Maryland baseball coach John Szefc received nearly a 60 percent boost in base salary in the new five-year contract he signed last week.
According to a copy of the contract obtained by The Baltimore Sun through a Maryland Public Information Act request, Szefc’s current deal is for $251,000 annually.
His previous deal, which was redone after Szefc led the Terps to the NCAA tournament in 2014, included a base salary $160,000.
The new contract was signed on June 19, around the time Sczefc’s name had surfaced as a leading candidate for a vacancy at Clemson.
Szefc led the Terps to their second straight appearance in the NCAA Super Regionals.
