Meet Our General Manager and Primary Coach of SDS!

My name is Jaren Stutzman! I was Born and raised in Findlay, Ohio, and attended Adrian College to play baseball and majored in Elementary Education. I also got my masters at the University of Findlay in Human Resources.

My role models are my four older brothers that have made me who I am today! I strive to not only be a baseball coach but mentor to children on and off the field. My ultimate goal is to make an impact on as many people’s lives as I can, by being able to teach children life-lessons through the game of baseball. I want your child to reach their full potential and become the best baseball player and person they can be.
