Mark Scalf (born October 3, 1958) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the UNC Wilmington Seahawks baseball program. He was named to that position prior to the 1992 season.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Playing career

Scalf was a four time letter winner at second base for UNC Wilmington, from 1977 through 1980.[1] The Seahawks began play in Division I in Scalf's freshman year.[8]

Coaching career

After completing his playing career, Scalf earned a graduate assistant coach position at North Carolina in 1981. He became a full-time assistant the following season, helping the Tar Heels to two Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament titles, an ACC regular season championship, and two NCAA Division I Baseball Championship appearances in his three seasons in Chapel Hill. In 1984, he returned to UNC Wilmington as an assistant to Bobby Guthrie. In 1992, he succeeded Guthrie as head coach, and has since become the Seahawks all-time win leader. Scalf has earned five Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year Awards, placed 45 players into the professional ranks, and served as an assistant coach on the 2003 and 2007 USA Baseball teams, both of which earned silver medals.[1]
