Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Greg

Pitched for 3 Collegiate Levels

- Division I Towson University

- Division III University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg

- Junior College CCBC Dundalk

Was known for having a repertoire of 6 high movement pitches, the best ones being a changeup and a 2 seamer.

Called my own pitches at every level, was a true "student of the game", and approached pitch sequencing in creative ways that kept the hitters guessing.

By breaking things down into simple things to work on. Through a combination of video analysis, a general assessment of a player's strengths and weaknesses, and taking into account what a player wants to work on, I'll make a tailored gameplan for improvement. Additionally, we will work to improve some of the fundamental components that make a pitcher successful. An example of some of the categories are as follows:

Velocity and Spinrate, Command, Offspeed Pitches, Pitching Strategy and Baseball IQ, Mindset Coaching, Injury Prevention

In total this will result in a significant overall improvement, and increase a player's career trajectory (and we all want to play for as long as we can!).

Time: 1 Hour

Note: Training session may vary due to a player's pitching schedule.

- Warmup (throwing)

- Bullpen (Part 1)

- Break/Video Analysis (simulates dugout time)

- Bullpen (Part 2 - Try to make adjustments discussed in video analysis)

- Short Break

- Game Simulation (stand-in batter and pitch-calling)

The next part will be either no or light throwing, and depends on what we're working on. It could include:

- Video Analysis compared with MLB pitchers (to show "this is what it should look like")

- Additional Video Analysis using cutting-edge tools

- Pitch Sequencing Game

- Advanced pitching strategy

- Pitch grips

- Pitch release practice

- Pickoff moves

- Mindset discussion

- Mechanics drills

I will usually end a session by listing and demonstrating some optional at-home drills that a player can do throughout the week.

My dad, for so many reasons, but notedly for the following 3 lessons:

- Habits and mechanics are the foundations for everything, and thus are the most important things to work on. Everything else becomes much easier when you have good habits and mechanics.

- If you're going to do something, do it 100%.

- Don't try to do everything all at once. Start with the basics, and work your way up from there.

I have a background in baseball-specific data science, game theory, video editing and analysis, and am currently working as a programmer for virtual/augmented reality baseball applications.

I am up-to-date with current technology trends, and will be using them in the coaching sessions when necessary to aid in the learning experience. I am aware that sometimes technology gets a little overwhelming, and am very adept at simplifying things and only delivering pertinent information. However, if a player is interested, I'm also able to teach them how to utilize the tools themselves.

I am also very aware of the growing rate of arm problems seen in today's youth, and while some of the work we do may be to increase velocity, I will always be prioritizing arm health. I worked with both the Phillies' and Orioles' head physical therapists during my playing career, and will incorporate the core fundamentals of arm health that I learned from them.

Additionally, as someone who has played 3 different levels of college ball, I am very familiar with the different levels of play, and (if wanted) I can share my opinion on what level a player might be a good fit for. I can also aid in the production of a highlight reel, and provide insights to the recruitment process, with the goal of increasing the odds of a player joining the college team of their dreams.
