I've played at Alhambra High School and Pasadena City College plus many earlier years through California Baseball Academy (CBA). I have trained with some of the best players in the state and have been coached by some very well known and respected people in California. Through both players and coaches I have picked up many techniques that truly amaze you with the level of improvement you make in short periods of time. I have no preference in age to work with, all I ask is your ready to take my coaching with a good mindset, be willing to take constructive criticism, and trust the journey ill take you through of getting better

Playing collegiately is no easy task, especially as a Short Stop at Pasadena City College where they are known to breed solid athletes from that position especially. As a freshman I was able to outshine the starting sophomore SS and finished the year with the 3rd highest batting average on the team(.358) behind 2 Junior college All Americans and had the best fielding percentage out of most efforts on the team.

I'd like to start with seeing your general makeup as a player by having you take some ground balls/fly balls and swings which would then lead into the road to perfecting your game. Before jumping right into ground balls I would take you through a series of drills (position specific) that help you. understand the proper technique of playing solid defense. Then for hitting I would constantly focus on bat path and showing you the proper way to maintain bat control and taking the bat through the zone as quickly and violently as possible. And finish the day with some base running IQ.
