Pearland Cobblers Announce Will Joiner Jr. as Assistant Coach

The Pearland Cobblers are proud to announce that Will Joiner Jr. has been named Assistant Coach for the upcoming collegiate summer baseball season as the organization continues to build its inaugural staff.

A native of La Porte, Texas, and current Pearland resident, Joiner brings more than 25 years of coaching experience across high school, select, and collegiate baseball. He played college baseball and earned his degree from Prairie View A&M University, an experience that helped shape his long-standing commitment to player development and leadership within the game.

Joiner currently serves as a teacher and coach at Dobie High School, where he holds multiple roles including Director of Football Operations, tight ends coach, Head Girls Flag Football Coach, Assistant Baseball Coach working with catchers, and World History Team Lead. His wide-ranging responsibilities reflect his dedication to developing student-athletes both academically and athletically.

“I take pride in building student-athletes, developing strong programs, and leading in the classroom,” Joiner said. “Sports have always been a big part of my life, and I’m excited for the opportunity to bring that experience to the Pearland Cobblers.”

Joiner’s baseball background includes serving as a high school head coach, as well as experience at the collegiate level as a graduate assistant with responsibilities in recruiting and the development of pitchers and catchers. He has also worked extensively in select and Little League baseball, giving him a well-rounded perspective on player development at every level.

In joining the Cobblers, Joiner emphasized the importance of representing both the organization and the Pearland community with pride and consistency.

“Representing the Pearland Cobblers means carrying a standard every day,” Joiner said. “Pearland has strong traditions and high expectations, and I take pride in being part of that.”

As the Cobblers continue to build their identity, Joiner highlighted the importance of creating a program rooted in development and community connection.

“Success starts beyond the field,” he said. “We’re building real connections with the Pearland community through games, events, youth engagement, and local business partnerships that will last for years. At the same time, we’re strengthening relationships with colleges and universities to create opportunity and exposure for our players.”

“What excites me most is working with college-level players who are serious about growth and results,” Joiner added. “These are players who chose the Pearland Cobblers because they want to compete, improve, and make the most of their summer.”

Joiner also noted the significance of bringing a collegiate summer baseball team to a community with deep baseball roots.

“Pearland already has a strong baseball culture,” he said. “There’s pride here, and this team gives the city something to rally behind at the next level.”
