Book Lessons with Coach Joshua

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
