WELCOME BACK 2026 RECRUITER/ASST COACH DAN MILLS
MERCHANTS LEGACY
Coach Mills is a true Merchant. From 2011-2016 Mills was the OF coach, 1st Base Coach, and main recruiter for the Merchants. With over 145 wins and counting, Mills was also a big part of the Merchants back to back Championship runs in 2013 & 2014.

In 1997 Coach Mills hung up his playing cleats and went to work for the Federal Government. Set to retire in September 2025, Coach Mills may consider coaching on a full time basis.
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
"This Program means a lot to me because it is the oldest existing Summer baseball program in Alameda (Little League, Babe Ruth, American Legion, are all gone at the HS and above levels). I take great pride in being a part of this program. Alameda is a true "Baseball Town". For most of my life its had a population of less than 70,000 yet we have had a long list of talent come off this Island. That list continues to grow. The Merchants have played their part in that history and Im just proud to be a part of that legacy."

Kyle was one half of our play by play/color commentary "Dynamic Duo"! Floyd brought his professionalism and diligence to every game this past Summer. His unique voice, articulateness, as well as time spent gathering pertinent info was remarkable and really helped set us apart. We strongly believe we had the most entertaining and talented duo in the CCL north and Kyle was a huge part of that!

Segall was nothing short of amazing in the booth, on our broadcasts, and conducting interviews. His knowledge and experience were invaluable to the program. Ethan was conversational yet authoritative. His passion, versatility, and deep preparation shined through. Segall's ability to paint a picture of the game and work seamlessly with his partner really helped make our broadcasts the most enjoyable to listen to. We are thankful and grateful for all of our interns input and impact on the Merchants. We are excited to see what they all do next! #Merk4life
