Mark Calvi (born November 5, 1969) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the South Alabama Jaguars baseball team. He was named to that position prior to the 2012 season.
Calvi lettered three times in baseball as a catcher at Nova Southeastern, and signed with the Seattle Mariners after completing his college career in 1992. He played the 1992 season with the Bellingham Mariners of the Class-A Northwest League. He then served the 1993 season as a scout for the Mariners.
After ending his time as a scout, Calvi accepted a position on the staff of FIU, where he would remain for 11 years. He became a highly regarded pitching coach, helping to lead the Golden Panthers to seven NCAA Tournaments and a Super Regional in 2001. During his time at FIU, his pitching staffs placed among the top nationally in shutouts, strikeouts, and ERA, including the 1995 campaign in which the Golden Panthers recorded 16 shutouts, tied for 6th most all-time in NCAA history.
In 2005, Calvi moved to South Carolina, where he most notably helped lead the Gamecocks to the 2010 National Championship. In that same season, he earned the Collegiate Baseball Pitching Coach of the Year Award. In 2010, Calvi’s Gamecock pitching staff led USC to the national championship, ranking in the top 10 in earned run average (seventh, 3.45), strikeouts (sixth, 8.9) and hits allowed per nine innings (third, 7.48), after posting a 2.15 ERA in seven College World Series contests, which was nearly a point lower than the next best team in Omaha. The Gamecocks led the Southeastern Conference in ERA and innings pitched, but also allowed the fewest hits in the conference.Calvi's staffs again ranked among the nation's best during his time in Columbia, finishing among the top teams in ERA, strikeouts, innings pitched, hits allowed, and many other statistical categories.
