Biography

In 21 seasons Scarbrough has taken a Baker program, which had never won more than 12 games in a season before he arrived, to the top of the softball mountain in Alabama. During his career, which included 12 years in the slow-pitch state series before converting Baker to fast-pitch in 1999, Scarbrough has built a career record of 1,088-314 and won six Class 6A state titles – three consecutive slow-pitch titles from 1991-93 and fast-pitch crowns in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Scarbrough’s last five teams own a 361-37 record.

His 2005 team, perhaps the best in state history, finished 78-3 and set or tied 20 state records. This year’s team broke one of those records by finishing 79-7. Prior to taking the reins at Baker, Scarbrough won over 1,000 games, 17 metro titles, eight state titles and four national titles as a Junior Olympic softball coach. He was inducted into the Mobile Softball Hall of Fame in 1992.
