RK Baseball Training
About
I have a proven track record of coaching baseball players of all abilities and levels from beginners to High-School All Americans. I have coached many Division 1 players who are or were student-athletes at places like South Carolina, Wake Forest, Appalachian State, Columbia, High Point, James Madison, UNC-Asheville, Tennessee, and Northwestern. I have also worked with many Division II and III players that went on to play at Stonehill, Amherst, Colby, Bowdoin, and the University of Chicago. Four of my former players have been named High School All Americans and 1 was selected in the first round of the 2013 MLB First Year Player Draft.
All of my sessions will include the same drill work that I would do with any All-American, but tailored to the specific athlete and what he or she wants to accomplish. I am also a very big proponent of using video feedback to improve fundamentals and maximize an athlete's skill set.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A one hour sessions will typically include:
- Dynamic warm up involving short plyometric and yoga inspired movements to get legs and core engaged
- Position specific throwing with player
- Front toss to get player accustomed to see ball of bat and to diagnose specific areas to work on
- Tee work focusing on areas identified during front toss
- Live batting practice to incorporate instruction received during front toss and tee work
- Either conditioning and/or position specific work
Of course, sessions will be planned in conjunction with what player wants to work on or has been previously working on. More or less time will be spent on certain drill work or areas on certain days based on what the player needs to or wants to work on.
