NYS Baseball Training

My name is Michael O’Brien. I am the Head of Baseball Operations/Training at Name Your Sport training and entertainment facility in Runnemede, NJ. I played baseball for 15+ years and I currently coach varsity baseball at Triton Regional High School. As my baseball playing career has come to an end, I am eager to keep the game alive by sharing my knowledge and experience with young athletes. I am passionate about the sport of baseball, and I hope to work with athletes who share that passion in order to make them the best player they can be.

I offer private hitting and fielding lessons to players who feel they may be struggling at the plate or simply just want to put themselves above the competition. My lessons are offered in a one-on-one setting for a more personal session or a small group of up to four athletes to ensure each player receives the same amount of individualized feedback. I plan to work diligently with the athletes to strengthen their skills and give them a better understanding of the game. Likewise, with the HitTrax system at Name Your Sport, I will be able to videotape players’ form and monitor statistics in order to observe progression. Given that I am a younger trainer who is recently retired from the sport, I believe I will be able to connect with young athletes and relate to them in a way other trainers cannot. My ultimate goal is to build connections with my clients in a way that it will not only make them a noticeably better player, but it will also make them fall in love with the game just like I did.

I enjoy working with young athletes because when I was their age I was able to receive instruction from many great coaches that allowed me to go on to the college level. Having experienced all these different coaching styles and ideologies I am looking forward to transferring my knowledge to the next generation of baseball players.
