Matthew S.

Nearly 15 years professional coaching experience. Currently the Director of Baseball Operations for Impact Team Sports Ohio ( we oversee 10 youth club travel baseball teams). I have coached all levels of experience, at all positions/ skills on the field, from youth to college to professional level, baseball and softball, ages 6u to 25+. I have also coached numerous youth club travel teams with Impact baseball, providing for a well rounded understanding of designing and applying training material to live game scenarios.

I played and graduated from Brecksville- Broadview Hts. High school (Cleveland, OH area). Senior year of high school was awarded Louisville Slugger All American, 2nd team all state, 1st team all conference, team MVP (Regional Finalist). Set school records for single season strike outs and wins. In college, at the University of Toledo, I was awarded 2nd team all conference following my junior year (MAC) and that year, lead the pitching staff in ERA and strike outs and was then drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 7th round of the 2010 amateur players draft. I played 3 years in the Minor League system of the Atlanta Braves and finished my professional career playing Independent Professional Baseball for the Lake Erie Crushers and Normal City Corn Belters.

Sessions last from 30 to 60 minutes. We will identity areas of focus, goals and a plan, through discussion, on- going feedback and video analysis. Sessions start with a 5-10 minute warm up, drill work and live work almost every session, followed by band work/ arm care/ strength/ agility where applicable and a cool down.
