Jake S.

I was a graduate assistant at VCU in the 2017-2018 season and I am currently an assistant coach at George Washington University. I have coached in youth camps since I was in high school. I typically work with kids from 6 to 14. I am unable to work with high school athletes due to NCAA rules. I am CPR certified.

I was the starting catcher for 3 years while playing at Davidson College. In the 2017 season, we advanced to the Super Regionals and I was nominated as a Rawlings Gold Glove finalist (top 3 defensive catchers in the country). I was also drafted in the 39th round by the Dodgers out of high school, opting to go to play in college instead.

Warm up, then we will go through a throwing program depending on the player’s position, if he/she has a specific one yet. We will go through hitting drills done in college and youth levels, based on skill level. We will go through defensive work at specific positions, including pitching, based on the player’s interest. A lot of drills we do will be dependent on what the athlete wants to work on (pitching, infield, outfield, catching, hitting).
