Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Parker
If you’re tired of training on your own and don’t know what the next step is, come train with me. I have been playing baseball ever since I first started walking, and I am still playing the game I love 20+ years later. We will work on the fundamentals, we will work on the preparation, and we will become a better pitcher. I have a ton of experience that I have learned along the way and I want to share this knowledge with others.

About Me:
I attended Sacramento State University from 2017 through 2020. My freshman year in 2017 I was the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the year. As a junior, I got drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 27th round. I did not end up going to the Dodgers this year and I wanted to go back for my senior year of school. In the few weeks of my senior season, I reached a milestone and ended up being the pitcher having the most strikeouts in school history. Senior year was cut short due to Covid. At the end of this year, I got signed to go play for the Pittsburgh Pirates minor league. I also played for the Cincinnati Reds minor-league system as well as 2 1/2 seasons playing independent baseball in Indiana.
How I can help you improve your game:
At first, I believe someone can improve their game based off the fundamentals. After we’ve worked on the fundamentals, we can go more into pitching grips and how the ball moves on based on your pitches. Every pitcher is different and nobody is alike. There may be one thing that works for one pitcher, but it is completely different with seeing the different styles of pitching can help.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will begin with a dynamic warm-up, then some plyo balls, bands, playing catch, drills, and then getting off the mound and working on what we need to work on that day, and ending with a post throw workout.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching background involves pitching lessons that I have done in the last few years. I have worked with kids ages five through high school kids.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve played for is one that I played for in Little League. This coach of mine taught me the basics and the fundamentals that I carry with me today. At the end of the taught he always preached to have a good time playing this game.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
If there is one thing that I want parents to know about me, is that this game has given me so many opportunities to play, to meet new people, and to visit different cities. All of this is due to the way I was brought up and I learned the game of baseball and my passion for this game. All of that I want to give to the next generation of kids playing this game. This game is beautiful and I will always love it.

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!
