Matt Malkin

Matt was born in Pequannock, New Jersey, at the same hospital as Derek Jeter.  He was raised in Broomfield, CO.  He graduated from Monarch Highschool in Louisville, CO.  After graduation he attended Paradise Valley Community College and played under Victor Solis for 2 seasons as a catcher and 1st Baseman.  He earned all conference honors and held 4 schools hitting records, as well as received a Gold Glove for the 2017 season. 

 

After PVCC he earned a scholarship to play at the University of Alabama under head coach Brian Bohannan.  After spending a year there, he was released and bounced back to Metro State University of Denver under Head Coach Ryan Strain.  This is where he spent his senior year of college.  During that time he broke the school home run record and single season RBI record, setting a new standard for MSU baseball. 

 

That season earned him  the 1st Team All American Award which was the program's first in history and a chance to be signed by the San Francisco Giants, where he spent a year with them before the COVID shut downs. 

 

After COVID, he was officially released from them and since 2021 have began my coaching career which started the Dirt Devils  I now reside in my hometown of Broomfield and have accepted an assistant coaching position  at MSU Denver where I will be coaching under Coach Strain to help get another conference championship with the goal of bringing home a national championship!  He has always loved baseball and is honored to have these possibilities to help the lives of young men continue their baseball careers and dreams.
