Myrow Hired to Head Pali High Baseball

A new era is dawning for the Palisades High baseball program and leading the transition is new head coach Jordan Myrow, who has Dolphin blood in his veins—his parents were prom king and queen as seniors at Palisades. His mother Tiffani was the varsity cheer captain and his father John played center field for the Dolphins’ 1989 squad that lost to Kennedy 4-3 in the City 4A final at Dodger Stadium under then coach Russ Howard. He went  on to attend UCLA and was drafted by the Colorado Rockies.       

While growing up in Culver City and Tarzana, Myrow played Little League at Ladera and Encino and he rollerbladed in the Palisades on weekends. He chose to attend Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, where he played outfield for four years and graduated in 2015. He playing one season at UCLA and two at Cal State LA.   

“My experience coaching at the high school level began while I was at UCLA when I did camps and clinics and I started coaching travel ball in 2021,” Myrow said. “I coached 9- to 18-year-olds, but was primarily with the 13-18us. I found it was easier to relate to them and pass down knowledge. That eventually opened the door to being the assistant varsity coach at Buckley, where I spent two years  before being hired at Pali.”

Myrow replaces Mike Voelkel who stepped down in July after 18 seasons and 316 victories.

“We have to pay to use fields that host different leagues, schools and activities,” Myrow said. “The high volume of activity limits our ability to buy, use and store necessary equipment like L-Screens and pitching machines… but none of that stops us from getting creative and doing what we need to.”

Myrow is thrilled to have the opportunity to pilot the Dolphins.

“I’d love to win ball games, but ultimately my goals are to develop these young men’s character and show them how to overcome the adversities they’ve been dealt,” he said. “I once was in their shoes, having a housefire of my own. Aside from that, these boys are going to learn how to fail but, more importantly, they’re going to learn how to bounce back from their failures and they’re going to have a lot of fun while doing it.”
