Head Coach Matt Wolski
Baseball
6th season

Considering he has only two school years to work with his players, head baseball coach Matt Wolski likens his job to that of a minor league coach. He’s trying to win games, but, at the same time, help his players move on to four-year programs.

The results reflect his efforts. Wolski will take a 112-82-1 record into his sixh season at MCCC. As the wins pile up, so do the accomplishments off the field. In his first four seasons, 20 of his former players have gone on to four-year programs, including four currently at the Division I level. Also, three of his players were recipients of the MCCC Scholar-Athlete Award, given annually to the athlete with the highest grade point average.

His 2008 squad was his most successful as it finished 34-13 (the program’s third-highest single-season total) and won the Region 19 Tournament title. In leading the Vikings to their first region title since 2003, Wolski was chosen as the 2008 Region 19 Coach of the Year.

Wolski was named MCCC’s head coach in 2005. Previously, he was an assistant coach at his high school alma mater, Steinert in Hamilton, N.J., and Rider University. He’s been in the spotlight of Mercer County baseball since he was a standout pitcher and shortstop for the Nottingham Little League (Hamilton, N.J.) squad which was the U.S. runner-up at the 1992 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

Wolski, who has been influenced by some of the MCCC baseball coaches who preceded him, including Rick Freeman, Dave Gallagher and Randy Voorhees, played four years of baseball at Rutgers University before graduating with a degree in sociology and minor in geography in 2003. He is studying for a Master’s Degree at Thomas Edison State College.

In addition to coaching baseball, Wolski serves as the Coordinator of Athletics at MCCC. He and his wife, Meredith, a girls’ soccer coach at Steinert High School, live in Burlington Township, N.J.
