Hitting & Fielding Lessons
About
I had the great fortune to learn baseball tips from some legendary baseball players and managers. I learned to hit a curveball from Dusty Baker. Dusty told me what he had learned from hitting behind Hank Aaron and that was extremely influential. I have had coaching with 4 time NL Batting Champ Bill 'Mad Dog' Madlock and been a player/manager for various Amateur/Independent Baseball leagues in AZ, TX, CA & MN for nearly 20 years. I was the player/manager for our team that won the NABA World Series Championship in 25+ division in AZ in 2018.
Having played for top 25 ranked NCAA teams, I have seen a great deal of baseball and played in/and or managed nearly 1000 games since college.
HS/College Players looking to get to the next level would do well in working with my tips. The lessons I share, I have learned from top MLB players, managers & minor league coaches.
I enjoy the smile I see on a players face when they put the swinging or fielding tips I share with them into action.
Not only should the training I provide players help improve their game, it should help them be more comfortable and consistent with their mechanics.
