Troy Hervey enters his second season as an assistant coach for the Frostburg State baseball team in 2020. He continues to work with Bobcat pitching staff.
In 2019, the Bobcat pitching staff ranked among the nation’s best in terms of strikeouts per nine innings, at 8.6. Frostburg ranked second in the conference and landed the Bobcats at 27th in the nation for K/9.
FSU began the season with a 10-game winning streak, its longest since the Bobcats’ record-breaking 2015 campaign.
Prior to joining the Bobcat coaching staff, Hervey was the Head of Baseball for the last three summers at Camp Winadu in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. While with the summer camp, he coached and evaluated over 250 kids between the ages of 7-15 in all aspects of baseball. Hervey also organized two 12-team leagues, created coaching plans for individual kids that received private instruction and maintained five different ballfields.
Hervey acted as a volunteer assistant coach for Salem International University, located in Salem, West Virginia, from September 2015 to May 2017. He acted as the full-time pitching coach, creating charts used for scouting to better the pitching staff. While he was with Salem International, every pitching statistical category improved after his first season of coaching and the pitching staff gained an average of six miles per hour on their fastballs after he was hired.
While attending college at Ohio Valley University, Hervey played baseball for four years, was named a team captain and was a G-MAC All-Conference Honorable Mention in 2013 for pitching.
Hervey earned his Bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies in 2018 from Ohio Valley University.
