Coppin State head baseball coach Sherman Reed announced in October 2020 the addition of Aaron Tarr to the Eagles coaching staff. Tarr will serve as an assistant coach after spending last season as an assistant coach at Georgetown University. “We are pleased to be able to add a talent like Coach Tarr to our coaching staff,” said Reed. “We have been very fortunate to have one of the more stable staffs in college baseball the last five years. Coach Tarr’s responsibilities will be like those at Georgetown; he will lead our outfielders while assisting Coach (Jovanny) Zarzabal with our hitters. Coach (Lyndon) Watkins will move to the position of Director of Operations to round out our staff.” Prior to his time at Georgetown, Tarr had served as the Marshall High School (Va.) head coach since 2012, compiling a 116-47 record and leading the Statesmen to six-straight District Titles as well as State and Regional Runner-Up finishes in 2015. Tarr was named the District Coach of the year four times in seven seasons as well as the 2015 Virginia State Coach of the Year. During his tenure, Tarr had 29 players move on to play at the collegiate level. Since 2010, Tarr has served as the founder and head coach for the Cadets Baseball program. A developmental program focused on several schools in Northern Virginia, the Cadets Baseball Program helps players, ages 13-15, prepare for varsity high school baseball.
