Corn joins the Flying Fleet after spending last season as the pitching coach at in-state junior college powerhouse, Spartanburg Methodist College. The Pioneers saw an immediate impact on the mound with Corn leading the charge in 2023. SMC collected 404 strikeouts in 358.1 innings pitched as a staff last season, averaging over 10 strikeouts per 9 innings. Corn also showed the ability to keep hitters at bay as the Pioneers surrendered the fewest amount of home runs (29) in Division-1 Region 10 over the course of 52 games. SMC also led D1 Region 10 in earned runs (194) as opponents managed just a .236 batting average against Corn’s staff, who also totaled three shutouts on the season. Corn and his pitching staff helped the Pioneers to an impressive 21-10 record at home in 2023.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Coach Corn to our Erskine Baseball family,” Head Coach Mark Crocco said. “Coach Corn has already built a reputation among his peers as a relentless recruiter, proven winner and has a clear vision to develop competitors on and off the field.”
