Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Riley
I have played the game of baseball for over 20 years. As much as I love playing the game, helping others reach their goals and potential is something I love just as much. I played Division 1 baseball for four years and D2 for my last year of college. Recently just completed my first year of professional baseball and want to share my knowledge and experience with others.

How I can help you improve your game:
I’m a big believer in everything works and everything sucks. There is no one perfect training or pitching routine. Everyone’s minds and bodies work differently. But whether it’s mechanics, lifting, nutrition, or mental, I will work with an individual on finding what works for them. Its process to improve an individual’s game, a process I am personally still going through, but I know the obstacles and challenges needed to become a better player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depending on the needs of the athlete will dictate the majority of the contents of a training session. But there are two universal principles in a successful pitcher. Number one is controlling the first move, how an individual starts a delivery will dictate the rest of the delivery. So making sure an athlete can control the start of a delivery will present in every training session.
Number two is control the middle of the body. Making sure the athlete is moving down the mound properly and putting themselves in positions to throw efficiently.
Career summary and accomplishments:
During college I would do lessons with kids in my area and have experience with ages from 10-18. While on college teams, I was surrounded by other hungry athletes who wanted to get better. We often spent practices or free time bouncing ideas and sharing experiences with each other. Often times my fellow teammates found it easier to talk to me about pitching than they did with our coaches.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had is my high school coach Jim Perry. He taught me how to play and approach the game of baseball as a professional would. As well as giving me the inspiration to play baseball at the next level.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
In high school, I was a homeschooled athlete. While I had many people who supported and helped my journey as a player. Many of my hours of work were on my own. Whether it was throwing at city parks by myself or driving to the gym after practice, I woke up everyday from my freshman year of high school with the intention of becoming a better baseball player. I’ve learned a lot about baseball over the last decade, as a college and professional athlete. From training, how to be a pitcher, pitch grips, the mental game, and want to pass that knowledge onto others.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
