Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Hitting is a slow progression. I start with drills on the tee and will not progress to soft toss until the hitter has showed the consistency he or she is supposed to show to move forward. Every hitter must get to certain points in their swing to become consistent. I will do a lot of video work as well. The player will Hear it, Feel it and then see it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been involved in baseball since I could walk. I grew up in California and moved out here after playing two years at Bakersfield JC. I played at Avila University in Kansas City then became the Head Coach there for 10 years. I built that program into a National Power house. We won 6 Conference Titles, 3 Regional Titles amd 1 National Tournament appearance. We were always in the top 8 in the country in hitting as a team as well. I was the Head Coach as well as the hitting Coach. I won 5 Coach of the Year Awards for the conference and 1 Regional Coach of the as well. I then went to Rockhurst University in 2012 and we were two outs from the NCAA Div 2 World Series that year.
Now I am the Head Hitting instructor for Homefield at all three locations in the KC Metro Area.
