"That patience from Jose really stood out, and it shaped the lesson into steady progress, a rare calm while focusing on the core. Lesson highlight: patience, and I felt it throughout.

Baseball has been at the heart of my life since age 8. With over 25 years of experience in sports leadership, coaching, player development, and officiating, I’ve built a career helping student-athletes reach their full potential — on and off the field. I previously served as the Athletic Director at Bergen Community College until December 2024, overseeing 12 NJCAA athletic teams and Esports. I’ve coached baseball at multiple collegiate programs including Bergen CC, Ramapo College, Rutgers-Newark, John Jay College, and others. As a former college MVP catcher who batted .400, a championship-winning summer collegiate manager, a dedicated baseball instructor, and an experienced umpire, I bring a comprehensive understanding of baseball’s technical, strategic, and regulatory sides. I have a strong track record of turning collegiate baseball programs into winning teams. As both an assistant and head coach, I successfully revitalized the baseball programs at Ramapo College, John Jay College, and Bergen Community College by implementing strategic coaching, player development, and team culture changes that led to sustained success on the field. I’m recognized for my excellent strategic planning skills — developing game plans, managing pitching rotations, and crafting personalized player development programs that maximize performance and growth. I’ve worked with players from youth to NCAA Division I and professional prospects, developed strong relationships with NJ high schools, regional colleges, and professional scouts, and officiated games across youth and collegiate levels — ensuring fairness, safety, and respect for the game. My work blends coaching, program development, student mentorship, officiating, and entrepreneurial drive. I’m bilingual in Spanish, CPR/First Aid certified, and currently launching a youth-focused LLC to expand my lesson and mentorship offerings. Committed to continuous learning and professional growth, I regularly study leading baseball and sports management literature to stay current with the latest strategies, coaching techniques, and industry best practices. I teach all baseball skills and strategies. I also have extensive experience in recruiting baseball players for colleges and universities. Including knowledge of the road to play college and professional baseball.

Our son, Jay, had the good fortune to play for Jorge Hernandez this past fall on the 13U squad. We cannot say enough positive things about Jorge. He is great with the kids, he is patient and kind. He always was upbeat with the players and was constantly teaching them the ins and outs of the game. —, the players and their parents are lucky to have Jorge as part of the program. Thank you, Barbara and Marc Weiss
