Tyler Zupcic is in his second year as East CaroliÂna’s director of baseball operations after officialÂly accepting the position on Jan. 10, 2016.
Zupcic, a four-year letterwinner at Appalachian State University, will handle a variety of administrative duties, includÂing team travel, game-day organization, summer and winter camps, special events coordination and community outreach efforts with the Pirate program.
Prior to his appointment at ECU, Zupcic spent the 18 months as an asÂsistant baseball coach at Providence High School, located in Charlotte, N.C. The Panthers, who were ranked No. 21 nationally by MaxPreps.com, posted a 31-4 record and claimed the 2015 NCSHAA 4A state title with a 10-2 victory over Millbrook – their first championship since 1995.
During his tenure with the Panthers, Zupcic worked directly with outÂfielders and hitters, while covering day-to-day responsibilities of field set up, facility maintenance and practice duties. He also assisted with equipment purchases, inventory documentation and overall uniform and equipment maintenance.
A three-time team captain for the Mountaineers, Zupcic appeared in 217 games (214 starts) over four seasons batting .326 (268-for-821) with 10 home runs, 61 doubles and 117 RBI. He finished his career ranked among the program’s all-time leaders in games played (second), at-bats (third), hits (third), runs (third/193), doubles (t3rd), total bases (fourth/375), stolen bases (t5th/45) and walks (ninth/94).
The Charlotte, N.C. native helped Appalachian State to three 30-plus win campaigns including a 41-18 record and an NCAA Regional appearÂance in Charlottesville, Va. as a junior in 2012. The Mountaineers notched wins over No. 23 Oklahoma (5-4) and No. 15 Virginia (6-5) before dropÂping the next two contests to the Sooners and closing the year just four wins shy of reaching the College World Series. Zupcic, who earned 2012 Second-Team All-Southern Conference honors, batted .338 (71-for-210) with a pair of home runs, 17 doubles, 34 RBI and scored a team secÂond-best 54 runs.
Zupcic received his bachelor’s degree in communication from AppaÂlachian State in 2014.
