West Virginia University Baseball Coach Randy Mazey Leads Team to First-Ever NCAA Super Regional
MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University baseball coach Randy Mazey is on a mission to lead his team to their first-ever appearance in an NCAA Super Regional. After announcing his plans to retire at the end of the 2024 season, Mazey has been determined to make this season a memorable one for his players.
Despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players, Mazey has instilled a sense of belief and determination in his team. As they prepare to face off against North Carolina in a best-of-three series, Mazey is focused on ensuring that his players have the opportunity to experience the thrill of competing at the highest level.
“This is in no way about me or how good I feel about doing it,” Mazey said. “I want to win a Super Regional for these guys. They will remember it for the rest of their lives.”
Mazey’s emotional investment in his players is evident as he speaks about his desire to see them succeed. He emphasizes the importance of playing for each other and for the entire university, community, and state.
As the underdogs going up against a formidable North Carolina team, Mazey is using the doubt and skepticism from outsiders as motivation for his players. He believes that by focusing on winning one inning at a time and playing with confidence, his team can overcome the odds and secure a spot in the College World Series.
With left-hander Derek Clark set to start the opener, Mazey is confident in his team’s ability to compete at a high level and give their all in pursuit of victory. As they embark on this historic journey, Mazey’s leadership and passion for the game will undoubtedly inspire his players to give their best effort on the field.
The stage is set for an epic showdown between West Virginia and North Carolina, and Mazey and his team are ready to leave it all on the field in pursuit of their dreams.
