Cody R.

I have been coaching and training baseball players for about 5 years. I worked as a counselor at UCLA Baseball camps in the summers and winters while I was playing and enrolled there. I have also been doing private lessons for the past 5 years, with kids ranging from 6 up to 17 years old. In the spring of 2014 I was a coach for Glendora High School's junior varsity baseball team.

After playing 3 years of varsity baseball at Glendora High, I received a scholarship to play ball at UCLA. In my 4 years there I went to the College World Series 3 times, winning the National Championship in 2013. Following the 2013 championship season I attended the ESPN Espy's Award Show, where I personally accepted the Capitol One Cup on behalf of UCLA Athletics. I enjoyed my most successful season at UCLA in 2010 when I was named an All-Pac 10 Honorable Mention Selection. That same season I also earned All-Tournament honors at both the Los Angeles Regional and the College World Series. I finished my collegiate career as UCLA Athletic's all time leader in career postseason games played. I am UCLA Baseball's leader in career postseason home runs, RBI, runs scored, hits, and walks. In the spring and summer of 2014, I played professionally in Paris, France in the French Baseball Federation. I enjoyed a very successful season, earning the MVP award while leading the league in batting average, RBI, runs scored, home runs, and doubles. In the spring and summer of 2015 I played for the Kane County Cougars, the single A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. I was selected to the Midwest League All-Star Game and finished the season among the top 15 in numerous offensive statistics, while playing 5 different positions.

A typical session with me lasts about an hour.

A typical session consists of:

-Stretching Program

-Speed/Baserunning Work

-Catch Play (Defensive Sessions)

-Defensive Skill Work (Variety of drills focused on footwork, hands, and quickness)

-Offensive Skill Work (Variety of drills focused on swing mechanics)

-Groundball Progression (Defensive sessions)

-Short Distance Front Toss (Offensive sessions)

-Batting Practice (Offensive sessions)

-Discussion of the mental side of the game

Depending on the type of work requested as well as the age of the player, there are a wide variety of drills I can and will implement into each session. Each session can be offensive based or defensive based. I can also do hybrid sessions that consist of both offense and defense.

I will send a report after each session detailing progress made by the player, as well as what aspects of the game to work on for the next session.

NOTE:
For any clients that wish for me to travel to them for a session, I will only travel if there is a field or facility to work out at!! Any costs will be added to the price of the session!
