In 2010, Calvi’s Gamecock pitching staff led USC to the national championship, ranking in the top 10 in earned run average (seventh, 3.45), strikeouts (sixth, 8.9) and hits allowed per nine innings (third, 7.48), after posting a 2.15 ERA in seven College World Series contests, which was nearly a point lower than the next best team in Omaha.
Calvi's staffs again ranked among the nation's best during his time in Columbia, finishing among the top teams in ERA, strikeouts, innings pitched, hits allowed, and many other statistical categories.
In his career, which spans 21 years at the collegiate level, including an 11-season stint at fellow Sun Belt Conference member Florida International, Calvi has recruited and worked with over 40 pitchers who have either been drafted or signed with Major League Baseball teams – that includes seven who have reached the majors – along with position players Jackie Bradley Jr. and Christian Walker.
Calvi led USA to its 15th Sun Belt crown in 2015 en route to his second SBC Ron Maestri Coach of the Year award.
Right-hander Ben Taylor also earned first-team all-SBC honors as a relief pitcher, and was selected in the seventh round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Boston Red Sox.
