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.

Passionate baseball coach and former collegiate pitcher with 20+ years of playing experience, including stints with SUNY Maritime and the Queens Stingaz. Dedicated to developing skills, mindset, and a love for the game—both on the field and off, with past experience at Major League Baseball’s Office of the Commissioner.
I help players sharpen their mechanics, build game IQ, and develop the mindset needed to perform at their best—drawing from my experience as a pitcher, power hitter, and coach.
A typical session with me is focused, high-energy, and tailored to your goals. We start with dynamic warm-ups, then dive into drills that build core skills—whether it’s pitching mechanics, hitting technique, or defensive work—followed by situational reps and feedback to sharpen your game every time.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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.
