I’m a left-handed pitcher who played four years of college baseball and topped out at 89 mph, despite being undersized. I’ve worked with a wide range of pitchers and focus on building individualized plans that fit your strengths and goals — not a cookie-cutter approach. I prioritize thorough evaluations, honest feedback, and a plan built around who you are on the mound. I believe the mental side of pitching is more important than anything else. Tracking data and velocity have their place — but without the right mindset, they don’t get you on the field in college. My coaching helps pitchers develop confidence, composure, and a game-ready mentality. I’m here to support local athletes with flexible rates and a clear mission: to help you become the best version of yourself on the mound.
