as MSU’s athletic director. Cannizaro led the Bulldogs to a super regional last season. Before joining MSU, Cannizaro was LSU’s hitting coach and recruiting director for two years.

He leaves with a 40-30 record after Mississippi State opened the 2018 season by being swept at Southern Miss. 247 reported Cannizaro's dismissal will be with cause, indicating it is not related to wins or losses.
As of earlier tonight, players had not been notified of the move, sources said. Pitching coach Gary Henderson is expected to take over for the rest of the season, 247Sports reported. Henderson would be a logical choice; he was Kentucky's head coach for eight seasons as Cohen’s successor before joining MSU.
The Bulldogs visit Jackson State on Wednesday for their fourth game of the season.
