Scott Laverty - Head Coach, Chapman University

In this week's episode of the ABCA Podcast, we welcome ABCA Board Member and head coach at Chapman University, Scott Laverty.

Laverty, entering his 12th season at Chapman, has firmly established the program as one of the best in NCAA Division III, highlighted by a National Championship in 2019. Laverty began his coaching career at his alma mater, UC Riverside, in 1997. He then moved on to his first head coaching position at the University of Redlands, where he accumulated 298 wins over 14 seasons.

Beyond his on-field success, Laverty has been a vital contributor to the ABCA, serving two terms as Chair of the NCAA Division III on the ABCA Executive Committee and a member of the ABCA Hall of Fame Committee. This past June, he was nominated by the ABCA Board of Directors to serve as the incoming Fourth Vice President of the Association.  

Tune in as we dive into Laverty’s journey, his insights on building a successful program, and his contributions to the ABCA and the broader baseball community.
