I help clients establish goals for each session and if they are in season, help them establish goals for each game too. I stress the importance of education and making the right decisions not only on the field, but off the field and to incorporate these standards in their every day life. Not everybody can become a professional baseball player, but that doesn't mean you still can't be involved in baseball. For the love of the game, there are so many aspects and what goes on behind the scenes that you still can be a part of America's greatest pastime.

Client Reviews

great coaching, great written feedback, great follow through

Coach Dean is attentive and knowledgeable— paying attention to the little tweaks that can make all the difference. After just 3 sessions, my average and power have gone up and I’m quicker to balls on the infield. Easy to work with and a true baseball lover, I recommend Coach Dean 100%

Coach Dean is very helpful and encouraging. I know my son is gaining confidence working alongside him.

Coach T met with my son before a fall tournament and helped him focus on the mental aspect of pitching in high pressure situations. Coach T made the session personal, punctual, and did not feel rushed or like some assembly line camps we've been to. I would highly recommend Coach T.

Coach Dean is patient and really cares about his players getting better. He tries to break bad habits and instructs the kids it will take a lot of time and hard work. He is currently trying to correct my son’s casting of the bat which decreases power and bat speed.

He was very professional I like that he was very honest and clear when talking to my son gave Him a lot of tips I appreciate all the advice he gave my son, and definitely my son was more confident when going in to the field we were happy to schedule another training lesson with coach Dean

Coach Dean was approachable and encouraging. He provided the why’s to the what’s and gave assignments that will translate to improved performance. Wonderful experience.

Coach Dean was great with my son. He worked on batting techniques to tighten things up. It’s easy to see coach Dean has so much experience and he really listened to my son. Good chemistry between both of them. We will be booking more sessions to help take my son to the next level.

Coach really focused on what we agreed on. I can already see improvements. We look forward to more sessions!

Very happy with our first session. Worked on hitting and received valuable feedback on areas to improve and work on. So helpful to get one-on-one coaching and focus. Looking forward to our second session.

Coach Dean did really well with my son. My son tends to be shy and Dean made him feel comfortable.

Coach Dean was wonderful, we appreciated his professionalism and his encouragement. My son really liked coach Dean and wanted to perform for him. It made my son happy that Dean was happy with him.

Coach Tsutsui is very informed with Offense at the plate and defense behind and in front of the plate. Super friendly and nice. Facility is nice and big. I would recommend coach Dean to anyone looking for help with both offense and defense!

Great first session with my son. Dean has great knowledge of the game and my son loved working with him. 9 sessions to go 👍👍👍👍👍

Dean was a great coach. Very patient and knowledgable.
He helped Evan improve his swing and connect the bat to the ball!
Looking for a good coach. Call Dean!

Coach Dean has been helping my 10 yr old son improve his pitching and batting and giving him the confidence to be more aggressive at plate. He hasn’t had the opportunity to pitch in a game yet but hoping to be able to this week. Great to have Coach Dean focus on repeatable movement and what he specifically needs to do to be successful.

Coach Dean made an impact with our son on throwing technique. So much that our son passed on the advice he got to me, to us in our game of catch the next day. Excited for the next sessions

Our session with Coach Dean was very informative and valuable. He was able to identify the flaws in my son's swing and provide a lot of drills to improve and help him understand what makes a repeatable and successful swing. My son was able to take the information from our first session and quickly apply it in practice and games. We will definitely be coming back for more hitting and throwing lessons.

We enjoy working with Coach Dean. He has a ton of knowledge he imparts on the kids and has a teaching style the kids respect and pay attention to. Thanks!

Coach Dean was great with my son and he had fun with the lessons.. He brought supplies for drills targeted for my son's areas of need.

Also took away some drills to help him going forward.

My son is pretty young and coach Dean was very patient with him.

Thanks Dean for all the help!

Coach Dean has been a great teacher, coach, and motivator for our grandson. His pitching and hitting have improved tremendously because of his work with this coach. Our grandson is much more confident and has hit a double, a triple, and a single in the last two games. He also watches the ball much more closely and doesn't strike at balls. His pitching has become much more consistent.
We will definitely continue our grandson's work with Coach Dean T. Thank you coach!

Coach Dean has helped my 10 year old son and the change is significant. He helped improved my son's pitching mechanics. While my son used to be all arm, his accuracy improved, which, in turn made my son more comfortable in using his entire body to generate much more velocity. Coach Dean was able to effectuate change within just the first lesson. Coach Dean is professional and effective. I highly recommend him. -Marshall H.

Great with my son. After his first lesson, my son feels so much better about pitching. He feels he learned a lot.

Coach Dean has been great with our son. He was able to help our son gain 1-2 mph on his pitching and even came to see him play in a game on his own time. You can tell he has a passion for the game and has a great style with kids. We will be booking more sessions with Coach Dean.

Coach Dean is very knowledgeable about baseball and how to coach effectively. He got to know my son before the lesson started to understand his expectations and what he wanted to work on. Throughout the lesson, coach Dean made sure my son understood why he made changes to his batting stance and swing and how it would improve his power. Coach Dean is a great one-on-one coach because he has the patience and flexibility to cater to the athlete's learning style.

Coach Dean was real helpful with my sons swing. He looked at what he is doing right and just trying to improve his mechanics.

Dean is an excellent coach and communicator. We found with our son that often times the instruction got lost in translation with other coaches. With Dean, he explained the "how" and more importantly, the "why". Our son gained major confidence with Dean's instruction on batting and his performance in games was improved, as well. We highly recommend Dean!

Coach Dean has really helped our 10 year old son in both pitching and batting. Tait was in a early season hitting slump and his pitching what not what he was capable of. Coach Dean was able to evaluate Tait's pitching issues and through his coaching and drills was able to increase his control and velocity. The same goes with hitting as Tait is now hitting more consistently and with much better power. His confidence in both pitching and hitting as greatly increased and he is now having a lot more fun. It was obvious, beginning with our first session, that Coach Dean has a lot of coaching experience and he was able to cater that coaching to a ten year old's level. We initially signed up for three sessions and then signed on for three more due to the improvement we were seeing. Most importantly, Coach Dean was able to help Tait with the mental part of the game and helped with his concentration and thought processes when both hitting and pitching. I highly recommend Coach Dean. Todd

We want to say thanks to Coach Dean T. For all the great pitching and hitting sessions he spent with our son Dean. He has gained a lot more confidence. He is feeling stronger about his skills.

His last session is Saturday. We hope to pick up where he left off for ten more sessions starting in January.

Kudos to You Coach Dean T!!!

Coach Dean, does a really good job communicating with my 14 Yr. old son.

Dean, Thanks for helping me make my dream come true!
