Coastal Carolina's Baseball Triumph Under Coach Kevin Schnall
In a remarkable achievement for Coastal Carolina University (CCU), baseball coach Kevin Schnall has been named the 2025 East Region Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and ATEC. This recognition comes on the heels of an extraordinary season for the Chanticleers, marked by a historic 56 wins, clinching the Sun Belt Conference Championship, and an impressive run through the NCAA Tournament that culminated in the Men’s College World Series Championship Final held in Omaha.
A Season for the Record Books
Schnall's leadership guided the Chanticleers to a quarter of the goals they sought, with a staggering 26-game winning streak that ranks fourth-longest in NCAA Division I baseball over the past five years. This season’s achievements are not merely statistics; they resonate deeply with the Myrtle Beach community, igniting pride and enthusiasm among local fans as they celebrated the team’s success together.
Breaking Ground as a Rookie Coach
What makes Schnall’s recognition even more special is that he is among a handful of first-year head coaches to lead their teams to the College World Series in their debut season. Notably, he is the only rookie coach to win his first eight games in the NCAA Tournament, a feat that has set a new standard within college baseball. His impressive track record not only showcases his coaching acumen but also highlights the potential for future successes not just for CCU but for aspiring coaches and players across the region.
