Second Base | Shortstop
A three-time All-Ohio honoree and 1999 Cleveland Plain Dealer’s and Akron City’s Player of the Year at Akron Ellet High School, Tracee McCoy didn’t miss a beat as a UA freshman in 2000. She earned the start at second base, played in all 52 games on the way to a 31-21 record and finished second on the team with a .364 batting average. In addition, McCoy paced the Zips in runs (36), hits (60), doubles (13), triples (4), RBI (35), walks (18), and total bases (102) while finishing second with seven home runs. Her performance earned her first-team All-Great Lakes honors, second-team All-Mid-American Conference accolades and UA’s MVP Award. Unfortunately, she was plagued by injuries in 2001, and saw action in only 26 of 45 games.
McCoy recovered for her junior campaign, starting at shortstop in all 47 games, led the team with a .328 batting average as Akron compiled a 30-17 overall record, 18-6 in the MAC and grabbed the MAC East Division title before falling in the MAC Championship series. McCoy was accorded first-team All-MAC honors.
She repeated first-team All-MAC honors as a senior when she batted a team-leading .333 average and was tops in hits, triples, RBI, and walks while pacing the MAC with 10 home runs.
She left UA ranked in the Top 10 in eight categories. Following graduation, McCoy earned a master’s degree at Marshall while serving as the graduate assistant coach.
McCoy went on to play professionally for the Akron Racers for three years before entering the coaching ranks. She went on to coach softball at Twinsburg High School.
McCoy was named the 2008 and 2009 Conference Coach of the Year at Twinsburg High School. Since 2009 she has been coaching Ohio power travel teams and her 18 and under NEO Bulldogs squad finished 17th in the nation at the USA/American Softball Association national tournament. She was inducted into Summit County Softball Hall of Fame in 2014.
