HEAD COACH SCOTT GOOGINS

Second Season

Overall Record: 370-394 UC Record: 29-37 Alma Mater: Ohio Wesleyan

(‘92) Last Position: Xavier University -

Head Coach

Scott Googins was named the 28th head baseball coach at the University of Cincinnati on June 6, 2017 and begins his second season leading the Bearcats in 2019.

In his first season, Googins guided UC to its best finish since 2011 as the Bearcats finished at 28-28 overall and an even 12-12 in American Athletic Conference play, one of the toughest RPI conferences in the nation. UC led the nation in double plays, turned a triple-play for the fifth time in school history and earned numerous individual achievements. Shortstop Manny Rodriguez was drafted in the tenth round while pitchers Cam Alldred and J.T. Perez also were selected in the MLB draft. All three were all- conference honorees (Rodriguez and Perez on First Team, Alldred on Second), marking the first time UC has ever had two first team honorees and three total honorees in AAC history. Nine different players earned weekly conference accolades throughout the season.

In addition, Connor McVey tied for fifth all-time in single season sacrifice flies, Perez tied for fifth in starts and Alldred had the seventh-most strikeouts in a season in UC history. McVey was honored as the 2017-18 AAC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Catcher Joey Thomas landed on the Johnny Bench Award Watch List and pitcher Nathan Moore was honored as a Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar, as the awards came both on the field and in the classroom.

An impressive 23 Bearcats landed on the AAC All-Academic Team for having a 3.0 GPA or better. After posting a 3.20 fall GPA and 3.26 GPA in the spring, UC was recognized by the American Baseball Coaches Association with the Team Academic Excellence Award.

Googins made the move across town after 12 seasons as the head coach at Xavier. The all-time winningest coach in XU history, he compiled a 341-357 record with four NCAA Tournament appearances including back-to-back regional finals berths in 2016 and 2017 and six regular season or conference tournament championships.

Googins led Xaiver to a 34-27 finish in 2017. The Mus- keteers won their second-straight BIG EAST Tournament Championship and advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals for the second-straight year. Rylan Bannon was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year and the Musketeers featured six all-league selections.

During his 12 seasons at the helm at XU, Googins earned coaching accolades as the 2009 ABCA Mideast Region Coach of the Year, the 2008 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year and the 2016 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year. Addition- ally, 11 of his players were chosen in the MLB First Year Player Draft since 2005, including Seth Willoughby whose fourth-round selection by the Colorado Rockies in 2012 was the highest pick in program history.
