After Hurst's retirement, Frady was promoted to head coach where he racked up a record of 228-173-1 over his first 7 years. This represents the second most wins in Georgia State History, shadowed only by Mike Hurst's 293 wins. During his tenure, the Panthers won their first conference tournament championship, taking them to the NCAA regional tournament for the first time ever.{{cite web|title=2012 Georgia State Panthers Baseball|url=http://www.georgiastatesports.com/fls/12700/2012-GSU-Baseball-Guide/index.html?DB_OEM_ID=12700|work=GeorgiaStateSports.com|publisher=Georgia State University|accessdate=22 June 2013}} The 39 wins made that season also represented the record for most wins in a season.
