Scott Berry, the winningest baseball coach in Southern Miss baseball history, has been selected for induction into the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame.

Ceremonies will be held at the annual ABCA Convention on Jan. 8 in Chicago.

Berry spent 23 years at Southern Miss, including the last 14 seasons as head coach. He produced 528 victories, nine NCAA Tournament appearances, two NCAA Super Regional berths and ended his career leading USM to seven straight 40-win seasons.

That streak, now extended to 10 straight seasons under Christian Ostrander, is the nation’s longest.

Berry won four conference Coach of the Year honors and coached four Boo Ferriss Trophy winners. Before joining Corky Palmer’s Southern Miss staff, Berry was the Meridian Community College head coach for four seasons. Meridian won 185 games, while losing only 58 and twice advanced to the Junior College World Series. 

Among the Mississippi coaches named to the ABCA Hall of Fame are Boo Ferriss, Dudy Noble, Rob Polk, Stanley Robrinson, Bob Braddy, Mike Kinnison, Tom Swayze, Jerry Boatner and Hill Denson.
