Gamecocks hire away Charleston Southern baseball coach

A familiar face is returning to South Carolina’s baseball program.

Stuart Lake, who served as a volunteer assistant for the Gamecocks from 1999-2002, has been named USC’s Coordinator of Baseball Administration and Director of Player Development, South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook announced Thursday.

Lake takes over his role at South Carolina after serving as Charleston Southern’s head coach for the past eight seasons.

In his new job with the Gamecocks, Lake’s responsibilities will include coordinating game day and practice needs for the coaches and players and incorporating technology to enhance South Carolina’s player development.

“I am honored that Coach Holbrook and his staff and players have given me this opportunity,” Lake said in a release.
