Josh Sandin - Head Coach
Fourth Year
Josh Sandin enters his fourth year as a head coach. In three
years under Sandin, Iowa Central has amassed a 112-50 overall
record and a 46-32 conference record. Iowa Central also appeared in every NJCAA Division So ball poll between 2011 and
2012, peaking at No. 3 each year, and won the program’s third
ICCAC regular season tle in 2012.
Since 2011, Iowa Central has had nine All-American selecons, 30 All-Region XI selec ons, 40 Academic All-Region XI
selec ons, seven Academic All-Americans and the team has
been named an Academic Team of the Year by the NJCAA three
mes. Iowa Central also set team records in ba ng average
(.375) and home runs (58) in 2011.
Sandin recorded his 100th win to begin the 2013 season with
a 12-0 win over North Arkansas. He needed only 126 games to
record his 100th victory.
“We have very high expecta ons for our program, both on
the field and off,” said Sandin. “Our goal every year is to make
it to the Na onal Tournament, win it and also be an academic
team of the year.”
Sandin is in his seventh year with the so ball program as he
was an assistant for three seasons before taking over as head
coach in 2010 when Rick Sandquist resigned to become the
Athle c Director at Iowa Central.
“What Sandquist started here is amazing,” said Sandin. “I
was lucky enough to play for him and coach with him. He has
molded me into the coach that I am today and I hope to connue to carry the program on with the same class and respect
that he did.”
Sandin served as an assistant coach for three seasons and
handled the catchers, ou ielders and hi ers. Sandin also served as the recrui ng coordinator for so ball program. The
Iowa Central alum was a member of the Triton baseball team when he was a student. He was a part of Sandquist’s final
season as a baseball coach and finished fourth at the NJCAA II World Series in 2002. Sandin was also a part of the 2003
squad that was Na onal Runners-up under current baseball coach Rick Pederson.
“Iowa Central has always been a very special place to me ever since I was a student here,” said Sandin. “To get the
chance to come back and be a part of such a great athle c tradi on is a dream for me.”
Over the last seven seasons, Iowa Central has compiled a 358-81 overall record and finished fi h at the NJCAA II Naonal Tournament in 2009. The Tritons have enjoyed record breaking success in that me as well. All but one individual
offensive record and one individual pitching record have been broken. The Tritons have also had 19 All-Americans and 20
Academic All-Americans in that me as well as placing 29 girls into four-year programs.
“We are going to con nue to recruit girls who have a passion and love for the game and want to work to become
the best they can be,” said Sandin. “All of the success that we have had has been because our girls have bought in and
worked hard.”
In addi on to coaching Sandin works as an academic advisor and contributes content for Iowa Central’s athle c web
site.
Sandin lives in Fort Dodge with his wife Chelsea and their son Jackston (1).

Tritons Ready for Return to Excellence
For head coach Josh Sandin and his 2014
Triton so ball squad, February 13 can’t come
soon enough. A er a disappoin ng 2013 campaign saw the Tritons – depleted by injuries
and dismissals – struggled to a 13-36 overall
record, the 2014 opener has been circled in
red.
“Last year was a long year. We had some
things happen that were out of our control
and some difficult decisions had to be made,”
said Sandin, who is entering his fourth season
as head coach. “It’s never fun to go from ‘firstto-worst,’ but we have a team full of girls who
are ready to get Iowa Central back to the level The Tritons will look to bounce back in 2014. A strong reit belongs.”
turning group of sophomores and talented freshmen should
Leading the way for Iowa Central is a talhave Iowa Central back in contenƟon.
ented group of eight sophomores and eleven
freshmen. The mix provided strong results in the fall season and posted a lot of improvement in winter
workouts.
“This has been such a fun team to be around every day. They work so hard on and off the field, they are
on a mission. Some people threw dirt on our program last season and this bunch is ready to show them
that we are back,” said Sandin.
That determina on and work ethic has started with a talented group of sophomores that are not ready
for a repeat of 2013. The Tritons return three All-Region XI performers from last year’s team and all eight
have experience as starters. They have mixed with a talented group of freshmen that includes five AllState performers and boasts five Iowa State So ball Championships.
Infield
The majority of new faces will be on the infield this season, especially up the middle. Freshmen Taylor
Barne and Emilee Dorpinghaus have taken the reins at shortstop and second base respec vely. Expect
Dorpinghaus, an Ankeny prep, to be a fixture near the top of the lineup and Barne , an Indianola grad, to
be a threat in the bo om third of the order.
Iowa Central has some more depth at the corners. Sophomores NiCole Dobernecker and Morgan Fisher
return a combined 42 starts. A finally healthy Dobernecker will spend most of her me at first base and be
a staple in the middle of the line-up. Fisher hit .333 and started 23 games last season and will compete for
me at third as well as at first base. Fellow sophomore Haley Rustvold will also be in the mix on the infield
a er an All-Region campaign last year that saw her at third and second base. Rustvold, who ba ed .377
with eight doubles, will also be in the ou ield this season.
A pair of freshman will also join the mix at the corners. Canadian freshman Casey May Huff will primarily
play third base but may also see me at shortstop. Her potent bat will also be featured in the middle of
the Triton order. Kenzie Shelgren, a freshman from Humboldt, will also push for me at first base a er a
strong fall and winter season.
“We’ve got some op ons on the infield,” said Sandin. “We should be a very good defensive team and our
infield will be the reason why. We have a talented bunch of kids that can really pick it on the infield.”
Ouƞield
The Tritons return the most depth in the ou ield. All-Region XI performers Chelsy Krantz and Ka e
Newbury will return to roam in center and le field this year. Krantz returns to centerfield a er ba ng
.500 last season with 61 hits and 19 stolen bases. Newbury returns to le field a er pos ng a .391 average with three doubles and two triples. Both will also solidify the top of the order for the Tritons.
The ba le for right field could be one that goes on all season long. Fellow sophomore Rustvold will
compete with local freshmen Josie Heesch (St. Edmond) and Lexie Miller (Eagle Grove). Coach Sandin
says whoever isn’t star ng right field could very well be the designated players. Both players have made
huge improvements throughout the winter. Heesch offers more pop in her bat while Miller con nues
Eagle Grove’s pipeline of speed to the Triton program.
Also expect to see freshman Allie Ingalls in right field when she isn’t pitching as well as sophomore Kaitlynn Morrison who saw ac on in 17 games in right field. Jenny Schmidt, a freshman from Wisconsin, will
also split me between catching and right field this year.
“We have a lot of op ons out there,” said Sandin. “We have a lot of kids who can play and it is going to
come down to what we need that day or who is swinging the ho est bat.”
Catcher
First Team All-Region XI performer Sammie Hildreth returns to handle the Triton pitching staff. The
sophomore led the Tritons with 14 doubles and eight home runs last season while playing stellar defense behind the plate, throwing out 16-of-22 would-be base stealers.
Two freshmen will be behind Hildreth this year. Sarah McCoy and Jenny Schmidt will both see ac on
behind the dish. McCoy, who was part of back-to-back state championship teams at BCLUW, is also a
candidate for playing me at designated player. Schmidt will also see me in the ou ield.
“We play 60 games in a season, all three are going to see a lot of game me this spring,” said Sandin.
“Both Sara and Jenny are talented catchers and we have no issues with them back there.”
Pitcher
Three quarters of Iowa Central’s pitching staff are new. Sophomore Paige Prokop, who joined the program in April last year, has made massive gains a er a full year of college so ball. She will join Allie Inn
galls, the 2A Iowa Player of the Year for North Union, to form the TTritons’

“I think our staff knows we have a very strong defense and they can rely on them. They realized that
this fall and it really made a difference. They’ve put a lot of work in with Coach Doyle as well and have
all made strides this winter,” said Sandin.
Schedule
The 2014 schedule has a new look for Iowa Central as its first five dates will be played inside this year.
A er Mother Nature wreaked havoc on the schedule last season, causing Iowa Central to cancel five
dates and play 14 games in eight days leading up to the Region XI Tournament, Sandin tried to avoid her
as much as possible.
“Outside of Florida, there weren’t too many nice days to play last spring. We were lucky enough to
play twice inside last year and when we were shoveling snow on May 1, I decided to get as many early
dome dates as possible,” said Sandin.
Iowa Central will host three dates in the Irish Dome in Rosemount, Minn., opening with the Indoor
Classic on Feb. 13 and 14. The Tritons will play St. Thomas JV on Feb. 21 and Region IX champion Dakota County on March 11 in the Irish Dome. The Tritons will also play three games inside the Rochester
Bubble on March 8.
A er that, the Tritons will head south for their annual spring trip. A er playing North Arkansas on
March 14 in Harrison, Ark., the Tritons head to Coca Beach, Fla., for five more dates. It will be the first
me Iowa Central has played in Cocoa Beach since 2008.
“I’m very excited about the first half of our schedule. Our hope is that we will be able to bank 11 dates
without worrying about weather and hopefully this will keep us from scrambling at the end of the season,” said Sandin.
Iowa Central will test Mother Nature early though as it is scheduled to host Graceland JV for its home
opener on March 4 at Harlan Rogers Complex.
“Our fingers are crossed for that one,” said Sandin. “Mother

Facilities
Harlan and Hazel Rogers Softball Complex
The Iowa Central so ball team boasts some of the best facili es in the Midwest. Iowa Central plays its
home games at Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex, one of the best so ball facili es in the state.
Harlan Rogers is home to the Iowa Girls High School Athle c Union State So ball Tournament and the
NJCAA Region XI Tournament. The complex is home to two so ball fields, three slow pitch so ball fields
and the Mini Majors which are fields designed to resemble famous Major League Baseball fields. Harlan
Rogers will improve upon its stellar complex with a mul -million dollar renova on including grandstands,
press boxes and new dugouts beginning in 2015.
“Jim Winter and his staff do a great job of taking care of the facility,” said head coach Josh Sandin. “We
play at one of the nicest complexes in the state of Iowa.”
Crimmins Building
The Iowa Central so ball and baseball team moved into the newly remodeled Crimmins Building last
fall, and couldn’t be happier. The new fully-turfed space holds three full length ba ng cages, bathrooms,
a lobby and is large enough for a so ball infield. The facility allows the Triton programs to prac ce yearround free from scheduling and weather restric ons. Both programs have been prac cing and hos ng
camps in the Crimmins Building since early November of 2012.
“This facility has been an amazing addi on for us,” said Sandin. “It’s allowed us to be able to do a lot
of individual work and prac ce at more convenient mes.”

On offense we are going to be overly aggressive. We
want teams to hate to play against us, not because we
are a cheap or dirty team, but because we take extra bases, steal bases, make the right play and cause
frustra on to our opponents. By being aggressive, we
accomplish our goal. We strive not to be a one-dimensional offensive team. We will use speed to set up the
rest of our offense. We expect our ba ers to work the
count, understand and recognize all offensive situa ons
and above all, swing HARD! There are mes when we
need a home run, a stolen base, a sacrifice bunt or even
a ground ball to the right side to complete our offensive
goal. We expect each of our players to be able to complete these tasks when called upon.
We as coaches do not believe in calling every pitch,
dicta ng every situa on or making every single call. We
want our teams to have an understanding and knowledge of the game that allows them to react during the
game. If you feel a drag bunt may be the best op on,
drop it down. If you think you can take an extra base on
a hit to the ou ield, take it. We want to have nine girls
on the field all thinking inside the game and reac ng to
every situa on on the field without us forcing them to
do so.
Finally, the game of so ball is just that… a game. Games
should be fun. We do not hold five-hour prac ces. Our
prac ce mes range from two to two-and-a-half hours.
We do not stand around; we are always doing something to get be er. We explain the reasoning behind
why we do the things we do. We teach them because
we want all of our girls to understand the nuances of
so ball.
We truly believe that a coach has the power to create
the passion of playing and also take that passion away.
We think we create. We want an en re team pulling and
roo ng for each other. We want a dugout full of players and coaches with a refuse-to-lose a tude, willing
to fight the other team for every strike, out and inning
un l the game is over.
