Brady comes to Acadiana with impressive credentials, including a standout 2022 season at Connecticut where he helped guide the Huskies to their first Big East regular-season championship since 1997.

The Cincinnati native spent just one season at Toledo, where the team struggled to a 19-28 record with a 4.91 team ERA, before Habetz identified him as the right fit for the Ragin’ Cajuns’ needs.
