About
I'm a former MLB draftee and played minor league Baseball for several years. I've been Coaching for over 40 years and ran a Baseball Academy for 7 years. I'm currently the President of the of Historic Hamtramck Stadium.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching the basic fundamentals of Baseball. There is no greater gratification than seeing a pupil or player execute the proper mechanics during a highly competitive game. Typically, you start to see their confidence level begin to increase. After that a player will desire to work even harder to reduce their weaknesses and sharpen their skills.
