Wayne Main, a lifelong Frederick resident, has spent more than three decades shaping the landscape of youth and high school baseball in the region. Main began his journey as a student-athlete at Thomas Johnson High School, playing baseball, golf, and soccer.

Main’s passion for coaching has left an indelible mark on Frederick County athletics. He began as head coach in the Frederick American Little League from 1986 to 2002, leading his teams to multiple championships, including Maryland State Little League District 2 titles and a 9-10 State Championship in 1998. In 2001, he founded the Frederick Hustlers Baseball program, which he has led as head coach ever since. Under his guidance, Hustlers teams achieved national recognition, including NABF National Runner-up (2002), Dizzy Dean World Series Champion (2004), NABF National High School Runner-up (2006), USA Baseball Wood Bat Cup Champion (2018), and Perfect Game Super 25 Champion (2019).

His dedication as a private hitting instructor has further developed players from ages 8 through college.

During his career, Main has coached more than 100 athletes who earned college baseball scholarships at institutions such as Old Dominion University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Maryland, Florida International University, West Virginia University, and Mount St. Mary’s University. Five of his players have gone on to professional baseball careers, including MLB AAA player Danny Smith.
