Lincoln "Link" Jarrett in an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the UNC Greensboro Spartans baseball program. He was named to that position prior to the 2013 season.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Playing career
Jarrett was a four year starter at shortstop for the Florida State Seminoles, appearing in three College World Series. He was an NCBWA All-American in 1993 and 1994, and also earned All-ACC honors. Jarrett graduated holding the Seminole records for consecutive games, at bats, and assists. He was drafted in the 22nd round of the 1994 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies. He played five years in the Rockies organization, reaching the class-AA New Haven Ravens before turning to coaching.[1][7]
Coaching career
Jarrett began his coaching career in 1999 as an assistant at Flager, where he remained for three seasons. The Saints set several school records during his tenure, and won 40 games in 2001. He returned to Florida State in 2003, helping the Seminoles to 53 wins, an ACC championship, and a super regional berth. In 2004 and 2005, Jarrett served as recruiting coordinator at Mercer. After seeing the Bears double their win total from his first season to his second and earn their first winning season since 1999, Jarrett accepted the same position at East Carolina. In Jarrett's four seasons, the Pirates made three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Super Regional in 2009. For his efforts that year, he was named Conference USA Assistant Coach of the Year by SEBaseball.com. In 2010, Jarrett moved to Auburn, where he worked for three seasons, earning Southeastern Conference Assistant Coach of the Year from SEBaseball.com again in his first season. In his time at Auburn, the Tigers appeared in three NCAA Tournaments, averaged 34 wins, and saw 19 players drafted in the Major League Baseball Draft. On July 26, 2012, Jarrett was hired at UNC Greensboro, his first head coaching position.[1][2][6][7]
