Scott Doran Commits to UNC Baseball
Scott Doran, a right‑handed pitcher who spent the last two seasons at Coastal Carolina, announced his commitment to the University of North Carolina on Friday night, joining a Tar Heels roster that is looking to rebuild its pitching staff for the upcoming campaign.
During his sophomore year, Doran logged 28 ⅓ innings and posted a 4.76 earned run average, striking out 39 batters while limiting opponents to a .196 batting average.

Those numbers reflect a pitcher who can generate swings and misses and keep hitters off balance, traits that coaches say translate well to the competitive environment of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The move also underscores the growing appeal of UNC’s baseball program among transfer athletes, who are increasingly drawn to the school’s blend of academic reputation and competitive athletics.
Doran’s arrival adds depth to a rotation that has faced injuries and inconsistency early in the season, offering the coaching staff a proven option with experience in high‑pressure games.
