Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Cole

I’m Coach Cole, a professional pitcher for the Boise Hawks and former Division I two-way player at Baylor University and the University of California, Berkeley. Baseball has been my life’s passion, and I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to compete at the highest levels — preparation, consistency, and mindset. I’m big on leading by example and bringing the same energy, focus, and professionalism to every session that I bring to the field. My goal is to help young athletes develop both their skills and the mentality that fuels long-term success.

I help players become complete athletes — physically, mentally, and strategically. Whether it’s improving command and velocity on the mound, refining your approach at the plate, or developing a stronger mindset, I focus on the habits and details that separate good players from great ones. You’ll learn how to prepare with purpose, manage in-game emotions, and compete with confidence. I also bring my background in Health & Kinesiology to improve mobility, recovery, and arm care.

Each session starts with a quick conversation about your goals and what you’re working on, followed by a dynamic warm-up and focused drill work. Pitching sessions include mechanical analysis, sequencing, and command training, while hitting sessions focus on timing, approach, and situational execution. I emphasize communication and individualized feedback, ensuring every athlete walks away with clear, actionable takeaways and a plan for continued improvement between sessions. Every workout is designed to build confidence, accountability, and long-term progress.

I’ve been fortunate to play baseball at a high level throughout my career — from being a two-time Area Code Games alum in high school, to earning All-Conference and All-State honors at the junior college level. I played at Sacramento State and Folsom Lake College as a two-way player before continuing my career at Baylor University, where I earned a degree in Health and Kinesiology, and later at the University of California, Berkeley, where I completed my postgraduate studies in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship. At Cal, I made 24 appearances (6 starts), throwing 45.1 innings with a 3.38 ERA, 40 strikeouts, and a .209 opponent average while helping lead the team in the ACC. I’m now playing professionally for the Boise Hawks in the Pioneer League. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong foundation in leadership, preparation, and consistency—values I bring into every coaching session. Coaching and mentoring have become a natural extension of that journey, highlighted by my experience coaching Alpha Baseball’s high school sophomores and juniors.

The best coach I ever had was someone who cared more about the person than the player. He taught me that development isn’t just about throwing harder or hitting farther — it’s about becoming more disciplined, accountable, and confident in who you are. His approach showed me that great coaching is about connection, communication, and consistency, and that’s the same standard I hold myself to when I work with young athletes.

Athletes and parents should know that I truly care about each player I work with. I’m not just here to run drills — I’m here to help athletes grow in every aspect of their game and mindset. I lead with patience, honesty, and professionalism, and I take pride in making sure each player feels seen, supported, and challenged. My goal is to build confident, disciplined athletes who love the process as much as the game itself.
