Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Luke
I will focus my training on meeting the athlete's goals while keeping an emphasis on health and hard work. Injuries have become common at every level of baseball especially when it comes to pitchers. As a pitcher myself injures were a major roadblock coming out of high school and entering into college. I've had three years professional experience as a pitcher, and while I can't prevent all injuries, I can promise to teach all my athletes the right ways to properly prepare with stretching and arm care so that risk is minimized.

About Me:
I went to a small Division 3 school named Birmingham Southern College out of King High School. There I was a part of being runner-up in the College World Series in 2019 and a regional runner up in 2021. I wanted to continue my career after graduation an tried out for Independent League teams around the country. from 2022-2024 I was in the United Shores Professional Baseball League in Utica Michigan. I was a 2x All-star and 2x All-League relief pitcher in 2022-2023.
How I can help you improve your game:
A lot of what I focus on as an athlete and teacher is preparation. I believe if you form healthy habits that lead to improvement than success is a byproduct of your work. I can help younger kids in any aspect of baseball, but pitching, throwing, arm strength, and arm care are things that were my specialty.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I will lead my athletes through a series of stretches and teach them band routines that any baseball player needs to know. I will then lead them through drills that will help develop movement patterns for throwing, hitting, or fielding. I will then let them have fun and let loose during the main focus of the session be that throwing/pitching, hitting BP, or fielding practice. Lastly, some cardio or cool down work.
Career summary and accomplishments:
While I have no official coaching experience, I have worked with many young athletes during my own training at facilities and tried to be a mentor to them. I have had to work with younger teammates in the past and have run many camps during my years in college and at the USPBL.
Best coach I ever had:
Darwin Marerro who was a local pitching coach who is now the AAA pitching coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. I met him when I was 11-12 and he took me from being cut outright my first year in high school to achieving a childhood dream of playing pro ball. As a coach he was a perfect calming and reassuring voice to have that gave me confidence while pushing me to improve. It was always clear he had my best interest at heart, and I want to build that kind of relationship with athletes I take as clients.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I was not a physically gifted athlete compared to most I played with in professional baseball. I have gotten cut from many teams including high school and many travel ball tryouts as a kid. I know what it takes to go from having roadblocks as a young athlete and the work it takes to achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
