Cory Mee joined the Mount St. Mary's baseball coaching staff ahead of the 2026 season.
Mee's last role before the Mount came at Western Michigan, where he oversaw player recruitment as associate head coach. In his three seasons with the Broncos, Mee was a part of a team that recorded 72 wins, with a MAC conference record of 49-40 including the 2024 season where Western Michigan recorded an overall record of 32-23 as well as a conference record of 19-11. 2025 was a particularly successful year for Mee's Broncos, defeating Notre Dame, Michigan, Northwestern, Michigan State.
Before Western Michigan, Mee spent two years at Akron as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to that, he spent the Covid-19 shortened 2020 season at Eastern Michigan.
From 2004-19, Mee served as the head coach at Toledo, posting 191 MAC Conference wins, the second most in program history. While at the helm in Toledo, Mee's team won the MAC West title in 2012 while placing second in the division in 2009, 2010, and 2015, making the conference tournament on 10 occasions.
Before his tutelage in Toledo, Mee served as assistant coach at Michigan State from 2000-03 as well as a six-year stint at his alma mater, Notre Dame, starting in 1993. While in the coach's office in South Bend, Mee served alongside current Mississippi State head coach Brian O'Connor.
Mee played baseball for the Fighting Irish alongside Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell from 1989-92 where the utility infielder and catcher served as team captain during his senior year in South Bend. After his college days, Mee signed a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, playing a year in the Northwest League with the Yakima Bears. While at Notre Dame, Mee was coached by current Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy and former LSU head coach Paul Mainieri, who is currently the head coach at South Carolina.
In his 16-year tenure at the helm in Toledo, 18 of Mee's players selected in the MLB Draft or signed to free agent contracts, including five players in 2012 alone. Jared Hoying, a Cory Mee product and 2010 graduate of Toledo made his debut for the Texas Rangers in 2016, playing in 74 games while in Arlington. Mee's highest draft pick came in 2009, when Justin Collop was taken by the Chicago White Sox in the sixth round. Along with his players in major league organizations, Mee has an alumni roster of 13 players who have either played in the Frontier League, the Australian Baseball League, or other domestic independent leagues.
Mee's MLB draft resume extends beyond Toledo, as 16 players were taken in the draft during his time as an assistant at Notre Dame, with Christian Parker and Brad Lidge eventually making the call-up. While in East Lansing, seven of Mee's players were taken in the MLB Draft, with Bob Malek taken in the fourth round of the 2002 MLB Draft by the New York Mets. And while at Western Michigan as associate head coach, Luke Thelen was taken in the 15th round by the Colorado Rockies.
