The dean of head coaches at SSU and among baseball coaches in the conference, Goelz has built Sonoma State into one of the most respected programs in the nation. With a career record of 739-478-5, Goelz is the winningest coach in any sport in SSU history. He is the ninth winningest active Division II coach and is 24th all-time. The 2007 season was one for the ages for Coach Goelz and his Seawolves. The team tied the school record for wins (50), won their eighth conference title, and finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation for the first time in program history. The ‘07 Seawolves also had a school-record 22-game winning streak and won 35 of their 40 home games. Individually, the Seawolves had four players sign contracts with major league baseball teams and four earn All-American honors. After taking over a Sonoma State team in 1986 that had won just 50 games over the previous six seasons combined, Goelz wasted little time turning the school into a winner. Following an eighteen-win season in 1986 (the most wins in school history), Goelz delivered the school’s first winning campaign in 1987 with a 30-20 record. Winning seasons have become common place ever since, with 18 in his last 21 seasons. Career Record Year Overall Pct Conf Since 1999, Sonoma State has a record of 358-198-2, one of the best records in the country at any level. Coach Goelz has also seen over 70 of his players sign professional contracts since 2007 50-12 .806 29-7 his arrival in 1986 and in the past seven years, 28 players have been drafted or signed to play 2006 28-23-1 .548 17-15 professionally.

Their draft performance ranked among the top Division I schools in the nation in terms of early round draft picks and they led 2004 39-28 .582 25-15 all Division II teams with four draftees. 2003 46-15-1 .750 27-11 2002 41-24 .631 20-20 In addition to their presence in the professional ranks, Goelz’s former players have continued 2001 50-17 .746 29-7 to make a difference in their communities both on and off the field. Dozens have gone on to coaching jobs at high schools and colleges throughout Northern California and the nation. 2000 39-23 .629 25-15 1999 40-26 .606 21-15 Goelz has seen 13 of his players go on to earn All-American honors and has coached six con- 1998 33-21 .611 23-12 ference player of the year award winners.
