Book Lessons with Coach Josh

We don’t just teach baseball—we build ballplayers. Led by a Navy vet and former pro, we offer real-deal instruction that helps players level up, whether they’re just starting out or chasing college dreams. From the dirt fields of Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Mesa, and the greater Phoenix area to virtual sessions coast-to-coast, including our Gulf Coast clients—we bring serious coaching, wherever you train.

We bring pro-level baseball instruction straight to your neighborhood. Whether it’s one-on-one batting or sharpening your fielding game, our sessions are built to match your grind. Led by a former pro ballplayer and Navy vet, we’re here to boost your skills and build real confidence—on and off the field.

Each lesson plan is tailored to the specific athlete, but we will typically start with an individualized warm up. For hitting, we will hit off the tee, working all sides of the plate. Working on hitting the ball at the correct depth for the pitch location. We will work personalized drills from there, then move into front toss. We will finish with live batting practice. Throughout the lesson, we will be discussing keys that have worked for me and discuss hitting theory to help understand the big picture.

For defensive work, we will begin with a full warm up, followed by a structured throwing plan to get our arms loose. We will dive into technical drills and work our way up to game simulated reps to put it all together.

For pitching lessons, we will begin with warming up our body, followed by a targeted throwing plan. While warming up our arms, I will be assessing direction, release point, accuracy, and other pieces of the pitching puzzle and actively giving feedback. Once we are warm, we will roll right into a bullpen. Just like hitting, power for pitching is derived "Ground Up", so we will be focused on enhancing our lower half and driving through the ground.

I take a holistic approach to all aspects of the game. There is not a one size fits all aspect to baseball, so we will pin point your player's weak points and devise a plan to make them strong points.

Turtle Thomas during my college career at FIU. I have had the pleasure of working camps and clinics since my playing days as well.

I have been everywhere and have done everything you can imagine when it comes to travel baseball, little league, showcases, high school ball, college ball, and pro ball. I know what it takes to make it to the next level, and I have been actively involved in youth and high school athletics for the past 10 years as a coach and player developer.
