Andy McCall enters his second season on the Gulf Coast coaching staff in 2024. He helped coach a Bulldogs team that finished second in the MACCC with 54 home runs and saw two players among the nation leaders in homers.

Third baseman Charlie Keller and outfielder Sean Smith finished 1-2 in the conference, with Keller’s 16 leading the way despite missing 16 games because of injury. He finished 13^th in the NJCAA in that category, while Smith hit 15.

Smith was one of five Bulldogs who signed to continue their playing careers at four-year schools. He’ll be at Georgia Southern with pitcher Adam May signing at William Carey, first baseman/designated hitter DJ Walker at LSU Shreveport and pitchers Sam Mansell and Nate Anderson at Mobile. 

McCall spent the previous 10 seasons coaching at Spring Hill, his alma mater. He was a graduate assistant for three years before becoming a full-time assistant in 2014. McCall helped the program transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II. He coached one NAIA All-American and one NCAA Division II SIAC Player of the Year at SHC.

He has also coached in collegiate summer ball, starting as an assistant with Laramie of the Mountain Collegiate Baseball League in 2012. The next year, he was the head coach of the Socastee Sharks in Myrtle Beach, S.C., part of the Beach Collegiate League. The Sharks won the regular-season title with a 21-7 record, and he coached the Mobile Pirates in the Deep South Collegiate League in 2014.

McCall had an outstanding playing career as a Spring Hill outfielder. He hit .335 from 2007-10 and still holds the school’s single-season record for triples (6). He did that in his senior season when he hit .353 with 44 RBI. A two-year starter, he finished with 81 RBI.

McCall played at De Smet Jesuit in St. Louis, Mo., and in 2005 helped lead his team to the state finals.

McCall has two sons, Jackson, 7, and Sawyer, 5.
