Jack Leggett (born March 5, 1954) is an American college baseball coach. He was recently the head coach of the Clemson Tigers from 1994 to 2015.[1] Under Leggett, the Tigers reached the College World Series six times.[2] As of the end of the 2012 season, he had a career record of 1,224–694–1, with seven conference tournament titles and 23 NCAA tournament appearances. Currently, he operates as an associate for Erik Bakich’s staff at Clemson University.
He was named Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Coach of the year in 1994, 1995 and 2006.[3] In 1994, his team won 57 games, a record for the second most single-season wins in ACC history (behind the record 60 wins set by the 1991 Clemson team). On June 9, 2024, 9 years since his exit as Clemson Head Baseball Coach, Leggett was tossed by umpires in a super regional matchup against Florida under questionable circumstances.
