About
My Name is Coach Daniel Soto. I have been coaching softball and baseball since 1996, having moved exclusively to softball in 2012. I have had the privilege of coaching young athletes from the Tee-Ball level all the way up to College Softball. I have worked with countless Division 1, Division 2, and NAIA Baseball/Softball players, and have a knack for turning around players and programs that others have given up on.
I have led multiple teams to their most successful seasons, shortly after taking them over, culminating with a CIF Div 2 Championship during my time as head coach at Venice High School.
I pride myslef on my knowledge of the game and my ability to teach the skills required to succeed. I specialize in hitting instruction and fielding instruction (both infield and outfield). And as an added bonus I throw all of my own batting practices (yes full windmill softball)! No machines or half toss! I have always felt that live BP is imperative to teaching timing and loading in a swing.
Contact me for lessons and I guarantee you will not be disappointed in the results!
It has been a true blessing to watch young athletes I have worked with go on to realize their dreams and become college softball/baseball players. There simply is no greater reward!
