Get to know David
Division III College Baseball Pitcher and High School OF/3B
I’m a passionate and dedicated baseball coach with over 20 years of playing experience and a lifelong love for the game. I grew up eating, sleeping, and breathing baseball—from playing as a power-hitting outfielder and third baseman in high school, to pitching at the collegiate level for SUNY Maritime, and later competing with the Queens Stingaz after college. I was even recently invited to try out for the Long Island Ducks. In addition to my playing career, I’ve coached and trained athletes at various levels, helping them develop both the technical skills and mindset needed to excel. My focus is on sharing the key pitching and hitting techniques that helped me play for as long as I did, while also nurturing a genuine love for the game—just like my mentors did for me. I’m also a working professional with a deep understanding of the business side of the sport, having interned and worked full-time for five years at Major League Baseball’s Office of the Commissioner. Whether you’re looking to improve your game or build your baseball IQ, I bring a well-rounded approach grounded in experience, passion, and results.
How I can help you improve
I help players clean up their mechanics, build baseball IQ and learn how to compete. On the pitching side that means a repeatable delivery, strikes and arm care that follows the Pitch Smart guidelines. On the hitting side it means a short swing, hands inside the ball and using the whole field. On the mental side it means a next-pitch routine, controlling what you can control and carrying yourself the same way after a strikeout as after a double.
A typical training session
Every hour touches the whole game. We start with a dynamic warm-up and agility work, move into throwing and pitching, spend the biggest block on hitting with tee work and live toss, then fielding and base running. We finish with a quick compete game so the last thing your player does is win something. Before we leave they tell me one thing they did well and one thing to work on and I give them a five-minute drill to do at home. Parents get a two-minute recap after every session.

What athletes & parents should know
I do this for the love of the game and the love of youth sports. I've been in your player's shoes and I remember the coaches who made the game fun and made me better at the same time. That's the coach I try to be. You're welcome at every session, every lesson happens in an open public space and I track pitch counts so arms stay healthy. Beyond the hour on the field I'm building tools so parents can follow progress, see the at-home drills and work on mental readiness together. The goal isn't just a better swing. It's a confident kid who loves playing.

My shy ten year old hit it off with coach David at the trial lesson, and he begged me to sign him up for more lessons! Got a lot squeezed in in the one hour, and we could already see improvement in his game.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
