University of South Carolina Upstate

Adam Brown is in his second season as the associate head coach/recruiting coordinator with the USC Upstate baseball program.

Brown came to Upstate from Morehead State where he helped lead the Eagles to their first OVC Tournament Title in 2015. Brown's pitching staff led the conference and set the OVC record for strikeouts (570) in 2018, en route to winning the OVC Tournament title and participating in the NCAA Clemson Regional. In 2016, the offense again ranked near the top of the league and nation, ranking second in school history (only to the 2015 season) in six stats categories in the MSU record book. He was selected as the Ohio Valley Conference best recruiter by D1Baseball.com in 2016.
 
Prior to Morehead State, Brown made stops at Louisburg College, a junior college in Louisburg, NC, Gardner-Webb University and Winthrop University.

At Louisburg, Brown served as the Hurricanes pitching coach.  His other responsibilities included assisting in recruiting, coordinating the strength and conditioning program, compiling scouting reports, assisting with academic monitoring and directing all baseball camps. 
 
Brown spent the 2011 season as a volunteer assistant coach under Head Coach Rusty Stroupe at Gardner-Webb.  He spent most of his time developing the GWU catchers and hitters.  Other major responsibilities included compiling scouting reports and maintaining newly renovated Bill Masters Field.  Brown also assisted when needed with the pitching staff.
 
Brown's first year of college coaching was spent as the Director of Baseball Operations under Head Coach Joe Hudak at Winthrop University.  For the 2010 season, Brown served as camp director, assisted with academic monitoring, assisted with on campus recruiting, scheduled team travel and handled numerous administrative duties.

The summer before joining the Winthrop coaching staff, Brown spent with the Columbia Blowfish of the Coastal Plain League, serving as the first base coach and hitting coach.

Immediately after graduating college, Brown took a job as a mathematics teacher and assistant varsity baseball coach at Summerville High School.  Just four years earlier, Brown had helped Summerville win its first AAAA State Championship in 19 years.  Fifteen players signed to play baseball at the collegiate level, five with NCAA Division I schools and 10 with other levels. 

Brown graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Charleston Southern University.  He was recognized as a Scholar Athlete in six of his eight semesters. On the baseball field, he was a four year letterman playing all infield positions.  

Coach Brown is married to Alyson LaVigne Brown and the couple has two daughters, Adason Montgomery and Anslee Monroe.
