Hired by Lackawanna College in June of 2018, Mike McCarry is entering his fifth season as the head coach for the Lackawanna College Falcons in 2023.

During the 2019 season, Coach McCarry led the Falcons to a 32-17 (11-3) record. The team went undefeated in the Region 19 Tournament to claim the title and then defeated Frederick CC 2-1 in a best of 3 set to win the Northeast Championship. Lackawanna College made its first appearance in the NJCAA World Series since 2015.

After the 2020 campaign ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, McCarry’s third year saw a return to form for the Falcons, as Lackawanna College went 29-13, captured another Region 19 and East District Championship, and appeared once again in the NJCAA World Series in Enid, Oklahoma, the second such appearance in three years for the program.

The Falcons had another winning season in 2022, going 24-19 overall, and making the Region 19 Tournament championship game, before falling to Mercer County CC in the final. The Vikings went on to represent Region 19 in the NJCAA World Series in 2022.

McCarry is 94-57 in his four seasons with Lackawanna College. He has coached a Region 19 Pitcher of the Year, a Region 19 Offensive Player of the Year, three NJCAA All-Americans, and several All-Region selections in his short tenure.

A resident of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, McCarry is no stranger to Northeast Pennsylvania, having played under head coach Jamie Shevchik at Keystone College from 2003 through 2005. After his playing days at Keystone, he started his coaching career at Central Bucks West where he served as Assistant Coach from 2006 through 2008. In 2007, he took over the reins of the Colts Collegiate Summer Team, serving as both its head coach and team president. Mike started his collegiate coaching career at La Salle University, where he served as the team’s Head Assistant – Pitching Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. Most recently, McCarry served as the pitching coach for Stephen F. Austin University, a NCAA DI institution located in Nacogdoches, Texas.

As the pitching coach for LaSalle, four of McCarry’s pitchers signed professional contracts including 2013 Houston Astros 27th-round draft pick Pat Christensen.

As a recruiter, McCarry brought four NJCAA All-Americans to LaSalle as well as a pair of high school MLB draftees in Roy Morales (Miami Marlins, 12th round, 2008) and Yan Carlo Rivera (Toronto Blue Jays, 36th round, 2014).

Before his time at LaSalle, McCarry was involved with the Major League Baseball sponsored Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program. In doing so, he helped inner city baseball players in their efforts to secure collegiate opportunities.

McCarry gained extensive fund-raising experience through his involvement with the Colts Collegiate Baseball organization. Mike organized events, in partnership with local businesses, which raised upwards of $14,000 annually.

He has also been successful in providing tutoring opportunities and job search assistance for his players during their collegiate careers and after their graduation.
