About
I do ONLY one on one unless requested. Played professionally for over 8 years, up to the AAA level. Have been giving hitting and pitching instruction, full-time for over 12 years. I’ve been involved with baseball for a few decades now and travel the world coaching. Baseball has taken me to five continents. I take players with and coach for Caliendo Sports International. Annually, we take players somewhere for a cultural and playing experience. We have traveled to Italy, Japan, The Dominican Republica, Canada, and Australia. What we try to do is take American baseball to the World. Some of our future travels will take us to Cuba, Taiwan, and Panama. When I go coach with Team America, I select many of the players from the players I work with. The other players come from other areas of United States. I only ask one question, will you be one of the ones I choose to want one of these trips?
I get to work with kids of all ages. I love and have had the pleasure of watching them grow from boys and girls to men and women. It also helps keep me young. At least that’s what my wife says. On the other side of the coin, my ex-wife says I never grew up. The funny thing is, I think they’re both right. LOL!!! I crack myself up. Anyway, good thing is, it keeps me in baseball. How do they say it,”I can’t sing or dance.
