Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs News Release
The Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs of the Perfect Game Collegiate League (PGCBL) are proud to announce the hiring of Joe Witkowski as Assistant Coach for the 2014 season.
This will not be Witkowski first time in the Mohawk Valley, the St. John's University alumni was a member of the DiamondDawgs 2007 team.
Currently an assistant coach for the United States Coast Guard Academy, Joe played for the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals organizations before an injury ended his playing career.
"Joe is a tremendous addition to our staff," team owner Travis Heiser said. "Anytime you can get someone who has professional baseball experience it's a plus. He also brings Division I experience having played in the Big East conference where he was a major contributor on a team that won the Big East Tournament. He will have instant credibility with the squad."
"I am very excited to be heading back to the Mohawk Valley," stated Witkowski. "I spent my first summer as a college player here and the area, team and fans have always held a special place in my heart. When I first spoke with Mr. Heiser about returning in a coaching role I was ecstatic. I look extremely forward to working with and learning from fellow former professional player, Coach Nation. The college summer ball experience is so important in developing as a player, and I hope to impart the knowledge and instruction I've gathered throughout my playing career onto our players. I'm honored to be heading back to help bring a championship to Veterans Park and once again being a part of the great Mohawk Valley community."
