Julian Mock was one of the founding members of the Atlanta Dugout Club in 1962. The organization later evolved into the Georgia Dugout Club.

Mock was a successful high school coach at Southwest and Murphy High Schools in Atlanta. His teams at Murphy won four consecutive Atlanta City championships and two state championships before he became a territorial scout for the Cincinnati Reds for 24 years.

From 1990-1997, Mock was the scouting director for the Reds. He is also the founder and director of the oldest baseball camp in the Southeast region, the Southeastern Baseball Camp in Alabama.

A book, “The Man in the Dugout: The Story of Julian Mock,” has been written about Mock’s life and his love for developing young baseball players.
