Central College has filled their open head baseball coach position for Spring 2015. Veteran assistant at Wartburg College, Matt Schirm was tabbed yesterday as the new skipper for the Dutch. Schirm was a two-year starter for Coe as their catcher, and earned all-conference honors while serving as team captain in 2001. He also was an assistant coach for Anamosa High School while in college, before spending 2004-06 as an assistant director and instructor at North Carolina’s Baseball Academy. Schirm will be taking over for Adam Stevens, who left his post to take the head job at Aurora College in Illinois. The former Knight enters a Dutch program that has put up five consecutive 20-win seasons, and finished 28 – 16 in 2014 while winding up second in the Iowa Conference tournament.
