Mauldin Mayos Name Landon Shaw as Head Coach

MAULDIN, S.C. — The Mauldin Mayos are proud to announce the hiring of Landon Shaw as the team’s new Head Coach, bringing a strong local connection, competitive mindset, and passion for player development to the organization.

A native of Greenville, South Carolina, Shaw’s baseball journey has been deeply rooted in the Upstate. He began his collegiate playing career at Presbyterian College before transferring to North Greenville University, where he competed for three seasons while earning his MBA. Shaw currently serves as a Graduate Assistant Coach at North Greenville, continuing to develop his coaching philosophy and mentorship skills at the collegiate level.

“Representing this organization is both an honor and a responsibility,” said Shaw. “As someone who grew up immersed in the game here, this opportunity means a great deal to me. It allows me to give back to the same community that played such a significant role in my development.”

Shaw views his role as more than just leading a team on the field. His vision centers on building a culture that emphasizes accountability, effort, and consistency while creating an environment where players, families, and fans can come together and enjoy high-quality baseball.

As the Mayos prepare for their inaugural season, Shaw is focused on laying a strong foundation that extends beyond wins and losses.

“Success in year one will be about establishing our culture,” Shaw explained. “We want to compete at a high level, but more importantly, we want our players to compete with purpose, support each other, and represent this organization with pride.”

A firm believer in the power of community engagement, Shaw also plans to emphasize service and meaningful connections off the field. His goal is for the Mayos to be recognized not only for their performance, but for their impact throughout the Mauldin community.

“What excites me most is the opportunity to build something special with this group,” Shaw said. “Creating a strong brotherhood, helping players grow both on and off the field, and working toward a common goal—that’s what coaching is all about.”

Under Shaw’s leadership, the Mayos aim to embody integrity, sportsmanship, and stewardship. He emphasizes the importance of players and coaches serving as role models, representing the organization with respect, humility, and a strong sense of responsibility.

The Mauldin Mayos are confident that Shaw’s leadership, local ties, and commitment to excellence will help establish a strong identity for the program both on and off the field.
