Report: South Carolina baseball coach Mark Kingston returning for 2023
South Carolina baseball will have at least one more season under head coach Mark Kingston, according to a report.
D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers reported Friday night Kingston will return for his sixth year and fifth full season with the Gamecocks.
Kingston took over before the 2018 season, taking the Gamecocks to a Super Regional. Since then the results have been mixed with South Carolina making just one tournament appearance in the past three full seasons with one COVID-shortened year.

In the years the Gamecocks missed the tournament it was record-wise some of the worst over the previous 50 years. South Carolina finished .500 in 2019 with eight SEC wins and went 27-28 this season, the first losing season since 1996.
If South Carolina fired him this year before July 1, 2022 the Gamecocks would owe him $2.2 million dollars. That buyout number would drop on that date to $1.4 million. Kingston signed an extension after last season, which ended in a regional.
