Coaching Credentials



Coaching That Translates at Every Level
I've coached baseball for 22+ years. As Head Coach of the Kalamazoo Growlers, I've had 77+ players drafted by MLB organizations and coached a dozen alumni to the big leagues — including Joey Loperfido (Blue Jays), John Schreiber (Royals), Zack Gelof (Athletics), Joe Boyle (Athletics), and Grant Wolfram (Orioles).
I'm also an Associate Scout with the Texas Rangers, which means I evaluate players through a pro lens every single week. That scouting eye comes with me into every lesson — you're not just getting drills, you're getting honest feedback from someone whose day job is identifying big-league talent.
The same approach that develops college and pro prospects works for youth players: break down the mechanics, build confidence through reps, and teach the mental side of the game. Whether your player is 10 years old or looking to get recruited, I'll meet them where they are.
What I Teach
- Hitting — swing mechanics, approach, pitch recognition
- Pitching — delivery, command, pitch design for older players
- Catching — receiving, blocking, pop times, game-calling
- Defense / Fielding — footwork, reads, game speed reps
- Skill Evaluations — full breakdown by an MLB scout (Texas Rangers Associate)
