HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall University Baseball Coach Dave Piepenbrink announced today that Tom Carty has accepted a position as an assistant coach with the team. Carty will serve as the pitching coach and will assist with recruiting efforts for the Thundering Herd.
?We are very fortunate to have a coach of Tom?s caliber join our staff,? said Marshall Head Coach Dave Piepenbrink. ?Tom?s experience as a pitching coach will benefit our young pitching staff greatly.?
Prior to coming to Marshall, Carty, 29, who owns over seven years of collegiate coaching experience, served as the pitching coach for the Delaware Valley Gulls of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League. Before his tenure with the Valley Gulls, he served as the Director of Baseball Operations for North Carolina State University. His collegiate coaching experience includes stints as an assistant for West Chester University, Delaware Valley College and Montgomery County Community College, for two, one and three seasons, respectively.
?This is a tremendous opportunity,? Carty said. ?My whole career I have been searching for the opportunity to serve as a pitching coach for a quality program like Marshall.?
In his two seasons at West Chester, he served as a pitching coach and infield coach, helping West Chester produce its first all-conference pitcher in seven years.
During his three seasons at Montgomery County Community College (PA), Carty served as a pitching and infield coach where he helped guide the team to school records for wins in each season with 22 in 1995, 25 in 1996, and 29 in 1997.
