About Dan Ramirez: Hired when the school opened to develop and grow the baseball program. We are entering our 6th season here.  20 years baseball coaching experience with various age groups in the Tucson area, with the last 12 years at the high school level.  Playing experience at the college level with Cochise College in Southeast Arizona. Without a baseball field on school property, we have the benefit of playing and practicing at Jesse Ownes Park, one of the nicest fields in town, located nearby. We are constantly working on improving what we believe will be an outstanding hitting facility on school property
