Coach Ryan W. provides baseball lessons in Sherman Oaks at Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks Recreation Center

 

Short Bio:

My name is Coach Ryan Williams and I love being a baseball coach and helping my players learn the game of baseball. I have played baseball for over 19 years as a pitcher and first baseman. I am excited to implement in my lessons everything I’ve learned along the way from so many great teachers and coaches. I take pride in teaching great baseball mindset and confidence, but my main passion and strength is teaching young players how to be successful pitchers and what it takes to maintain strong, healthy, and durable arms. I also love teaching first baseman skills as well. From the offensive side, I work hard to help my hitters create a better understanding of what they are doing at the plate and how to create hitting routines to help them become their best.

I have been a baseball coach for 5+ years both as a high school varsity coach and as the head coach of a competitive men’s league team in Los Angeles. I understand what it takes to get to the next level and I want to impact my players/athletes in the best way and help them achieve their goals. My excitement and enthusiasm in coaching is when I get to see my player’s growth over time, especially those who really love the game and stick to their work ethic over time.

Coaching Experience:

• Head Varsity Coach , Fulton High School (21-22) & (22-23)
• PCBL Drillers Mens League Manager and Coach 2019- current

Playing Experience:

• Little league – SVBL in Simi Valley from age 5-14
• High school – ABDG Mets 4 years in Thousand Oaks California as a pitcher and first baseman. Won championship my junior year.
• College – 1 full summer on the Moorpark college club team
• PCBL Mens league 2017-current (Player and Manager)
• Top 5 in Cy young voting 4 of 5 seasons.
• 2022 PCBL Allstar (pitcher)
• Career – 6 complete games, and 1 complete game shutout, 1 no-hitter

A lesson with me:

A lesson with me is always fun and productive and I always make sure that my players leave knowing they’ve learned something as well as have homework to work on until I see them again. When we get rolling with our session, we will spend about 10-12 min doing a proper warmup. Stretching, arm care, and long toss are very important for a player’s longevity and avoiding injury, as well as overall throwing mechanics. While throwing I work to offer feedback to my player to help them make adjustments along the way as needed.

Depending on the player’s lesson needs, I will work on teaching proper throwing and pitching form while throwing bullpens, different pitch grips, recovery and conditioning exercises, defense work, Etc. If we are focusing on hitting, I always do my best to throw live batting practice to my hitters when it is safe and there is sufficient space on the field.

My favorite motivational quote:

“Champions always find a way.”

Lesson FAQ

How do I book a lesson with this coach?

All lessons must be booked through MADE Baseball.

Click the “Booking & Availability” button on this coach’s profile to view their live calendar and reserve your lesson time.

After booking, the coach will text you directly within 24 hours to confirm and introduce themselves.

Is equipment provided, or should I bring my own?

Players should bring their own glove, bat, helmet, and any other personal gear needed to train.

Coaches will provide baseballs and additional training equipment as needed, but players are expected to come prepared with their essentials.

How Do I Prepare for My Lesson?

Preparing for your lesson:

At MADE Baseball, we want every player to show up confident, focused, and ready to improve. Here’s how to prepare so you get the most out of your session:

✅ What to Bring:

  • Baseball glove
  • Bat (if hitting will be involved)
  • Helmet (required for any live thrown batting practice)
  • Water bottle – stay hydrated!
  • Cleats or turf shoes – depending on field surface (normally cleats are best)
  • Positive attitude, coachability, & enthusiasm

📍 Before You Arrive:

  • Arrive at least 5 minutes early so we can start on time
  • Review your goals or any areas you’d like to focus on
  • Stretch or lightly warm up if possible
  • Use the restroom beforehand to maximize lesson time

⚾ Working with a MADE Coach:

  • All MADE coaches are trained to make lessons fun, effective, and development-focused
  • Be ready to learn, have fun, ask questions, and put in some work!
  • If a second player was added to the lesson, your coach will structure the time for both players

💬 Questions?

Text us anytime at 1-877-MADE-888 if you need help or have questions before your lesson!

Where will the lesson take place?

Each MADE Baseball coach trains at their own designated location — typically a local park or field in the area. You can find their general training location listed on their coach profile page before booking.

Once your lesson is confirmed, your coach will text you with exact meeting spot details for that day. Since some parks can be quite large and public field availability can vary by time, day, or season, the specific meeting location within the park may change from session to session, although not common.

To help you find them easily, coaches are instructed to provide an annotated map, visual reference, or share their location with you when necessary. If you ever have trouble locating your coach, don’t hesitate to text or call them directly.

✅ We always recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to ensure the full lesson can start on time without stress or delay.

What happens if the field is unplayable due to rain?

MADE Baseball coaches conduct all lessons at outdoor public parks and fields — we do not use indoor facilities.

As a result, we are always subject to weather and field conditions. If it’s raining or has recently rained (typically within the past 24–72 hours), the field may be deemed unplayable by your coach for safety reasons.

If your coach determines the field is unsafe or unfit for use, your lesson will be credited in full and can be rescheduled for a later date.

We always do our best to perform the lesson but we prioritize the safety of both players and coaches, and we appreciate your understanding when weather conditions require a change of plans.

How do payments work?

All payments are processed securely through the MADE Baseball website at the time of booking.

You can book single lessons or save by purchasing a lesson package.

Coaches do not accept payment directly. This keeps things simple, secure, and ensures your spot is reserved on the coach’s calendar.

Can siblings share a package?

Yes — siblings can share both lesson packages and camp day packages.

This makes it easy and affordable for families with more than one player to train and improve together.

Just let your coach know at the first session how you’d like to split the sessions between your players.

What if I’m late to the lesson?

If you’re late, the coach will do their best to work with you — but your lesson time may still end as originally scheduled.

If the coach has flexibility in their schedule, they may extend your session, but this is not guaranteed.

We encourage everyone to arrive early, ready to go, so you can make the most of your session.

What should I expect during the first session?

Your first session is all about getting to know your player — their goals, skill level, and personality.

While we don’t officially call it an “assessment,” your coach will observe and coach throughout the session to get a full picture of where your player is and what they need most.

From there, we’ll build a personalized plan to help them grow and improve as quickly as possible — while keeping the process fun, focused, and confidence-building.
