Matthew Swope knows all about building a winning baseball culture. As a young assistant coach and a player, he has played a pivotal role in the rise through the ranks for the Men’s Baseball program at the university of Maryland. He is currently in his third season as assistant coach and eighth season overall on staff at Maryland. He has been immersed in a winning culture as a part of the four winningest seasons in Maryland history as a player or staff member (2015, 2014, 2017, 2002). Swope has played an essential role in Maryland’s rise to national prominence, as the Terps captured 233 wins and advanced to three NCAA Tournaments during his time on staff. During Swope’s time in College Park, Maryland has accounted for nine All-Americans, two academic All-Americans and 32 Major League Baseball draft picks. The Terrapins advanced to their only two Super Regionals in school history (2014, 2015) and advanced to two conference tournament championship games. He joined me this week to discuss his transition from a player to a coach and his impact on Maryland Baseball. You can follow Matthew on Twitter @MattSwope19
