Coach Craig Meinzer will begin his second season at the helm at St. John's Jesuit in 2019. In his first year at SJJ, he led the Titans to a district championship and an overall record of 18-8.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, he was most recently the Fall Assistant Coach at Lourdes University. Meinzer's return to SJJ was a homecoming of sorts, as he was a Varsity Assistant Coach with the Titans from 1999-2004.
In 2016, Meinzer was the Assistant Head Coach at Central Catholic High School, and prior to that he served as the Head Coach and Athletic Director at Cardinal Stritch High School. While at Cardinal Stritch from 2012-16, he led the Cardinals to two Toledo Area Athletic Conference championships and advanced to one district final.
Meinzer currently holds an OIAAA Registered Athletic Administrator Certification. For eight years, he also coached the Toledo Legion baseball team and was a former football (10 years) and basketball (18 years) official in both Ohio and Michigan.
As a 1977 graduate of Whitmer High School, he is currently employed at Dynamic Dies in Holland.
"Craig is one of the most highly respected baseball coaches in Northwest Ohio. SJJ is very fortunate to have him as our Head Coach," said Director of Athletics Bob Ronai.
