Travis McCall

Is in his first season as an Assistant Coach at USC Upstate. 

In six seasons at Coker College (Hartsville, S.C.), McCall amassed an overall record of 165-120-1 and led the Cobras to new heights in his tenure. McCall coached 16 All-Conference selections, 3 All-Region selections and 2 All-Americans during his time at Coker. McCall led the Cobras to three NCAA Regional appearances and three consecutive 30-win seasons. In 2017, McCall led the Cobras to their first 40-win season since 2002. The Cobras knocked off three nationally ranked teams (No. 11 University of Charleston, No. 13 Lenoir-Rhyne University, No. 22 Limestone College) and finished runner-up at the South Atlantic Conference Tournament.
 
This past season, the Cobras held an 18-7 overall record and a 3-1 record in South Atlantic Conference competition as the 2019-2020 campaign came to a halt.  
 
Prior to his stint at Coker, McCall was an assistant at King University (Bristol, Tenn.) for a trio of seasons. During his time at King, McCall helped the Tornado win more than 94 games. Under his tutelage, 15 Tornado players earned all-conference honors, and 11 were named academic all-conference. Additionally, he helped guide the Tornado to a Conference Carolinas regular season title (2013), a Conference Carolinas Tournament title (2012) and two Conference Carolinas Tournament championship game appearances (2012, 2014).
 
McCall assisted King in becoming one of the top hitting and pitching teams in Conference Carolinas during his three years. In 2014, the Tornado ranked in the top five in 13 statistical categories, including being fourth in runs (169), third in hits (350), first in doubles (64), fourth in home runs (18), fourth in runs batted in (143) and fourth in total bases (472).  On the defensive side of the ball, the Tornado were first in strikeouts (296), second in ERA (2.42) and second in shutouts (8).
 
In addition to the 15 all-conference performers, McCall has coached two-time Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year and two-time Daktronics All-Southeast Region selection Hannah Light.
 
Prior to his arrival at King, McCall served as the assistant coach at Columbus State University from 2010-2011. He helped guide the Cougars to a record of 37-16, a 16-win improvement from their previous season. CSU finished third in the Peach Belt Conference and advanced to the conference tournament.
 
McCall was a four-year letter winner for the University of West Georgia baseball team and a member of the Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll. He received his Bachelor of Science in Sports Management in 2008 and received his Master of Business Administration in 2009, both from the University of West Georgia. McCall and his wife Cassie will be moving to the Upstate of South Carolina this summer.
