Former Mexican League and Miracle Outfielder Tapped as New Manager of The Elkhart County Miracle
New Skipper A.J. Van Bogaert Will Serve as Player-Coach
(Elkhart, IN)–The Elkhart County Miracle announced their new manager in a press conference Monday at the team’s home park in Elkhart.
Club President Craig Wallin says the assignment has been in the works for awhile and expects Van Bogaert to once again patrol left field and hit in the middle of the line up in the 2025 season that begins Wednesday, June 4th at 6pm.
“AJ is a consummate professional who will help lead our team in a unique role as player-manager”, Wallin said. “We are extremely fortunate to have AJ back following last year’s Northern League Championship run”.
Wednesday’s Home Opener against Northern League runner-up Northwest Indiana begins at 6pm. The game is a rematch of the 2024 Championship Series against the Oilman which the Miracle won, and will be played at the Elkhart Athletic Complex at Division and Waterfall Drive.
Tickets are available at the gate, and online at elkhartcountymiracle.com.
