2012 ~ 2013 Men’s Baseball Head Coach
HEAD COACH - CAP POHLMAN
The 2012-2013 season will be Coach Pohlman’s15th
year as head coach of the Muskgon Community College
Jayhawks. He owns a record of 441 & 278. His 20072008 Jayhawk squad won the school’s first Conference
Championship and the 2009-2010 squad broke 21 school
records including a record 44 wins. He was born and
raised in Saginaw Michigan. Pohlman threw 7 no hitters at
Saginaw Douglas MacArthur High School. He then moved
on to Central Michigan University; his career there was
highlighted by defeating South Carolina on a no-hitter
and in the Regional and defeating Big Ten Champion
Iowa on a 3-hitter. He was drafted in the 9th round
by the Milwaukee Brewers and spent two years in the
minors before his career ended because of an arm injury.
Coach Pohlman spent one season as a volunteer coach
at CMU before becoming the head coach at Chesaning
High School. His teams won seven conference championships. His best team was 32 & 7 and
they set many state records. He left Chesaning to become the assistant baseball coach at Miami
University in Oxford, Ohio. His primary responsibility there was working with the pitchers. Starting with an 8 man pitching staff Coach Pohlman built a pitching staff of 24 pitchers after 4
years. Four of his pitchers were drafted, including Scott Sauerbeck and Dave Swartzbaugh. In
2011 Garrett Bolt, who pitched for Pohlman at MCC, was drafted by the LA Dodgers.
Coach Pohlman spent 12 years at Fruitport High School before retiring. He spent 4 years as
Varsity Baseball Coach. Three of those teams were conference champs. His high school record
over 18 years was 351 wins and 145 losses. In 2002 Coach Pohlman was elected to the Michigan
High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. In 2009 he was selected to the CMU
Hall of Fame as part of the 1971 National Runner-ups. His resume also includes coaching football,
basketball and he was also an athletic director. He has spoken at many clinics and camps. He is
supported by his wife of 38 years, Deb, a retired teacher. He has 2 children; his daughter Karli
is a teacher at Muskegon Public Schools and she is married to Jason Baldus, who works at the
Newaygo Intermediate School District. His son Carey is married to Cara and they are both
teachers in Gastonia, North Carolina. He is also the proud grandpa of Karina and Jackson Baldus.
Coach’s Comments: This year’s team is much more balanced with the right mix of sophomores
and freshman. Last year’s experiences we hope will translate to more success
on the field. We had several losses in the pitching staff and feel at the top of
our rotation and our bullpen will be stellar. We need the freshman pitchers to
adjust quickly. Defensively we expect to be strong. Offensively we are looking for
more stolen bases and run production. It will be a disappointment to the coaching
staff and these sophomores if we don’t compete for the league and Regionals.
2012 ~ 2013 Men’s Baseball Assistant Coach
ASSISTANT COACH - GREG GUZMAN
Coach Guzman is starting his 9th year as an assistant coach with

MCC Women’s Basketball team as well as coaching high school girl’s
and boy’s basketball and AAU basketball. In his spare time Coach
Guzman enjoys working as a pitching/hitting instructor and he also
announces the women’s and men’s Jayhawk basketball games.
Coach’s Comments: Coach Guzman is in charge of our defense and bunting. He works specifically with
our infielders and outfielders and sets our defense. He also coaches first base and has worked many
hours to make “Jayhawk Nation” successful. He bleeds Blue and Gold.

Coach Williams is entering his 4th year as an assistant coach

Coach’s Comments: Chris is adjusting to the speed of the game, he has a good arm and some
major skills as a hitter. Once Chris feels comfortable and confident at this level he will be a major
force. We hope that will be this year. Chris will play 1st base and will be used out of the bullpen.
