South Carolina baseball will now be playing on “Ray Tanner Field.” The school announced Friday it was naming the field after its two-time College World Series-winning coach and longtime athletic director. Tanner announced last month he was leaving his position in charge of the athletic department that he's held since 2012.

The school announced the naming Friday and said it would start with the 2025 season. The stadium remains Founders Park after Founders Federal Credit Union extended its naming rights last month through 2035. Tanner was South Carolina baseball coach from 1997-2012. He went to six College World Series, winning in 2010 and 2011. The Gamecocks were national runner-up in 2012 and Tanner became the school’s AD a few weeks later.

“This is a tremendous gesture from my friends and donors,” Tanner said in a statement. “I am grateful for their commitment to this project.” Tanner hired former LSU national championship coach Paul Manieri last June to replace Mark Kingston, who was dismissed after seven seasons.
