My understanding of pitching goes beyond just trying to throw hard!
My understanding of pitching goes beyond just trying to throw hard!
Today's game is focused on throwing hard and having the best stuff in the game. Not to say that's not important, it is. However, there is much more to pitching than just having the stuff. You have to know how to use the stuff, when to use it, and how set up the hitter for a strikeout, or whatever the situation calls for. You don't need to have the best stuff, you just have to know how to use it. I learned from old souls of the game to teach my pitchers the "Art of pitching".

Get to know Coach Jason
About Me:
I am native of Upland California. I have played baseball since I was nine years old, and I've been in love with it ever since. My baseball career reached professional status. I played two years with Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Organization where I completed two seasons before I got released. I eventually landed with another professional baseball team called the Evansville Otters, which played a full season. I have gained a lot of knowledge during my playing career, and I furthered my knowledge of game, especially the mental side of being a professional athlete.
How I can help you improve your game:
My strength is being able to get a pitcher to understand how to use their body efficiently on the mound. I will teach them how to develop a consistent release point which will improve their ability to throw strikes and place the ball where they want it to go. I will teach them how to incorporate their lower half which help gain velocity and prevent arm injury. I will teach them proper arm care and body maintenance after throwing. I will teach them how to tunnel and pitch sequence to win the game of chest against the batter. I will teach them power of the mind in what I like to call "Bulldog Approach" which will give them confidence and strong mound presence. I will teach them how to grip and throw certain pitches that minimize arm injuries and create more spin on the ball. All of these techniques will improve their game and turn them into elite pitchers of the game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will include A warm up session to get the body nice and warmed up so they ready to go. I will go over the session and what we will be training on for that day. I will take through a throwing program that builds slowly and effectively with a purpose behind every Throw. from the throwing session we will then proceed with a lesson, followed by bullpen with me as the catcher. I will end the session with suggestions and homework for them to practice when I am not with them. Each session will draw from the last. Each player will be coached differently based on their goals.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was a Head Coach for a travel team called the PFA Hawks. I coached for the entire summer of 2022 until the winter time. My team was the 9-10 year old team. I am currently a pitching instructor for kids, amateur, and professional baseball players. I also am a Personal trainer at 24 hour fitness which gives me skills in teaching exercise training specific to the persons goals.
Best coach I ever had:
The best that I played for was a coach by the name of John Altobelli at Orange Coast College. He was a legendary coach of the game who won the award for best College baseball coach in the country. In 2014 we won State Championship for Junior Colleges under his leadership. He was a father figure and someone I looked up to a person and a player. He passed away in 2020 from an accident that involved Kobe Bryant, to whom he was very close to. I miss him and his family to this day and devote my success in this game to him.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
What parents and athletes should know about me is that I understand the mental grind it takes to succeed in this game at a high level. I want them to understand that the key to success in any endeavor is self-discipline. With that, there is no mountain to tall, or road to dangerous that can stop you for achieving your goal. If you do what is needed, and you have prepared to your best ability, your goals will be reached. Preparation plus luck equals opportunity.

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 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.
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.
