More About Coach Don

I have been involved in Baseball since I was a young boy. I played through College . My carreer was cut short do to a knee injury. I have been involved with Baseball or Softball my entire life. I have five children & all of them paprticipated in Baseball or Softball along with other sports.I love the game and love Coaching & giving Hitting Lessons,it is my passon.
I am a Mike Epstein Ceritfied Hitting Instructor.
I teach from 5 yrs old to 70 yrs old
You are never to young or to old to swing a bat & learn new mechanics.
The feeling of hitting a ball in the gap is a feeling only a ball player can describe.

I start my lessons with a video review of your swing and we go from there.The swing starts from the ground up. I focus on proper mechanics & muscle memory.
My job as an instructor is to get the bat in the hitting zone & on time as much as possibe.
I use Video with all lessons and do have voice over anyalsis available.

The 2nd hardest thing to do in Basball -Softball is to hit the ball.
The #1 hardest things to do is is train someone to hit the baseball.
Why mess with the rest train with the best

Don was great! He coached my 13 year old son and helped him tweak his swing and break some unintentioned habits.

Great coach, highly recommended

Great coach.

Thank you Coach Don. We learned a lot Olin just our first session, we look forward to working with you and learning from you!!! Ray was comfortable from the start and looks forward to seeing what you have to teach!!

My 8 year old boy showed great improvement after 2 lessons

Coach Don was fantastic for my Little Leaguer (actually, for me as well!). He was able to break down the mechanics of a swing and then put it all together. He is truly the epitome of a great coach and works hard to make sure his students are grasping both the concepts and putting things into action. My only regret is not going to see Coach Don earlier!

Coach Don is amazing. He takes a simple yet very very effective approach. My 8 year old son started playing baseball about 6 months ago. In just 3 sessions we can see a complete change in his mechanics. His swing, stance and approach are night and day after just a few sessions. We are excited to continue and can’t wait to see his progression.

I think that Coach Don is GREAT! He is very knowledgeable and patient. His approach when teaching my kiddos is in-depth and detailed. He also provides encouragement which helps my kiddos enjoy playing the sport more. Thank Coach for all of your help!

Great coach. My son is 6yrs old so his attention span isn’t the greatest but he learned so much. Very detailed and provided so much information as he coached.

Great session with coach Don. He did a video analysis of my son's swing, identified a problem and then worked at correcting it. He explained in detail and also gave us some home work Looking forward to seeing him again as we perfect my son's swing.

Great personal coach ! Very patient and grasps the attention of my 5 year old grandson . (Which is hard to do) in his first 1 hour lesson , he’s already improved and losing some of his bad habits . Will definitely be back for more ! Can’t wait to get him back in there !

Coach Don helped my son gain his confidence. He’s very patient and knowledgeable. My son enjoyed his training. We saw the improvement in just one session.

Coach Don is great! It was hard to find a good and knowledgeable hitting coach in my area but I think I found one. My boys loved him and they can’t wait to have another batting practice session with him. He is not just sitting down and tossing balls at them but physically demonstrates every details of hitting motion. Highly recommendable.

Coach Don has helped my son work on his swing and is a great help in getting him to make contact. The drills he uses really helps enforce the correct techniques. Breaks down the whole swing and explains why each step is important overall. I am definitely signing up for more sessions with Coach Don to help my son get thru his first season of kid pitch and beyond.

Coach don was amazing. Worked on several drills, and explained it in several ways so my son could understand. Teaches not only the kids but the parents to help the kids. My sons already ready to go back thanks coach Don.

Coach don was awesome broke down the whole purpose of having a good swing. Great lesson pays attention to the swing in detail. Highly would recommend coach don. My son cant wait to see him again.

Coach Don did a great job with my son. He immediately recognized an issue and gave great advice to correct it.

Coach Don is great my twin boys learned a lot just from going to him once I would and I am recommending coach Don to anyone I know I also told my parents on my boys travel baseball team and already some would like to set up a appointment with coach Don I will be booking more sessions with coach Don thank u

Coach Don was great we will definitely book again, your experience is amazing. Looking forward to many more batting techniques for Eder!

Thank you!

Coach Don was excellent! I could tell within the first few minutes he really knew his stuff and has a great teaching technique. He was patient and thorough and my son really enjoyed the first session. Even though we were going over hitting form and drills a lot the first session when we left my son said "that was really fun!" We will definitely be booking additional sessions and I would highly recommend Coach Don!

Coach Don's first lesson with my son was absolutely phenomenal. I've taken my son to various hitting instructors throughout the years and although I intuitively knew that my sons swing wasn't where it should be, other coaches including myself didn't have the ability to teach my son the "high level swing" or know how to apply it.

Coach Don is the only hitting instructor we ever worked with who is able to successfully teach the proper form and kinetic movements of the " high level swing". We learned more in one lesson from Coach Don than we did in all the years of studying video and working with other hitting instructors. Not only does Coach Don have the knowledge, but he knows how to teach and convey this knowledge to the student. We learned so much in just our first lesson that my son and I were literally blown away! If you want to learn the real " high level swing" that can get you to the next level, go see Coach Don for sure!

I took my 2 boys (9 and 10 years old) to work with Coach Don. Coach Don was very patient and did a great job explaining things in a way the boys would understand. Both boys enjoyed the lesson and asked to come back. We will definitely be booking more sessions.

Coach DON was GREAT coach !! After one session my son feels like a WHOLE new athlete my son felt so comfortable with him an learned a lot. His training and techniques are like none he had before, definitely TOP notch. I would HIGHLY recommend it coach DON to anyone , BEST coach 👍🏻

I took my 6 and 9 year old sons to Coach Don Bachman for the first time on Sunday. He went over hitting mechanics starting with the tee. I felt it was a very good first lesson for them and I plan on booking additional lessons for both my sons. He was very polite and took the time to explain their strengths and weaknesses and showed them how to improve at the plate. Thanks Coach Don!

Coach Don was great my son really likes him and we saw results after fist session.

Coach Don was great he teach the technics to get good hits Also he has a experience how to teach his experience to the kids

My son really enjoyed his lesson. Coach provided him with lots of information that can help him better his hitting and we are looking forward to more classes. I really recommend Coach Don if you are looking to improve your game.

Coach Don did a terrific job with my son and I hope to catch up with him later this fall as the season progresses.

Coach Don fit my son in on a tight schedule. Great techniques, my son learned so much on his first lesson.

Excellent Coach. My son has improved greatly in both his confidence and batting while working with Coach Don

Don is extremly knowledgeable about the proper techniqes of playing baseball. He has taken the time to study the game in great detail and learn the correct position of every part of the body when executing both offensive and defensive plays. He has shown geat patince with my grandson in helping him to improve his batting and fielding skills. He has all of the tools available to not only improve playing skills, but to show his students in detail what they need to correct. I would recommend Don to anyone who is looking for someone to help them improve their game while giving positive reinforcement.

Although my son has consistently been a strong hitter, I have always been intrigued with the rotational hitting style and what it could do to enhance his swing. He has been working with coach Don for the past six weeks and I have to say Don is the most patient and knowledgeable hitting coach we have ever seen. He recognizes that today’s youth coaches have been indoctrinated in the linear hitting philosophy and unfortunately, this approach has ingrained bad hitting habits. Recently, we experienced a “breakthrough” session with Don that translated to the playing field. Last weekend my son played his first 13U AAA tournament where he batted 500 and had a SLG % of 667. Now he has the confidence that he can hit any pitch, including the best pitchers’ fast ball. Before Don, my son would pull out his front side and create a long swing. Coach Don now has him short to the ball with proper hand position, as well as hip and shoulder rotation. Don’s approach is to first analyze the player’s swing and break it down into good and bad points and then design a series of hitting drills. During a hitting session if Don sees that the player is having difficulty with a practical drill he will adapt and custom the drill so that the player can execute the proper movement. Don always stresses the proper hitting mechanics and positions the player needs to be in and he uses video to show what he is trying to accomplish. His ability to demonstrate how the drill will translate into hitting the ball in the future allows the player to stay focused and motivated. I look forward to what the next six months will produce! Great job Coach Don!
