Coaching Staff

Brandon Scott
Pitching Coach/Recruiting Coordinator

Brandon Scott begins his second season as an assistant coach at DMACC. Scott will serve as the teams pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Brandon is no stranger to quality baseball programs having played at one of the top junior college programs in the country, followed by two years playing experience at a division one program.

The DMACC pitching staff showed great improvement during Scotts first season. During the 2008 season the Bears broke two pitching records. The single season strikeout record fell, and the single season save record was shattered. Scott’s staff as a group showed remarkable improvement also. The team lowered the ERA 3.66 runs a game, while recording 434 strikeouts with only 188 walks.

With all the success as a pitching staff, individual success was inevitable. Three of Coach Scott’s pitchers were named All Region. (Dave Conrad, Eric Holmes, Mitch Mormann). Conrad improved his record from 1-4 the previous year to 9-2 last season under Coach Scott. Freshmen Eric Holmes posted an 8-2 record earning him the all region honor. Mitch Mormann set a school record with 12 saves in 2008 on his way to all region honors as well. Mormann was also selected in the 17th round of the first year player draft by the Cleveland Indians.

The great improvement of the DMACC staff did not go unnoticed by college Coaches across the country. The DMACC bears had several pitchers continue their playing careers after last season. The Bears had two pitchers move on to division one schools and three move on to play at division two schools.

The 2009 season has started of great for the Bears staff as well. Two current Bears pitchers will be playing in the prestigious Cape Cod league this summer (Mitch Mormann and Patrick Cooper). These two have already wrapped up several national accolades. Cooper was recently named Baseball Americas top Prospect from the Jayhawk Summer League, and Mormann has been listed on numerous players to watch list for the 2009 MLB Draft.

Coach Scott joined DMACC after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at Eastern Kentucky University, a division one school that participates in the Ohio Valley Conference. He also spent the 2007 summer as the head coach of the Alleghany County Nitros, an organization in the New York collegiate summer league. While there Brandon led his team to a league record 21 consecutive victories.

Coach Scott began his collegiate playing career at Wabash Valley Jr. College where he helped his team to consecutive 40 plus win seasons. He then transferred to Eastern Kentucky University. During his time at EKU Scott played, and worked for former Creighton and Iowa assistant Elvis Dominguez.

_{Matt Goliber
Assistant Coach}

Matt Goliber is entering his third season as the catching coach at DMACC. Prior to DMACC, Goliber spent four years catching at Creighton University. During his time at Creighton, Goliber saw Creighton’s baseball presence in the country restored when they won their first ever conference regular season title and fell just short of a super-regional berth.

While at Creighton, Goliber enhanced his catching knowledge with instruction from former Chicago Cubs catcher, Scott Servais, current Dallas Baptist University head and pitching coaches, Dan Heefner and Travis Wyckoff, and current Purdue University assistant coach, Spencer Allen.

Also at Creighton, Goliber played with current Double-A catcher Tim Gradoville, pitcher Eric Wordekemper, outfielder Zach Daeges, Single-A catcher Chris Gradoville, and ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte. The catching position is no stranger to the Goliber family, as his brother, Brian, catches for the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He is touted as one of the best defensive catchers in college baseball.

Raised in Orange City, Iowa and a product of Spalding Catholic high school, Goliber received his Bachelors degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and is currently studying to receive his Masters in Civil Engineering at Iowa State University. He resides in Boone with his wife, Nicole.
