Kevin Gunderson recently decided to move on from Metro Baseball, we greatly appreciate his dedication and outstanding pitching instruction the past seven years and wish him all the best in the future.

Going forward we have chosen three of the highest quality pitching instructors in the area to provide what we feel is a winning combination for any pitcher looking to enhance their skills. Our staff will focus on teaching the proper fundamentals and a winning mindset on the mound.

Please welcome Tom Gorman, Tom Bohlman and Ben Wetzler to Metro Baseball!

Coach Gorman is known for his ability to get the most out of the pitchers he works with. He pitched in the major leagues for the Expos, Mets, Phillies and Padres from 1980-1987. Tom also is a member of the Gonzaga hall of fame and won a state title at Woodburn High School. Since retiring from baseball, Tom has been the pitching coach for Portland State University, Tigard High School and most recently Oregon City High School where he helped lead them to a state title in 2012. In addition Tom worked with Metro pitchers from 2005-2012.

Coach Bohlman is entering his 11th year as the Clackamas Cavs pitching coach. Tom has been instrumental in helping make Clackamas Baseball a top tier program in the State. During his time at Clackamas he has assisted in winning two state titles in 2008 and 2010 while also coaching three 6A players of the year (Nick Struck, Ben Wetzler and Austin Kelly) who were all dominant on the mound. Tom also played baseball at Oregon State and George Fox under Pat Casey.   

Coach Wetzler has had a storied career in Oregon Baseball. He won a state title in 2010 and earned the Gatorade Player of the year at Clackamas High School. Ben then went on to star at Oregon State, he lead the Beavers to the college world series in 2013 while earning a spot on the All Pac 12 team. In 2014 Ben was drafted by the Miami Marlins and is currently one of their most promising pitching prospects.   

Please join me in welcoming each coach to Metro Baseball. We have assembled a pitching staff that offers an unmatched combination of coaching skills which will help pitchers reach their highest potential. Look for announcements coming soon regarding their availability for camps and lessons.

  

Sincerely,
