Head Coach Matt Parrington

Matt Parrington is entering his 13th season as head baseball coach at Macalester College and was the 2011 MIAC Coach of the Year after leading Macalester to its first conference championship in 61 years. He has 197 wins, which makes him the all-time school leader in that category.

Parrington is a ’91 graduate of Minnesota State University – Mankato, an NCAA Division II college in southern Minnesota, where he earned an undergraduate degree in Mass Communications. He enjoyed a career as both an outfielder and pitcher and was a member of three North Central Conference championship teams while playing under ABCA Hall of Fame Head Coach Dean Bowyer.

Parrington earned a Master’s degree in Sport Administration from MSU in 1993. He came to Macalester College from the Milwaukee Brewers front office in the fall of ’96, where he served as a sales manager in the season ticket and group sales office. Parrington currently resides in his hometown of St. Louis Park, Minn., with his wife Karen.

NicholsoN Field

Constructed while the Leonard Center was being built, Macalester’s new softball and baseball fields are located adjacent to each other on the southwest corner of the campus, just west of the stadium. The cozy dimensions and high outfield dimensions of the Nicholson Baseball Field have made for exciting games. An indoor press box overlooks both diamonds and the dugouts are spacious and comfortable.
