Former pro outfielder and hitting coach building confident, game-ready hitters.
Phoenix-based former pro outfielder with the Marlins, Mariners, and Angels, I now develop high school, college, and pro hitters. As Executive Director and roving hitting instructor at Show California Baseball, I blend clean mechanics, approach training, and measurable plans—video, bat speed and quality-of-contact checkpoints—to turn reps into game-day results. Parents and athletes get honest evaluations, recruiting guidance, and clear communication. With 17+ years leading client success off the field, I coach with discipline, accountability, and outcomes you can see on the field.

Get to know Coach Eddie
About Me:
Former professional outfielder in the Florida Marlins, Seattle Mariners, and Los Angeles Angels organizations, later a hitting instructor and Executive Director of Show California Baseball (NorCal). I’ve coached hitters at the high school, college, and professional levels and now split time between player development and senior leadership work in Phoenix, AZ. I also bring 17+ years in sales, client management, and customer experience—so my coaching is goal-driven, structured, and measured. (NASM-CPT, CSNC, CPBC, Virtual Coaching certified.)
How I can help you improve your game:
Hitting, simplified: Clean sequence, barrel accuracy, and approach by count/pitch type.
Power with control: Bat-speed and attack-angle work without sacrificing contact quality.
Game-ready plans: Scouting-based approach building (hot/cold zones, swing decisions).
Outfield play: First step, routes, wall work, transfer & throw efficiency.
Speed & baserunning: Acceleration mechanics, reads, and situation IQ.
Mental skills: Routine, confidence, pressure reps, between-pitch resets.
Recruiting/pro pathing: Honest evals, exposure strategy, and communication coaching for families.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Quick check-in (5 min): Goals for the day; prior homework review.
Movement prep (10 min): Hips/torso/shoulders; pattern priming tied to today’s focus.
Tee & constraint drills (15–20 min): Sequence, path, and contact-quality constraints.
Machine/live (20–25 min): Velo/shape that matches your level; approach reps & game ABs.
Defense or speed block (10–15 min): Outfield routes/throws or acceleration/baserunning.
Cool-down & plan (5–10 min): Key clips, 1–2 focus cues, written homework until next session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Pro ball: 10 years across Marlins, Mariners, Angels organizations; invited to try out for the USA Olympic team. Leadership/ownership: Executive Director & Roving Hitting Instructor, Show California Baseball (NorCal). Founder: Christian Athletixx Baseball Instruction (Oakland, CA). Coordinator roles: Northern CA MLB Scout Team Hitting Coordinator; High School Development Program Director—Golden Era Baseball. Instructor/coach: E3 High Performance (Los Angeles); Nor-Cal Bulls (Elk Grove, CA); Baseball Mentoring Program (Sacramento, CA); Griffey International Baseball School. S&C: Lewis & Clark College Baseball Strength & Conditioning Coach (Portland, OR). Player ID/scouting: Milwaukee Brewers Scouting Development School (Maryvale, AZ). Placement & advancement: Helped athletes move to college and professional opportunities via structured development + exposure.
Best coach I ever had:
Dave Snow at Long Beach State University - The best coach I had blended clarity and accountability: he kept the message simple (one or two cues), demanded repeatable habits, and measured progress every week. He taught me to own my plan, not just my swing—a standard I carry into every session.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Development > hype: We focus on skills that show up in games, not Instagram.
Simple, measurable work: One change at a time, tracked with video and clear checkpoints.
Transparent communication: You’ll know where you stand, what’s next, and why.
Whole-athlete view: Mechanics, strength, speed, and the mental game move together.
Recruiting honesty: Right level, right fit, right timeline—no shortcuts, no false promises.
Character & consistency: Compete hard, be coachable, respect the work. That’s our brand.

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!
