GSL’s Schwirtz named section baseball coach of year
He’s been here before and the honor still means a ton. It’s a sign the GSL baseball coach is surrounded by good players, good coaches and a supportive community.
Schwirtz was recently named the section baseball coach of the year by the Minnesota Baseball Coach’s Association for Section 5AA. It’s the sixth time he’s won the honor since 2007, the most recent coming in 2018. Schwirtz is quick to credit his players, assistant coaches and community volunteers
That makes sense. His Panthers finished 19-7 overall and won the section baseball title. The Panthers fell twice at state in a pair of nail-biters.
“You don’t win these awards without good athletes, good assistant coaches and good people helping you out,” he said. “We have a ton of people who do what it takes to help make our program successful.”
