Monarch High School has officially introduced Mitch Rodriguez as its new varsity baseball coach.

“It feels great, Rodriguez said. “I was born and raised in Coral Springs and have lived in Coconut Creek for many years, so to be able to make an impact in the community that I’ve called home for a while now is an honor to me,”

Baseball has been a major part of Rodriguez’s life since he began playing at age four. He pitched at Dean College in Massachusetts, where his team won a District Championship and was ranked among the top 25 nationally in NJCAA Division II.

Rodriguez later spent a year coaching at Lynn University and has also coached at Highlands Christian Academy and, most recently, Piper High School. He brings nearly a decade of travel baseball coaching experience to Monarch.

“I’m just glad to have this opportunity to make an impact on future generations on a different stage,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez is also a third-generation public servant and has followed in his family’s footsteps by finding his own way to positively impact the community. He is set to take over a program that has routinely made playoff appearances but is coming off a season in which the Knights won only four games.
