ISR #47- Florida Atlantic University Baseball Head Coach - John McCormack - Inside Baseball Recruiting
In this episode, we talked with Head Coach John McCormack;
Coach McCormack completed his 13th year atop Florida Atlantic University baseball as head coach in 2021, and 31st season with the program. He had previously served 11 years as associate head coach and seven years as an assistant coach, beginning in 1991.
In 2021, the Owls finished with 32 victories and a third-place finish in the C-USA East Division. The season started off with the team winning seven of their first eight, including a road win over then-No. 6 Florida at the Gators' brand-new ballpark. At that point, many publications had the team ranked. A couple of stumbles ended non-conference play, but the opening Conference USA weekend was a four-game sweep of Marshall at home.
C-USA would end up being one of the better conferences in the country, with four eventual NCAA regional invites. The Owls would split or win the final five league sets outright, including against No. 19 Southern Miss (followed by a road midweek win at Miami) to cap the regular season, finishing third in the division and earn the league's No. 5 seed. In Ruston at the C-USA Championship, three of the four games came against ranked foes, including a win over No. 16 Charlotte to eliminate the league's regular season champions.
