Todd Interdonato is entering his second season as head coach of the Wofford baseball program. He was named head coach of the Terriers on June 26, 2007. He previously served for two seasons as an assistant coach at Wofford.
In his first season at the helm, the Terriers posted a 24-35 overall record and were 6-21 in the Southern Conference. In the 2008 SoCon Tournament, the Terriers defeated The Citadel in the opening round to advance. It was only the third trip to the Tournament in which Wofford won a game.
On the field, Michael Gilmartin earned All-Southern Conference honors for the second time in his career. Shane Kirkley had 15 home runs on the season as he finished in the top ten in the conference. The Terriers had four players with a batting average of over .300. In the classroom, Kyle Behrendt was named to the CoSIDA/
ESPN The Magazine All-District team. Overall, the team had thirteen players named to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll.
This is Interdonato’s fourth season on the staff at Wofford, spending the first two seasons as the hitting coach and offensive coordinator for the Terriers. While coaching third base, he was responsible for all offensive decisions during the game. In addition, he was the recruiting coordinator, handling all aspects of recruiting for the program.
In 2007, Wofford set school records for base hits, runs scored, doubles, home runs, total bases and RBIs. The Terriers led the nation in home runs per game at 1.71 (108 in 63 games), and were fourth nationally in slugging percentage (.519) and tenth in OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) at .903. Wofford also tied the school record for wins in a season with 30.
Interdonato’s influence on the Wofford offense began in 2006. The Terriers stole 90 bases, the second-highest total in school history. Wofford also set school records with 103 doubles, 777 total bases and 66 hit by pitch during the 2006 season.
“I have been very impressed with the energy that Todd has brought to the program,” said Wofford Athletic Director Richard Johnson. “The 2007 team was the most successful offensive team in school history. With our tournament championship and NCAA appearance, we felt that Todd was instrumental in helping us achieve that success.”
A 2000 graduate of UNC Asheville, Interdonato came to Wofford after working as an assistant coach at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College in 2005. He previously served a two-year tenure as an assistant at Gardner-Webb, where he received an MBA in 2004.
At Fort Scott, Interdonato served as the primary hitting and outfield coach while taking complete responsibility for the offensive progress of the program.
Interdonato began his coaching career as an assistant with UNC Asheville in the 2002 season where he was the primary hitting and outfield instructor. He was also responsible for placing players in summer collegiate leagues.
He has also served as a summer league coach, leading the Salisbury (N.C.) Pirates of the Southern Collegiate Baseball League. As the head coach of the Hornell Dodgers in the New York Collegiate League, he earned New York Collegiate Baseball League Coach of the Year honors in 2005.
Interdonato played his first two collegiate seasons at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, Arizona. He then received a baseball scholarship to UNC Asheville.
He was a co-captain in the 2000 season when he batted .320 with six home runs and a team-best 38 RBI. He was named a Big South Conference Player of the Week in March 2000. A first baseman/outfielder, Interdonato also saw action on the mound. He had over 25 appearances as a starter and reliever in each of his two campaigns with the Bulldogs.
After graduating from UNC Asheville, Interdonato signed a professional contract with the Evansville (Ind.) Otters of the Frontier League.
A native of Phoenix, Arizona, Interdonato currently resides in Boiling Springs, South Carolina.
