Williams Named Associate Head Coach

8/23/2021 10:00:39 AM | Baseball

Liberty baseball head coach Scott Jackson has announced that Matt Williams has been named the associate head coach.

Williams took over as the Liberty pitching coach in the summer of 2019 and developed the Flames pitching staff into the top staff in the ASUN Conference in 2021. 

With the pitching staff leading the way, 2021 was arguably the most successful in Liberty Baseball history. The Flames secured an NCAA at-large bid for just the second time in program history, while Liberty's 41-16 (.719) record set the school mark for winning percentage in a season at the NCAA Division I level. After starting 2-5, the Flames did not lose consecutive games during the rest of the 2021 campaign.  

The Flames pitching staff was among the national leaders in several categories in 2021. Liberty finished the year fifth in the country in runs allowed per game (3.6), 12th in ERA (3.57), ninth in WHIP (1.22), 15th in shutouts (6) and 13th in hits allowed per nine innings (7.60). Along with the above, the Flames pitching also topped the league in innings pitched (501.0), strikeouts (487) and saves (15). 

Left-hander and Friday night starter Trevor DeLaite led the pitching staff, becoming the first pitcher in program history to be named a National Pitcher of the Year finalist and earn All-American honors. DeLaite recorded the most wins in school history with a 12-1 record and posted a 2.18 ERA, en route to ASUN Pitcher of the Year honors. 

 

ASUN Freshman of the Year Trey Gibson also was another Williams' pupil to earn national recognition. Both Collegiate Baseball and D1 Baseball recognized the right-hander with inclusion on their Freshman All-American first teams. In July, the Chicago White Sox selected left-hander Fraser Ellard in the eighth round of the 2021 MLB Draft.
