About
Currently the new Head Pitching Instructor at Champion Pt & Performance! Scott was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays out of Auburn University, where he graduated with a degree in Physical Health & Activity. He spent four seasons as a top prospect in the Tampa Bay before spending time in the San Francisco Giants and Toronto Blue Jays systems. During his time in those organizations, throwing in excess of 100 mph, Scott averaged better than 14 strikeouts per nine innings of work.
Over Scotts 14 year professional baseball career he held Atlantic League career marks for earned run average (2.23) and strikeouts per innings pitched (12.4) among pitchers with 200+ career innings in the circuit. He also accrued international experience, having pitched in Mexico, Venezuela and Australia during his 14-year career.
Scott completed an internship with Cressey Sports Performance where he learned to evaluate athletes through an assessment of body mechanics. He then developed programs off those assessments to coach athletes through the proper regimens and incorporate that information into pitching workouts.
Scott is passionate about giving athletes the opportunity to maximize their God given potential on the diamond. With the education, training and playing for most of his life, Scott is ready to pass his knowledge onto the next generation to better help athletes achieve their dreams and goals.

How did you get started teaching?
My Dad is a hall of fame high school baseball coach in Georgia so I've been around baseball my whole life! Watching him help kids develop and grow in the game of baseball created a passion for coaching in myself!
What types of students have you worked with?
I train athletes of all ages!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Expect the game to be made simple for you in a way where you can compete and think about the right things at the same time!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Do you love playing the game and what position do you like playing? Training for a position you don't want to play will be a waste of time! Baseball is meant to be fun and if you aren't having fun then what's the point!
