Grady Moorhead

Position: Assistant Coach Alma Mater: Arizona State, 2009

Grady Moorhead enters his second season at Southern Miss after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Mesa Community College where he worked under coach Jon Malgradi.

In his first season as an assistant with the Golden Eagles, Moorhead, who oversees the catchers and coaches first base, saw his catchers improve their batting averages by more than 200 points from the previous season while the numbers of steal attempts and bases stolen were both notably down from previous years.

In their time together, the Lady Thunderbirds compiled a record of 102-76 including a second place finish in the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference in 2011. Their squad won the program's first conference title in 2010 and also hosted the Region 1 tournament.

Moorhead primarily served as the catching coach and in his time at Mesa, all four of his catches graduated on to NCAA programs on softball scholarships. He also helped develop two All-Americans, five All-Conference team members and five All-Region honorees.

Moorhead is in charge of catchers, left-handed hitters and assists in preparing scouting reports and film analysis.
