Coaches Corner
From GHS Varsity Baseball Coach Jeff Wolf

Coaches,

Thank you for all that you do for the kids involved in the Germantown Little League and the game of baseball.  Coaching can be a thankless job at times.  We don’t do it for ourselves or the money; we do it because we love our kids and the game of baseball.  It has been a great first year as the varsity baseball coach at Germantown High School.  I am very optimistic about next season and years to come.  That optimism is fueled by the tremendous work and dedication you do at the Little League level.  I look forward to working with each of you to maintain excellence in the Germantown baseball program. 

 - Coach Wolf

Tip from the coach - Hitting Philosophy

It will be our philosophy to be confident and aggressive at the plate.  We want to be relaxed in our stance and focus on tracking the ball (with both eyes) to the bat.  “Soft hands and relaxed stance” are phrases we use often in our approach to hitting. We will be aware of the count.  In a favorable count (2-0, 3-1, etc.) we will look for our pitch and hit the ball hard where it is pitched.  When we find ourselves with 2 strikes, we will extend our strike zone 4 inches in all directions.  We never want to strike out without swing the bat.  Be mentally tough in the batter’s box.  Understand that hitting a baseball is one of the toughest things to do in all of sports.  We want to focus on quality at bats.  Just because we don’t get a hit, doesn’t mean the at bat was unproductive.  Know the situation, make the pitcher work (if the pitcher retires the first two hitters quickly, don’t go up and swing at the first pitch) be productive and don’t get cheated at the plate.
