McCoy Repeats as SEC Community Service Team Honoree

BIRMINGHAM – University of South Carolina junior left-handed pitcher Jake McCoy has been named to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Baseball Community Service Team for the second season in a row, it was announced Wednesday afternoon (May 13) by the league office.

McCoy is on the SEC Community Service Team for
the second season in a row. He 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.
McCoy was part of the MLK Day of Service, giving back by teaching
baseball to children in the community. McCoy’s been integral in the
Purple Hearts Homes Strikeout for Veterans Campaign and has donated
$23 (his number) for every strikeout in 2025 while bringing awareness
to Veteran housing needs. While he has not pitched this season due to
injury, McCoy still made a donation to the campaign.

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.

The Gamecocks end regular-season play with a three-game set at Vanderbilt, starting Thursday night (May 14) at 7 p.m. ET (6 p.m. CT) at Hawkins Field. The game will be streamed on SEC Network Plus.
