Mike Pankow grew up in Hortonville, WI and spent a lot of his youth on the baseball field.  His father, Richard, coached for 30 years in the Hortonville High School program and was responsible for forming Hortonville Legion Baseball.  Pankow was on the team in 1998 when Hortonville High School completed their second consecutive undefeated state championship season, and then went on to play college baseball and basketball at Northland College in Ashland, WI.

After finishing his playing career, Pankow went right into coaching both baseball and basketball at the high school level and for Hortonville Legion Baseball.  He then went back to Northland College as an assistant basketball and baseball coach, before getting his first college coaching job at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.  It was there that he met Oz Sailors who played for Pankow during her junior and senior seasons.  Pankow was named the NCAA AD3I Coach of the Year in 2016.  Pankow left UMPI and was named the Head Coach at Bay College in Escanaba, MI where he was asked to start the Baseball Program that first competed in 2019.

Pankow cites Sailors one of his biggest sources of inspiration.  “Oz has been a friend of mine since getting the opportunity to coach her and is an amazing young lady.  It is through her that I was able to stay in touch with women in baseball and eventually get the opportunity to coach in the Women’s World Baseball Classic in 2023.  I am so grateful that through Oz I have the opportunity to continue to coach young women and to help forge paths for women to achieve their dreams.”
