About Me:
Throughout my professional career, I’ve played in multiple organizations and independent leagues including the Atlantic League, American Association, Frontier League, and Italian Baseball League. I also played winter ball in Venezuela and Colombia. I’m proud to be a three-time All-Star at the professional level. For a complete overview of my playing career, you can find my full bio on Baseball Reference.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help improve your game by offering personalized, hands-on coaching that draws from my extensive professional experience and deep understanding of athletic development. Whether it’s refining your mechanics in pitching, hitting, or fielding, or enhancing your mental approach to the game, I tailor my instruction to your specific needs. My focus is on building strong fundamentals while also helping you develop the strategic and mental skills necessary to succeed. Through consistent feedback, drills, and game-like situations, I guide you to make tangible progress and reach your full potential on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
For athletes aged 9-18, a typical training session is designed to build strong fundamentals while also advancing specific skills. Pitchers begin with age-appropriate arm care routines, followed by drills that focus on balance, mechanics, and pitch control, both on flat ground and the mound. Hitters start with basic tee work to develop a consistent swing, then move to front toss and live batting practice, where we work on timing, pitch recognition, and situational hitting. Fielders focus on footwork, glove skills, and throw accuracy, tailored to their position. Each session is interactive, with real-time feedback and drills that are both challenging and fun, ensuring steady progress and a solid foundation in the game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With six years of experience in individual and group coaching, along with two years dedicated to youth coaching, I’ve developed a coaching approach that consistently drives player progress. My methods have helped athletes elevate their skills and achieve measurable success on the field. As a proven winner, I focus on both the technical and mental aspects of the game, ensuring my players are well-rounded competitors. My coaching philosophy is centered on developing not just athletes, but confident, resilient individuals who excel in every aspect of the game.
Best coach I ever had:
At the professional level, the best coach I ever had was Pedro Grifol, the former big league manager for the Chicago White Sox. He provided me with invaluable opportunities, trust, and served as a true mentor in the game. His guidance and belief in my abilities were instrumental in my development as a player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge from my six-plus years as a professional player, combined with advanced education in sports management and athletic development. My approach to coaching is deeply rooted in both my personal experiences and a commitment to player growth, on and off the field. I focus on creating an environment where athletes can thrive, building their skills in pitching, hitting, and fielding while also fostering their mental and strategic understanding of the game. My goal is to mentor young athletes in the same way I was guided, ensuring they have the tools and confidence to succeed.

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.
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!
