@MercerBaseball MERCER BASEBALL | 2020 PAGE 10 CRAIG GIBSON – HEAD COACH With a philosophy based in the concepts of striving for excellence in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the field, Mercer head coach Craig Gibson has led his alma mater to unparalleled success over 15 seasons at the baseball program’s helm.

Since taking over for the legendary Barry Myers in 2004, Gibson (543-382) has guided the Bears from the depths of the Atlantic Sun Conference to the top of the Southern Conference, all while establishing Mercer as one of the most respected programs in the southeast. Consistency has become the standard under Gibson, as Mercer is one of just five NCAA Division I programs with 35 wins in each of the last nine years, joining Florida State, LSU and Vanderbilt.

A large part of that success is due to the program’s dominance at OrthoGeorgia Park at Claude Smith Field. The program is 142-61 overall at home since the start of the 2012 campaign, including a 24-4 mark in 2014 to rank seventh in the nation with a .857 winning percentage.

A total of 24 Bears have been taken in the MLB Draft since Gibson took over in 2004. None have been as prolific as Kyle Lewis, who won the 2016 Golden Spikes Award as the nation’s top player before being selected with the 11th overall pick in the ‘16 draft by the Seattle Mariners.

The Bears have captured a number of program-defining victories over some of the nation’s elite with Gibson at the helm. Mercer has secured 18 wins over ranked foes under Gibson’s tenure including wins over No. 1 Florida (2006, 2018), No. 1 Clemson (2006), GIBSON COACHING FILE a two-game series sweep at No. 2 Miami (2007), a neutral-site win over No. 6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic (2009), a pair of YEAR W-L-T PCT.
