Coach Joe is a true baseball enthusiast and loves working toward the betterment of the game. He is very detailed and relatable to our 9 year old that is just now getting into kid pitch baseball. He had him throwing strikes within one session and Brian looks forward to our weekly meetings with Coach Joe. I coach football and know a good coach when I see one. Very prompt and great communication. 10 out of 10 would hire him again.
