South Florida Bandits | 25+ Years in Recruiting Berg Ohanian

South Florida Bandits | 25+ Years in Recruiting
Berg Ohanian
Founder & President
For more than 25 years, Berg Ohanian has worked at the intersection of amateur baseball, college recruiting, player evaluation, and mentorship. As the Founder and President of Time to Sign Sports, Berg has built his career around one central objective: helping serious student-athletes use baseball to create meaningful educational opportunities and find the college environment in which they can thrive.
Berg's roots in the college recruiting world extend back well before the formal creation of Time to Sign. Alongside legendary travel baseball figure Mark Holtzman, Berg helped build the South Florida Bandits, the travel baseball program that sits at the foundation of the Time to Sign organization and remains an important part of its history and identity today.
Together, Berg and Mark built the South Florida Bandits into a true travel baseball juggernaut and one of the most respected amateur programs in the country. Their teams were loaded with future Division I players, MLB Draft selections, and eventual Major Leaguers. The level of talent assembled during that era was so extraordinary that college coaches who recruited those teams still describe some of them as among the best travel baseball teams ever assembled.
The South Florida Bandits legacy is an essential part of the Time to Sign story. The program has produced hundreds of college commitments, more than 170 MLB Draft selections, and dozens of players who ultimately reached Major League Baseball. Alumni include DJ LeMahieu, Rick Porcello, Matt Harvey, Anthony DeSclafani, Marcus Stroman, and numerous others who advanced to the highest levels of the game.
That success also helped establish the network of relationships that would become one of Time to Sign's greatest strengths. Berg spent years working directly with college coaches, identifying players who could compete at the next level, and helping connect student-athletes with programs that fit them academically and athletically. Those relationships were built through years of trust, successful placements, and a consistent track record of sending prepared players into college baseball.
Berg's experience also includes years of coaching players directly. He has coached throughout youth and high school baseball and served as an assistant varsity coach at North Broward Preparatory School in South Florida. Those experiences gave him a firsthand understanding of player development as well as the challenge of balancing high-level academics, competitive baseball, and the college recruiting process.
In 2010, Berg formally established Time to Sign Sports, expanding the recruiting and advisory side of the organization while building upon the foundation created through the South Florida Bandits. Rather than representing two unrelated organizations, the Bandits and Time to Sign share the same baseball roots, relationships, and commitment to helping players advance to the next level.
Under Berg's leadership, Time to Sign has evolved from those South Florida roots into a broader platform encompassing travel teams, college recruiting, player evaluation, development resources, showcases, events, and individualized advisory services.
Throughout that growth, Berg's philosophy has remained consistent. The recruiting process begins with understanding the individual player: his baseball ability, academic profile, personality, aspirations, family priorities, and the level at which he can realistically succeed. From there, the objective is to identify schools where the student-athlete can find the right combination of baseball opportunity and educational value.
That approach has helped Berg build lasting relationships with college coaches throughout the country, many of which span decades and multiple generations of coaching staffs. Time to Sign families consistently point to Berg's understanding of the recruiting landscape, his ability to identify appropriate academic and athletic fits, and his willingness to personally advocate for players as distinguishing characteristics of the organization.
Berg's perspective on recruiting has also been shaped by navigating the process within his own family. His son, Sarkis Ohanian, came through the South Florida Bandits before earning an opportunity to play at Duke University. Sarkis became the first member of the Ohanian family to graduate from college before being selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth round of the 2015 MLB Draft and now serves as Vice President of Time to Sign Sports.
That journey reinforced Berg's belief that baseball can be a vehicle for far more than simply continuing to play the game. When approached correctly, it can create access to extraordinary educational opportunities, meaningful relationships, and experiences that shape a young person's life well beyond baseball.
Berg's daughter, Anna Ohanian, is a graduate of the University of Florida and Harvard Business School, currently serves as Director of Business Strategy at Princess Cruises, and is a Business Advisor to Time to Sign. Her involvement adds another dimension to the organization's leadership, bringing expertise in finance, strategy, and business development.
Before dedicating himself to baseball full time, Berg spent decades as an entrepreneur and owned a luxury consumer products business. That background has influenced the way he has built Time to Sign: around personal relationships, long-term trust, attention to detail, and an expectation that every family receives individualized guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all recruiting experience.
Today, Berg continues to work directly with players and families while leading Time to Sign into its next chapter. The organization now combines the competitive baseball foundation established through the South Florida Bandits with a comprehensive recruiting and development system designed to help student-athletes progress from youth baseball through the college recruiting process and beyond.
After more than 25 years in amateur baseball and college recruiting, Berg's greatest asset remains the same: an ability to understand a player, understand the college baseball landscape, and connect the two honestly.
From the powerhouse South Florida Bandits teams of the past to the expanding Time to Sign organization of today, that philosophy has remained at the foundation of everything he has built.

Sarkis Ohanian
Vice President · Florida Regional Director
Sarkis Ohanian brings a rare combination of elite academic, collegiate, professional baseball, and recruiting experience to his role as Vice President of Time to Sign Sports. Having personally navigated the path from South Florida travel baseball to Duke University, the Cape Cod Baseball League, the MLB Draft, and professional baseball, he now uses that experience to help student-athletes and families navigate many of the same decisions that shaped his own career.
A South Florida native, Sarkis attended North Broward Preparatory School, where he developed as both a shortstop and pitcher while competing for the South Florida Bandits on the travel circuit. As a senior at North Broward, Sarkis posted a 2.41 ERA with 49 strikeouts in just 29 innings and played a key role in the Eagles' District and Regional Championships and run to the Florida State Championship.
Sarkis continued his career at Duke University, competing for four seasons in the Atlantic Coast Conference while earning a degree in Sociology and a Certificate in Markets & Management. His career was defined by continued development, culminating in a dominant senior season in 2015. Working exclusively out of the bullpen, Sarkis went 4-1 with a 1.97 ERA across 45.2 innings, striking out 62 hitters while allowing just 11 walks. His 12.2 strikeouts per nine innings and 5.64 strikeout-to-walk ratio established him as one of the ACC's best relief pitchers.
Among ACC pitchers who threw at least 45 innings that season, Sarkis' 1.97 ERA ranked fourth in the conference, and he was one of only three pitchers in the ACC to surpass 45 innings while maintaining an ERA below 2.00.
During his collegiate career, Sarkis also spent two summers with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. His 2013 summer was particularly dominant: he appeared in 10 games without surrendering a single run over 14.1 innings, allowing just six hits while recording three saves. His performance earned him a selection to the Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star Game, placing him among the top players competing in the nation's premier collegiate summer league.
Following his senior season, Sarkis was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the ninth round, 265th overall, of the 2015 MLB Draft. He and teammate Michael Matuella became the first pair of Duke teammates selected within the first 10 rounds of the MLB Draft since 2002.
Sarkis spent five years in the Cincinnati Reds organization. In 2016 with the Dayton Dragons, he recorded 13 saves, tied for second in the Midwest League, while striking out 61 hitters in only 35.1 innings and posting a 0.93 WHIP. During one remarkable 21-appearance stretch that June and July, he allowed just six hits in 22 innings while recording 42 strikeouts against only five walks. Across his professional career, Sarkis struck out 159 hitters in 100.2 innings, averaging more than 14 strikeouts per nine innings.
Sarkis' story also carries particular significance beyond baseball. When he graduated from Duke in 2015, he became the first member of the Ohanian family to graduate from college, fulfilling a goal rooted in generations of sacrifice and reinforcing his belief that baseball can be a vehicle for extraordinary educational opportunities.
Today, Sarkis serves as Vice President of Time to Sign Sports, where he works directly with student-athletes and families while helping lead the organization's recruiting, team, event, and player-development initiatives. His experience extends beyond his own playing career into years of player evaluation, college placement, recruiting strategy, and relationship-building with college coaches across the country. Time to Sign's current recruiting model places particular emphasis on evaluating both the athletic and academic profile of each player, an approach that closely mirrors Sarkis' own journey to Duke.
Having experienced virtually every stage of the process himself, from being evaluated and recruited as a high school player to competing in the ACC, performing on the Cape, hearing his name called in the MLB Draft, and navigating professional baseball, Sarkis brings a perspective that cannot be learned from the sidelines. He understands what college coaches are evaluating, what high-level baseball demands, and how important it is for families to identify opportunities that align with a player's ability, academics, development, and long-term goals.
At Time to Sign, his objective is straightforward: give serious student-athletes the honest evaluation, strategy, relationships, and preparation necessary to maximize both their baseball and educational opportunities.

Dylan McNary
Regional Director · New England
Dylan McNary brings a unique combination of Division I playing experience, performance training expertise, and firsthand familiarity with the Time to Sign recruiting process to his role with the organization.
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Dylan attended Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, where he developed into one of the region’s top high school infielders. He earned All-ISL honors as a senior after previously receiving Mid-Wach A All-Star recognition and went on to play Division I baseball at Villanova University. During his high school career, Dylan was also a Time to Sign student-athlete, giving him firsthand experience with the organization and the recruiting process he now helps other players navigate.
Dylan earned the starting shortstop job early in his freshman season at Villanova and became a fixture in the Wildcats’ lineup. Over three seasons, he appeared in 83 games with 80 starts, frequently hitting at or near the top of the order while establishing himself as a versatile and athletic defender.
He later transferred to the University of Maine, where his collegiate career culminated in an outstanding 2023 season. Dylan earned America East All-Conference Second Team honors after batting .299 with a .393 on-base percentage and .632 slugging percentage, while recording 10 home runs, 28 runs scored, 27 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 33 games before a season-ending hand injury.
Following his playing career, Dylan turned his focus toward athletic development and performance training. A Certified Functional Strength Coach with advanced study in biomechanics and biology, he most recently served as Director of Fitness & Health at 5 Tool Performance in Massachusetts. There, he worked directly with athletes to build individualized training programs based on movement quality, physical profile, sport-specific demands, and long-term development goals.
Dylan’s coaching philosophy emphasizes purposeful training, consistency, attention to detail, and the efficient development and transfer of strength and power. His objective is not simply to make athletes stronger, but to help them become healthier, more explosive, and more prepared to perform when it matters.
At Time to Sign, Dylan brings the perspective of someone who has lived the process from both sides. He progressed from a Time to Sign player and New England high school prospect to a starting Division I shortstop, an all-conference college player, and now a professional performance coach. Today, he uses that experience to help young athletes develop physically, understand what is required at the next level, and navigate the college baseball journey with greater purpose and preparation.

Zach Kokoska
Regional Director · Mid-Atlantic
Zach Kokoska brings firsthand experience at virtually every stage of the amateur and professional baseball journey to Time to Sign. A former Time to Sign student-athlete, Zach progressed from one of Pennsylvania’s top high school players to Division I baseball, an All-Big 12 career, the MLB Draft, and professional baseball with the Colorado Rockies organization.
A native of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Zach starred at Greater Latrobe High School, where he helped lead the Wildcats to the first WPIAL and PIAA Class 5A state championships in program history. His senior season was one of the most accomplished in Pennsylvania high school baseball, as he batted .538 while setting six school records and was named the 2017 Gatorade Pennsylvania Baseball Player of the Year and USA Today Pennsylvania Player of the Year.
During his high school career, Zach was also a Time to Sign player, giving him firsthand experience with the recruiting process and the organization he now helps represent.
Zach began his collegiate career at Virginia Tech, competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference before transferring to Kansas State University. In Manhattan, he developed into one of the most productive hitters in the Big 12.
His collegiate career culminated in an outstanding 2021 season in which he hit .363 with a .445 on-base percentage and .675 slugging percentage while recording 19 doubles, 15 home runs, 46 RBI, and 56 runs scored. He also reached base in 41 consecutive games, one of the longest streaks by a Kansas State player during the program’s Big 12 era.
Zach’s performance earned him First Team ABCA/Rawlings All-Central Region honors, Second Team All-Big 12 recognition, and a spot on the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team. Just as importantly, his success extended beyond the field. Zach was named a Second Team CoSIDA Academic All-American, earned multiple Academic All-Big 12 honors, and was twice selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team.
Following his collegiate career, Zach was selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 10th round of the 2021 MLB Draft. He has since advanced through the Rockies’ minor league system, reaching the Double-A level with the Hartford Yard Goats while establishing himself as a power and speed threat. Through the 2026 season, Zach has accumulated 75 professional home runs and 84 stolen bases.
At Time to Sign, Zach brings an especially valuable perspective because he has personally navigated the path the organization helps young players pursue. He went from a Time to Sign player and high school prospect to competing in two of college baseball’s premier conferences, becoming an Academic All-American, earning an opportunity in the MLB Draft, and building a professional baseball career.
His experiences allow him to speak honestly with young athletes about recruiting, development, academics, adversity, transferring, and the standards required to continue advancing in the game. Zach’s story represents the type of complete student-athlete development Time to Sign strives to provide: creating opportunities, making informed decisions, continuing to develop, and being prepared when the next opportunity arrives.
