Morgantown, WV – West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons has announced head baseball coach Randy Mazey has signed a three-year contract extension that has him in Morgantown through the 2025 season.

WVU has appeared in the NCAA Regional twice in the last three years and Mazey has the program arguably coming off the best season in Mountaineer baseball history finishing the year at 38-22 and hosted its first NCAA regional since 1955. The 2017 trip to Wake Forest for the NCAA Regional was their first since 1996.

Per WVU Athletic Department:

The extension puts Mazey under contract for the next six seasons with a base pay of $250,000 and supplemental pay of $165,000, bringing his yearly compensation package to $415,000. The six-year contract is worth $2.49 million. Mazey will also be eligible to receive up to a maximum of $459,000 yearly if annual performance incentives are met.

“Coach Mazey continues to build WVU baseball into a competitive Big 12 and national brand,” Lyons said. “Our program currently has great momentum, and I look forward to this continuity with Randy and his staff. Our fans have enjoyed our recent baseball success, which has turned Monongalia County Ballpark into a great baseball environment. It’s quite evident that Randy is the person we need to continue leading WVU baseball.”

“My family and I would like to thank WVU President Gordon Gee, Shane Lyons, Keli Zinn and Matt Wells for their commitment to WVU baseball and for sharing in my vision of taking Mountaineer baseball to places it has never been before,” Mazey said. “I would also like to thank the Morgantown community, the fans, all former Mountaineer players and our current players and staff for their commitment and hard work. Our program is in a great place right now and without the support of all those people, none of what we have accomplished would be possible. Let’s Go Mountaineers!”

West Virginia opens their fall schedule in Charleston September 27th at Appalachian Power Park to face the Marshall Thundering Herd with the first pitch set for 6:30, then a return trip to Morgantown during WVU homecoming weekend October 4th at Monongalia County Ball Park beginning at 6:30
