More About Coach Dylan
I have been giving lessons since I was a high school baseball player. I used to give lessons after my baseball practices. I continued doing this while playing college and professional baseball. I've never had the opportunity to work as a coach or trainer full time due to playing professional until recently. I have worked with age groups 8-14, but I am willing to work with any age that wants my instruction.
I was drafted out of high school in the 25th round by the New York Mets as a pitcher in 2015. I decided to go to Belmont University instead where I would go on to win few awards including First Team All OVC my Sophomore year. Later that year, I was invited to pitch in the prestigious Cape Cod Summer League, which is known to host the best collegiate players from all over the country. I had a good summer season and was projected to be drafted in the top 10 rounds of the next years draft, but I got injured the first game of my junior year in college and had to undergo Tommy John surgery. The Los Angeles Angels decided to still draft me in the 18th round regardless of my injury. I spent the next 5 years in the Angels minor league system reaching as high as their AAA team the Salt Lake Bees.
The athlete can expect me to first teach them the proper way to warm up. It is very important to make sure an athlete break a sweat and gets their body moving properly before doing any strenuous activity. I will then just play catch with the athlete to see how their mechanics look and what kind of throwing motion they have. Based on what I see, I will make an individualized plan to maximize their potential. I work out the same way that I teach. I start by getting in a good dynamic stretch, meaning I'm doing sprints, high knees, and other active movements. I will then go into some sort of band routine to loosen up my arm. Next, I will start playing catch and always make sure I'm throwing at a specific target. I will decide how far I want to throw that day based on how my arm feels and what I have planned for the rest of the week. I like to finish with either some sort of workout or sprint work. This is good for recovery and getting the soreness out of your arm while also conditioning yourself for when you get on the mound.

Client Reviews
Mike (CoachUp client)
He did Good
Hamza (CoachUp client)
Coach Dylan was excellent in every way.
He asked what I wanted to work on, did some research before training to make sure it would be tailored to my needs, and communicated everything in an easy-to-understand manner.
10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to improve on their skills.
Sheryl (CoachUp client)

Tj (CoachUp client)
Great experience our son really enjoyed learning from Mr King.
Walter (CoachUp client)
Coach Dylan is excellent!!! Great with my boys, great job teaching the principles of mechanics in pitching and helping the boys understand what he is teaching. He doesn’t time teaching me these principles so I could re-enforce these principles with them… excellent coach and I recommend to anyone that wants to improve their pitching!!
Tyler (CoachUp client)
My son has only met with Dylan once and they have already built a great rapport. Dylan is very knowledgeable and personable, and we foresee our son improving greatly under his coaching. Highly recommend!
