Reese’s Pitching Lessons
About
I'm a current junior at Marian University in Indianapolis, where I pitch for the Knights baseball team. I am a right handed pitcher on the field, and a double-major in Marketing & Business Analytics off the field. I love helping other people, especially when we share a similar passion. Why me? I was named Hamilton County Player of the Year my senior year of HS, I earned All-Conference Honors as a freshman in college, and I've coached for the Noblesville Millers summer league team for incoming freshmen. I don't throw hard at all for my level of competition, but what's important is I know how to pitch. More importantly, I work for a company outside of baseball where I help college students grow professionally, personally, and financially. I won't only help your kid throw more strikes, I'll do my best to turn your son into a better young man.

The kids. Seeing them start to finish, and knowing I made an impact. I have had some great coaches, and some not so great ones. I want to be the coach that has players grow up to share their experience with their kids, or possibly have them be better fathers or husbands after I'm done coaching them.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I want to get to know them with a glove on, and a glove off. I don't want to just be their trainer, I want to be a mentor. Even though it's the truth, I don't want them to think I'm helping them for the money. This is my passion. Being only a few years older than they are, I need to become a person they can trust, that way they'll listen to what I have to say when I critique them.
But the best way I can put it into baseball terms, I will watch them warm-up, I will watch them play catch, I will watch them prepare to pitch, and I'll watch body language. I'll teach them how to increase their velocity and control, while at the same time how to control their mindset and focus.
A 90mph fastball or a dirty off-speed makes you a good thrower, but there's an art to becoming a pitcher. I haven't perfected it by any means, but I'd like to say I'm better than average. And lastly, your son will have fun. Because in the end, that's the only reason I do it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a double-major in business, studying Marketing and Business Analytics. I run my own company in Kokomo, Indiana, where I recruit, and train high school and college students how to sell knives and become better people. I served as the pitching coach for the freshmen summer team at Noblesville. And I've played the game since I could hold a ball, playing at the college level.
