According to sources, Corey Muscara, a former Wake Forest pitching standout and 2023 D1Baseball “Assistant Coach of the Year,” has finally agreed to personal terms with Duke University to become their new head coach. This move has college baseball circles buzzing and marks a significant change in the ACC’s baseball landscape.
Muscara transformed Wake Forest’s pitching staff into a college baseball powerhouse, earning widespread recognition for leading the Demon Deacons to the lowest ERA, WHIP, and hits-per-nine rates in the country in 2023. Under his direction, an outstanding Draft class and four of the conference’s highest ERAs were produced. Durham is already hearing rumors that Duke’s management has acted quickly to hire him as their next head coach.
Insiders reveal that personal terms have been agreed upon, with only final contractual formalities left to complete, but the university has not yet made an official announcement. If confirmed, this hire would be a statement of Duke’s intention to improve its baseball program by combining their competitive ACC goals with Muscara’s data-driven coaching style and talent for developing pitchers.
Muscara would take on a position where accuracy and output are critical. Both fans and pundits are interested in seeing how soon Muscara can instill his winning culture and outstanding pitching background on Durham’s squad as the team gets ready to rebuild.
