More About Coach Mark
As a former Division II collegiate pitcher for the Holy Names University Hawks in the competitive PacWest Conference. I’ve had the privilege of coaching athletes from freshman to senior level, including serving as Head Coach at El Camino High School in California and working as a pitching coach in a talent-rich Palo Alto summer league that helped several players advance to college ball. I’ve also coached at the University of San Francisco’s summer camps for the USF Dons, helping younger players develop a love for the game and a strong foundation.
Mechanically, I approach pitching through a lens of simplicity and physics—one motion flows into the next. I work with athletes on refining mechanics, increasing endurance, and improving control. Through structured training plans, including weighted ball programs and advanced grip work, I help pitchers increase velocity and stay unpredictable on the mound.
Most valuable pitcher in the Joe Dimaggio World Series in a fourth of July tournament in Yountville, California. Appointed captain of my college baseball team. I earned a scholarship after competing at one of California’s top junior colleges and was honored as a team captain and PacWest All-Academic athlete. A left-handed pitcher by trade, I believe the foundation of success on the mound begins with the mind. My coaching philosophy is centered around discipline, consistency, and a growth mindset.
A client can expect me to have a great knowledge for the game. Baseball is a mental game as well as physical, I will be able to teach the player how to physically and mentally prepare to become the best player possible as well as teach life lessons. The first training session would be basic so I can evaluate the client and see where the player needs the most work, I will formulate a plan from there.

Client Reviews
Ahmed (CoachUp client)
Mark worked with my 15 year old son (Max) who has been a pitcher for his town and high school teams, but needed some fine tuning on his mechanics. Within 2 sessions with Mark, Max was able to make adjustments to his pitching technique that allowed him to have stronger command on his slider, throwing it accurately & consistently. What I found most impressive about Mark were his in-depth post session notes and videos, detailing everything that was discussed during those sessions. We are planning on signing up Mark for a multi-session package to work with Max on a long-term basis, as we head into the upcoming JV/Varsity baseball season.
Ryan (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark has been great working with my son through their first three sessions. My son is 10 and was down on himself after last season because he just couldn't get in a groove with hitting, and his fielding and throwing distance also needed work. It was a mechanics, repetitions, and confidence issue. And Coach Mark has done an awesome job working on all three.
Coach Mark is really patient and teaches the game fundamentals as well as confidence through the mental challenges of the game. After all three sessions, my son has said, "boy, he's nice." And we've seen steady improvement in each session.
Alex (CoachUp client)
Mark has been nothing short of excellent in every way in working with my son. He customizes the coaching sessions to keep my son engaged and sets up the training in a way that breaks down the mechanics so my son can focus on specific components of hitting, catching, fielding and throwing. I've seen improvements in every aspect of his abilities and my son needed help in just about every area. Mark is patient and encouraging and I especially appreciate that he works on building confidence, dealing with mistakes or failures, and believing in yourself. He could probably be a life coach too! Mark is also very responsive and has been flexible with session times. I could not be happier with him as a coach.
Jennifer (CoachUp client)
My son has really enjoyed his sessions with Mark and is excited about the changes and improvements he’s making. Mark communicates well with him and makes the sessions fun. My son looks forward to going and practicing!!
Ying (CoachUp client)
My son and I worked with Coach Mark for two sessions and saw instant improvement. Coach Mark fixed my son's swing, making it easier for him to hit inside pitches and drive the ball to all fields. We also worked on his overall throwing motion. The result was immediate improvement in both hitting and throwing. By the time my son's first tryout on the big diamond (13U) came around, he was able to hit any pitch comfortably and throw with power. Thank you, Coach Mark!
Mk (CoachUp client)
Can't say enough about Mark after just one session. Mark is great communicator. It was so easy to get in touch with Mark, share details about what my son was looking to work on, and schedule the first session. Meeting up, Mark immediately put my son at ease with friendly conversation---my first impression is that he is really expert at building rapport with kids. Mark focused their time on fundamentals and then worked on pitching. My son felt like Mark's direction was easy to understand and easy to build on. I am not kidding when I say I saw immediate improvement in my son's pitching at the end of just one session. Will definitely continue working with Mark in the offseason.
Serena (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark is working with my son on his hitting and doing a great job talking to him and giving him tips during their work out. We are happy with our sessions with him.
Jackie (CoachUp client)
We have had a great experience with coach Mark. He has been helping our son with pitching and hitting and we are already seeing great results. We just had a club game today and my sons hitting was great! The best part is that my son really enjoys his sessions with Mark.
Brad (CoachUp client)
My 8 year old son really enjoyed his work with Coach Mark. He was a little nervous before the practice but now can't wait to work with Mark again.
Chris (CoachUp client)
My son is 10 years old and he just had his first session with Coach Mark..... it was awesome. He came away from the session happy, motivated and feeling more confident. We're both looking forward to the next one!
Cindy (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark was great with my kids. They are very different kids with different skill levels, he found a way to work with them both and teach them a lot. He was very patient and obviously knows a ton about baseball! The boys are feeling more confident about pitching and excited to have their next lesson. Thank you!
Matt Smith- Holy Names University 2nd Baseman (Testimonial)
Mark has an incredible amount of knowledge and love for the game of baseball. Playing along side him for the Holy Names University Hawks he was able to teach me a lot when I came in as a Freshman, him being one of the older guys, I turned to him as a leader and he helped me learn a lot during my freshman year of college baseball
Adam Koontz- Holy Names University Pitching Coach (Testimonial)
Guys seem to gravitate and soak up a lot of knowledge from Mark. While coaching him at Holy Names University, he was a great help when I couldn't make it out to practice, he would have the pitchers working hard without me on the diamond. He has a variety of drills that would help players of all ages looking to have success playing baseball. He is patient and understanding of the process that it takes to form success.
