Mark Scalf ’80, the all-time winningest coach at UNCW and in the Colonial Athletic Association, retired from coaching baseball following the 2019 season, one that saw the Seahawks win their sixth CAA tournament championship and advance to the NCAA Regionals for the tenth time.

A native of Cary, N.C., Scalf first walked on Seahawk turf as a freshman infielder in 1977 and graduated with a degree in physical education. He rejoined the baseball program as an assistant coach in 1984 and was elevated to head coach in June 1991.

The Seahawks won nine CAA regular season championships and six CAA Tournament titles with Scalf at the helm. He twice served as an assistant coach on Team USA’s Collegiate National Team and celebrated his 941st and final career victory with a CAA Championship vs. Elon on May 26, 2019.

Former players, 81 of whom went on to play professionally, have noted how Scalf inspired them to be better versions of themselves and brought a community of UNCW fans, faculty, staff, students and alumni to Brooks Field.
