Ludlow High School has hired Eli Florer to be their next baseball coach of the program.
Florer comes over from Holmes, where he was the head coach for the last three seasons and with the program for six and a teacher at the high school. He led the Bulldogs to nine wins in 2024, their most in a season since 2018.
Florer is a Bracken County graduate and played baseball and football for the Polar Bears. He went on to play football at University of the Cumberlands before finishing out his education at Northern Kentucky University.
“It’s an honor to be the next baseball coach at Ludlow,” Florer said. “We return quite a bit of experience from a young team last year that plays a fun brand of baseball and plays extremely hard. There’s a lot of excitement around baseball in Ludlow and I can’t wait to be able to lead this group and see the growth within the program.”
He inherits a Ludlow team coming off a 11-18 season under Aaron Stamm, who recently took the girls basketball coaching job at Bishop Brossart. Stamm coached the baseball program the last two seasons. The Panthers graduate just three seniors and are expected to return their top three pitchers in Parker Trenkamp, Miller Reed and Jackson Mays along with top hitters batting average-wise in Trenkamp, Reed and Mays.
He’ll teach math at the high school.
