Jeremy Simpson is entering his third season as Assistant Baseball Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Catawba College in the spring of 2025.

In the first year with Simpson as Assistant Coach, Catawba set the program single-season record with 113 stolen bases, swiping bags at over a 76 percent success rate. The following season, the team broke the stolen base record again en route to the 2024 SAC regular season and Southeast Regional titles and a national semifinal berth.

Simpson joined the Catawba College baseball coaching staff as a graduate assistant in 2021 following his decorated playing career for the program. 

As a player, Simpson was voted All-South Atlantic Conference First Team at shortstop in 2021, was a first team All-SAC selection in 2019, named second team all-region in 2019, and claimed second team All-SAC honors in 2017. Simpson was also named to the SAC All-Defensive Team at shortstop in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2021. 

Simpson holds the program record for most games played in a career with 231, as he hit .308 in his six-year career with 180 runs scored, 267 hits, 49 doubles, 11 triples, 11 home runs, and 164 RBI. Simpson also ranks top-ten in Catawba College baseball history in hits (5th), at-bats (4th), triples (7th), and walks (9th).
