Jordan Getzelman begins his fourth season on the Nevada staff in 2026, serving as the team's hitting coach and recruiting coordinator.
Getzelman's work with the Wolf Pack offense in 2025 played a critical role in Nevada capturing the Mountain West regular season championship. As a team, Nevada batted .296 with 79 home runs, both figures program highs since Getzelman's arrival in 2023. Four of Nevada's All-Mountain West selections in 2025 came from the batting order, with all four (Jayce Dobie, Jake Harvey on the First Team, Sean Yamaguchi and Billy Ham on the Second Team) earning the first all-conference recognition of their respective careers.
The impact of Sean Yamaguchi in 2025 greatly helped the Wolf Pack's success. The Aiea, Hawaii native was named 2025 Mountain West Freshman of the Year and was named to the Freshman All-America Second Team by both the NCBWA and Perfect Game after batting .324 with team-leading figures of 13 homers and 72 hits, along with 13 doubles and 50 RBIs.
Overseeing the Wolf Pack's recruiting efforts, Getzelman has helped land players with immediate impacts on the diamond as seven of Nevada's 11 All-Mountain West honors since 2023 have been claimed by players joining the squad since his arrival. This number includes four selections to the All-Mountain West First Team.
Doktorczyk was one of the Wolf Pack's breakout stars over the past two seasons, following up a strong debut season in 2023 with a 6-4 record, 3.95 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 2024. Along with his first-team All-Mountain West selection, Doktorczyk was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the ninth round of the 2024 Major League Baseball Draft.
Getzelman's work as hitting coach has led to increased production throughout the Wolf Pack lineup. In 2024, three Nevada batters had at least 10 home runs, led by Holder's 14, while the Wolf Pack hit 142 doubles, with three players, led by Michael Ball with 22, had at least 20. As a whole, the Wolf Pack offense slugged .502 and batted .294 in 2024, well up from figures of .259 and .422 in 2023. Ball and Holder would go on to earn spots on the All-Mountain West Second Team while JR Freethy had his best collegiate season, batting .303 with 18 doubles, 10 homers, and 37 RBIs before being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Getzelman reunited with Jake McKinley in Reno, after having played for McKinley at Menlo College (2017), serving on his William Jessup staff as a volunteer assistant coach, and working together in the Brewers organization for two seasons (2020-21). Getzelman served as the Brewers’ assistant hitting coordinator before joining the Middle Tennessee State staff as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator in 2022.
Getzelman mentored Blue Raider hitters to a team batting average of .275 in 2022, the program’s highest figure since 2018. Middle Tennessee state wrapped the year with a 29-26 record.
From William Jessup, Getzelman headed to the Lone Star State, serving as the Director of Hitting Development and Hitting, Analysis & Operations at Dallas Baptist for two seasons (2018-19). Over his two seasons in Dallas, the Patriots hit .290 and made back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances.
While at Menlo, Getzelman was named an NAIA All-American, the GSAC Conference Player of the Year and to the All-GSAC First Team in 2017, when he set school records of 26 home runs and 66 RBIs.
The Crystal Lake, Illinois native started his collegiate career at the University of Missouri where he received a medical redshirt before transferring to Iowa Western Community College in 2015. While in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Getzelman received first-team All-Region and his Reivers went 54-7 and competed in the JUCO World Series.
