BIRMINGHAM – University of South Carolina sophomore left-handed pitcher Jake McCoy has been named to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Baseball Community Service Team, it was announced Wednesday afternoon (May 14) by the league office.

McCoy has been involved in numerous community service projects around the Midlands. He helped with the team when the Screaming Eagles came to Founders Park to play a game in the fall. He helped with the Build-a-Bike for a Child project this past Christmas. He made a donation to the SAAC Drive this year and helped with Carolina baseball’s annual Ladies Clinic in February. McCoy’s been integral in the Purple Hearts Homes Strikeout for Veterans Campaign and has donated $23 (his number) for every strikeout while bringing awareness to Veteran housing needs.

The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 22 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
