Josh Morton
Josh Morton brings more than two decades of high-level coaching experience and an accomplished playing background to the field, making him a tremendous resource and mentor for developing baseball players.
Josh is currently an assistant coach with Sierra College Baseball, one of Northern California’s most established and successful community college baseball programs. The Wolverines have built a tradition of competing at the highest level of California community college baseball, including a 2008 State Championship and State Championship Tournament appearances in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2023, and 2025. In 2025, Sierra captured the 3C2A Northern California Championship and advanced to the four-team California State Championship tournament.
Josh has played an important role in that tradition. He has served multiple stretches on the Sierra College coaching staff, from 2003–2010, 2014–2019, and 2022–present. Most notably, Josh was part of the coaching staff that helped lead Sierra to the 2008 California Community College State Championship, one of the signature accomplishments in the program’s history. He was also on staff during Sierra’s 2025 run to the State Final Four, when the Wolverines finished 33–16, won the Northern California championship, and earned another opportunity to compete for a state title.
Josh’s coaching experience extends well beyond Sierra College. He has been involved with The Rock Baseball Club for many years and has coached travel baseball since 2005, working with athletes ranging from developing youth players to high school players preparing for the college level. He currently works with the Sierra Nevada Wolves and continues coaching high school players during the summer with The Rock Baseball Club.
At the high school level, Josh coached at Placer High School, helping guide the program to the 2012 Pioneer Valley League Championship and a Sac-Joaquin Section finalist appearance. His coaching background also includes time at Del Campo High School as well as with the Kelowna Falcons of the West Coast League in British Columbia. These experiences have given Josh the opportunity to work with athletes at nearly every stage of player development.
Josh’s knowledge of the game is also rooted in an outstanding playing career. As a young player, he was selected as a 1994 AAU All-American and was a member of the 1995 Area Code Team representing the San Francisco Giants. At Del Campo High School, he helped his team win the 1995 Sac-Joaquin Division I Championship and earned recognition on the Sacramento Bee All-Metro Team.
Josh continued his career at Cal Poly, where he pitched on scholarship in the Big West Conference. During his collegiate career, he established the school record for career pitching appearances with 87 games, demonstrating the durability, consistency, and competitiveness that would later become important parts of his coaching philosophy.
Following college, Josh continued playing professionally as a left-handed pitcher for the Kelowna Heat of the Canadian Baseball League, adding professional experience to an already extensive baseball background.
Today, Josh brings all of those experiences together as a coach. His approach goes beyond simply teaching players how to throw harder or improve their mechanics. He emphasizes proper movement, arm health, repeatable mechanics, confidence, competitiveness, and long-term player development. Having coached players from youth baseball through the college level, Josh understands that every athlete develops differently and that successful instruction must be tailored to the individual.
Most importantly, Josh cares deeply about the athletes he works with. His goal is to help young players develop the skills and habits necessary to stay healthy, maximize their potential, and continue playing baseball for as long as their talent and aspirations allow. For players hoping to compete at the high school or college level, Josh offers not only technical knowledge but also decades of experience within successful programs and a firsthand understanding of what it takes to advance to the next level.
