Coaching Style

My coaching style blends modern training tools with the old-school fundamentals that built the game. I use video analysis and performance data to help players refine their mechanics while emphasizing the fundamentals that create real results — defensive fundamentals, situational awareness, base running, and smart execution.

Sessions may include mechanical breakdown, performance metrics like exit velocity and launch angle, and mental performance habits. My goal is simple: help players become skilled, confident athletes who truly understand the game.

Coaching Experience

I’ve spent many years coaching baseball with a focus on developing confident, fundamentally sound players. I’ve worked with athletes at multiple levels, helping them improve their mechanics, baseball IQ, and understanding of the game.

My coaching focuses on:

  • Strong, repeatable fundamentals
  • Situational awareness and baseball IQ
  • Confidence, accountability, and mental toughness
  • A team-first mindset and strong work ethic

Practices are structured, energetic, and competitive, designed to challenge players and help them improve every session.

Playing Experience

I started playing baseball at the age of four and continued developing through Little League, junior high, high school, and college.

Along the way, I was fortunate to be part of a championship-winning team and was selected to play in an All-Star Game where I hit a home run.

Today, I still compete in Los Angeles’ LABL, where I play starting shortstop and continue to be selected to the league’s All-Star Game regularly.

Continuing to play the game keeps me connected to the sport and allows me to bring real, current experience into every session with the players I coach.

About

I’ve played baseball for more than 30 years and have spent the last 15 years coaching and developing players. Baseball has always been a huge part of my life, and I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge to help young athletes improve their skills, build confidence, and develop a true understanding of the game.
