Biography
Steve "Hoot" Johnigan is in his sixth season as a coach with the Baylor softball program. Johnigan, who served as an assistant coach on Baylor's baseball team for 20 years, spent five years as Associate Director of Athletic Facilities and Operations in addition to serving as the color analyst for Baylor baseball broadcasts from 2016-2021. Johnigan is no stranger to the softball program as he filled in as the hitting coach during the 2019 season when associate head coach Mark Lumley suffered a hip injury. In 2025, Hoot played a key role in Baylor's offensive production and outfield play, highlighted by the historic season of Shaylon Govan. Under Johnigan's guidance, Govan became just the second three-time All-American in program history, earning Big 12 batting champion and Scholar Athlete of the Year honors while setting a Baylor single-season record with a .587 on-base percentage. Govan closed her career as the program's all-time leader in walks (143) and on-base percentage (.558).
