OWNER and HEAD COACH
Edwin Bonilla
Edwin Bonilla, a proud Miami native, has dedicated his life to baseball, both on and off the field. After excelling as a player at North Miami Beach Senior High and later at William Penn University, he earned a degree in Sports and Fitness from UCF. His coaching journey began in 2008, and by 2011, he took on the role of Head Coach at Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High, turning a struggling program into a competitive team with a 14-9 record in just one season. Bonilla’s leadership sent numerous players to college baseball, and his success continued when he became Head Coach at Miami Senior High in 2017. Under his guidance, the team has shown tremendous growth, with players committing to Division I schools. Bonilla’s passion for the game is matched only by his devotion to his family—his wife Alyssa and their three children, who share his love for baseball.
