 Entering his 13th season at the helm of the Meridian Community College baseball program, Dillon Sudduth has continued the proud tradition of Eagle baseball. MCC has remained one of the MACCC’s premier programs, earning postseason berths and consistently finishing at the top of MACCC standings with an overall MACCC winning percentage of 76% as head coach.  Named head coach of the Meridian CC baseball program at the age of 26, Sudduth began his career serving as MCC’s top assistant for five years before being promoted to the head job. Sudduth has overseen over to 3,000,000 dollars’ worth of additions and facility renovations throughout his time at MCC. The Smith-Williams Fieldhouse features a big league-style player’s clubhouse, coaches' offices, and a traditional room honoring all the former Eagles. Also, a new hitting and pitching facility was constructed, and covered chair back grandstands, state-of-the-art lighting system, and infield turf have all been completed since being named head coach. In 18 total seasons at MCC, Sudduth has coached 10 All-Americans, 42 Academic All-Americans, had a 2 player selected to represent the NJCAA USA National Team, coached the school’s all-time leader in single-season and career home runs, a Ferris Award winner, signed a first-round MLB Draft pick, and had numerous All-Conference honorees. 181 players have gone on to four-year schools and 35 players have been drafted by Major League Baseball during Sudduth’s time at MCC.
