Martin has led the Lady Lions to over 600 wins in his decorated career, eight NCAA national Tournament appearances, five conference tournament titles and 11 conference regular season championships.    Martin has spent all 27 seasons as a head coach leading the Lady Lions with an impressive 651-421-1 overall record (.607 winning percentage) with his 600+ victories ranking him inside the nation’s top-50 winningest active Division III head coaches. The longtime head coach has tallied 21 winning seasons including four seasons with 30 or more wins and 2014’s 40-plus win season. Martin is also a seven-time conference coach of the year. In addition to his teams’ success on the field, Martin’s groups have been just as consistent in the classroom having ranked nationally in the top ten of the NFCA Division-III Team Academic Award three times (2003, 2008, 2009) including a runner-up finish in 2009. Additionally, over 20 Lady Lions have garnered the NFCA’s top individual academic award as All-American Scholar-Athletes during Martin’s tenure. The early part of the 2020's has brought more championships as Martin's Lady Lions captured back-to-back USA South Tournament Titles in 2021 and 2022, their last two seasons in the league. Martin earned USA South Coach of the Year honors in 2021 while he coached back-to-back conference players of the year in Katelyn Perry (2021) and Rebekah Stegmayer (2022) with Stegmayer becoming the third to be named a CoSIDA Academic All-American under his watch. The Lady Lions posted a 6-7 mark in 2020 during the COVID-19 shortened season with wins over the #3 and #13 teams in the country. Piedmont also had a player named Louisville Slugger/NFCA National DIII Player of the Week when Micaela Quesada went 7-for-16 (.438) for the tournament with three homers, four walks and 10 RBI. All three home runs came against NFCA top-13 teams in Christopher Newport, Rowan and Randolph-Macon.    The 2019 Lady Lion team made history hosting its first NCAA regional making the regional championship game finishing as runners up to top-seeded Emory University. The 2019 Lady Lion team finished 31-12 marking Martin’s fourth 30+ win season at Piedmont. Martin has led 11 individuals to “of the year” honors in the USA South including Melissa Eckman taking Rookie Pitcher of the Year honors and twice earning Pitcher of the Year honors during her career. He has led three Lady Lions to Rookie of the Year honors (Olivia Duncan, Jessica Bagwell, Hannah Hoban) as well while Jordan Ellingson earned Rookie Pitcher of the Year and Pitcher of the Year during her career.  A total of 41 USA South all-conference players have been led by Martin and 15 NFCA honorees earned All-Region status. Coupling athletics with academics, Brittney Head and Abby Smith both earned Academic All-American honors from CoSIDA.    Piedmont’s 2014 season was arguably the best in the long storied history of Lady Lion softball with the team going 43-8 overall including a nearly perfect 23-1 mark in USA South action that saw PC win the league’s regular season title for the second-straight season. The Lady Lions put together an 18-game winning streak during the regular season, but that accomplishment paled when compared to the six-straight Piedmont had to win after a loss to open the 2014 USA South Championship Tournament with the half dozen consecutive wins handing PC the USA South tournament crown.   The 2014 season also saw Piedmont climb to new heights in the NFCA National Poll debuting at #13 in the preseason poll while climbing as high as 7th following its dramatic run at the USA South championships.  After two wins over nationally ranked competition and the team’s season-ending loss to regional champs Emory, Piedmont finished the season ranked #21 in the country.   Martin was the architect behind the 2006 campaign that helped his Lady Lions rewrite the record books as the team earned the program's first-ever NCAA Division-III National Championship appearance with a fourth-place finish at the South-Atlantic Regional in Salem, Virginia. The Lady Lions finished with a then-school record 33 wins while posting a remarkable .750 winning percentage, one of the winningest seasons in the program’s history. As a native of Toccoa, Georgia, Martin traveled north to New York earning his undergraduate degree from NCAA Division II member Nyack College where he was an All-Conference and All-American catcher for the Warriors. Martin also holds a masters degree from the United States Sports Academy located in Mobile, Alabama. Martin still calls Toccoa home residing in the nearby North Georgia community with his wife, the former Robin Cash. The oldest of the couple’s two sons, Ethan, was a 2008 first round (15th overall) Major League Baseball draft pick and spent time pitching for the Philadelphia Phillies organization while making his major league debut on August 2, 2013 against the Atlanta Braves. The Martins’ youngest son, Cody, was also a MLB draft pick going to the Minnesota Twins in 2009 but chose to pursue his education first and finished his collegiate playing days at NCAA Division I member College of Charleston where he also made a splash with a game-winning, pinch-hit three homer on opening day in his debut season with the Cougars.     Martin's Year-by-Year Coaching Record (1999-Present) YEAR SCHOOL WON LOST TIED WIN % 2025 Piedmont 25 19 .625 2024 Piedmont 18 21 .462 2023 Piedmont  25 18 .581 2022 Piedmont  31 11 .738 2021 Piedmont  25 13 .648 2020* Piedmont  6 7 .462 2019     Piedmont 31 12 .716 2018 Piedmont 24 18 .571 2017 Piedmont 26 15 .634 2016 Piedmont 29 15 .659 2015 Piedmont 17 14 .548 2014 Piedmont 43 8 .843 2013 Piedmont 34 10 .773 2012 Piedmont 22 15 .595 2011 Piedmont 30 15 .667 2010 Piedmont 29 12 .707 2009 Piedmont 15 17 .469 2008 Piedmont 28 13 .683 2007 Piedmont 20 21 .488 2006 Piedmont 33 11 .750 2005 Piedmont 26 16 .619 2004 Piedmont 24 16 .600 2003 Piedmont 21 17 1 .553 2002 Piedmont 20 18 .526 2001 Piedmont 27 14 .659 2000 Piedmont 18 28 .391 1999 Piedmont 4 27 .129 26 Seasons 1 School 651 421 1 .607 *2020 season cut short due to COVID-19 Martin's Coaching Record by School (1999-Present) School Name Seasons Record Winning Pct.
