"Coach Baltz took over this program from a Hall of Fame head coach. He is living off of that coach's legacy. He will not give feedback to players unless they seek him out, and most recently advised my daughter that he was annoyed to have to meet with her to give feedback. From a knowledge point of view as a softball umpire he is lacking. He appeals calls to the wrong umpire repeatedly. He does not know the rules and allows his team to get bullied over them. This past weekend he allowed a misinterpretation of an illegal pitch, and he asked the plate umpire about an appeal at 1st base instead of discussing it with the field umpire. This is the norm for this coach who is out of his depth. He was eliminated in playoffs last year by making zero adjustments with his team and got no hit. The previous coach's players are all seniors now and after this year there will be a giant drop off. He has run off multiple players and at this time is hoping to go into next season with 1 Sr pitcher, a Jr pitcher who already wants to quit (discussed with the coach last year about leaving), and hoping incoming freshman will be good enough to help him. He has 6 pitchers on staff this season but due to graduation and running a pitcher off he is down to 2 and hoping he does not lose another. After the senior game last year, with the players that took him in his 1st year to a world series appearance, he was upset they did not win the game so he refused to talk about the seniors as is tradition in front of the parents to send them off. My daughter played High School ball at the 6A level in TX and played against and with many players you see on TV playing at SEC schools. This includes facing Melissa High School (the #1 High School softball program in the nation). She played A level select and played for organizations like Glory in some of the biggest tournaments in the country. This coach did not see her play. The 1st time he decided to see her play was her freshman year during the fall scrimmage. They played 2 10inning games. He told her not to expect to play as a freshman. Then in the 20th inning without warming her up he told her to go in to pitch. The umpires had not seen a lefty pitcher all day as she was the only one for either team. She struggled to find the strike zone - He did not go out to try to settle her down - he let her meltdown in front of everyone, but she held it together as best she could and got through the outing. He has held that against her ever since then. At the end of the season having pitched to the team all year to get them ready he told her to come back this year ready to go. So, she went home for the summer... She dropped 20lbs... she pitched every chance she got against anyone... 16yr olds to 25 yrs olds... she came back to show she was ready. Fall scrimmage came... he did not pitch her... and then told her it was her fault and body shamed her. This coach is destined to fail. He does not lead young women and instead he bullies them. Moravian softball is successful... very successful, but that was the legacy of the previous coach."
