    Player Profile

    Position:
    Volunteer Assistant Coach

    Experience:
    Third Year

    Ty Megahee is in his third season on John Pawlowski's staff at Auburn after joining the program prior to the 2009 season.

    Megahee, who works with the outfielders and also coaches first base during games, came to Auburn from Monmouth University where he was an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator, helping the team to a NCAA Regional appearance in 2009, an accomplishment he replicated in 2010 when Auburn won the SEC Western Division Title and hosted a NCAA Regional.

    In two seasons at Auburn, Megahee has seen nine players get selected in the MLB Draft and has had six players earn All-SEC honors.

    In 2010 Megahee helped Brian Fletcher and Trent Mummey earn First Team All-SEC accolades, which both parlayed into draft picks and professional contracts over the summer with Mummey going in the fourth round and Fletcher in the 18th.

    In Megahee's only season at Monmouth, he was the hitting and infield coach while also spearheading the program's recruiting efforts. In 2009 the team hit .318 and set a school record for stolen bases (100) in a single season, winning the 2009 Northeast Conference Tournament Championship and a berth in the Oxford, Miss., Regional. Four Monmouth players were named to the all-conference team and two previously undrafted players were selected during the June MLB Draft.

    Prior to his stay at Monmouth, Megahee spent three seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Mercer, where he also was an infielder for two seasons. During his coaching stint, Mercer advanced to three Atlantic-Sun Conference Tournaments and hit .292 or better in all three seasons.

    An academic all-conference selection as a player in 2005, he hit .296 as the starting shortstop for a team that increased its win totals from 11 the season before he arrived to a 28-26 mark during his senior season.
