Get to know Coach Joshua

About Me:

I am a former professional pitcher with more than 10 years of professional baseball experience, including 4 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Houston Astros. As a coach, I combine firsthand experience at the highest level of the game with a passion for developing young athletes. I focus on proper mechanics, arm care, confidence, mental toughness, and overall player development. My goal is not only to help athletes improve their performance on the field but also to build the discipline, work ethic, and character that will benefit them throughout their lives. Parents can trust that their child is learning from someone who has successfully navigated every level of the game and is committed to helping the next generation reach its full potential.

How I can help you improve your game:

I can provide individualized instruction tailored to each athlete’s age, skill level, and goals. My focus is on helping players develop the habits, work ethic, and baseball IQ needed to maximize their potential both on and off the field.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

A session with me is structured, energetic, and tailored to the individual athlete. We start with a proper warm-up and arm care routine to prepare the body and promote long-term health. From there, we evaluate mechanics, movement patterns, and overall delivery to identify areas for improvement.

Throughout the session, I provide clear, actionable instruction focused on improving velocity, command, consistency, and efficiency on the mound. Athletes receive real-time feedback and drills designed specifically for their needs and skill level. We also discuss the mental side of pitching—how to compete with confidence, handle adversity, and develop a winning mindset.

My goal is for every player to leave the session with a better understanding of their body, a plan for continued improvement, and the confidence to take their game to the next level. Whether the athlete is just starting out or pursuing college and professional opportunities, each session is designed to maximize development and build lasting habits for success.

Career summary and accomplishments:

* Over 10 years of professional baseball experience

* 4 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Astros (2018–2021)

* Known for a power fastball and strikeout ability

* Recorded 241 MLB strikeouts during his Major League career

* Helped contribute to multiple postseason-contending Astros teams

* Competed against and alongside some of the game’s top players

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was Brent Strom. His ability to communicate, develop pitchers, and build confidence had a tremendous impact on my career. He taught me the importance of understanding the ‘why’ behind adjustments, trusting the process, and continuously striving to improve. Many of the lessons I learned from Brent shape my coaching philosophy today, and I strive to bring that same level of knowledge, preparation, and player-focused development to every athlete I work with.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

Lessons with me are designed to help players develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to succeed both on and off the field. Drawing from over 10 years of professional baseball experience, including 4 seasons in Major League Baseball, I provide instruction based on what actually works at the highest levels of the game.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual athlete’s age, experience, and goals. We focus on proper mechanics, arm care, command, velocity development, and the mental side of pitching. My goal is not just to make players better today, but to give them the tools and habits that will help them continue improving long after the lesson ends.

Athletes can expect a positive, energetic environment where they are challenged, encouraged, and held accountable. Parents can expect honest communication, professional instruction, and a coach who is genuinely invested in their child’s growth and development. My mission is to help every player maximize their potential while building confidence, discipline, and a love for the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

  • 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.
