More About Coach Mike
I have worked with pitchers of all ages. From young pitchers just starting out and learning the fundamentals of the game, to collegiate pitchers who are wanting to dive deeper into the intricacies of the game: from mechanics to arm care to the mental approach when facing different hitters or are up against specific in-game situations. This hour session is not a bullpen session but is intended to focus on the mechanics.

Each pitcher is at a different stage in their baseball career. No pitcher is the same, my goal is not to change a pitcher but to help him understand how to enhance his strengths and improve upon his weaknesses, and a big part is figuring out what those strengths and weaknesses are. In my opinion, "Feel" and "Confidence" are the most important aspects when it comes to pitching. Being able to feel the difference from one pitch to the next is what I want each pitcher to excel at. The ability to repeat deliveries leads to greater confidence and in turn greater success.
During the hour session we will:
- Review the previous session's learnings
- Discuss what's been working, what hasn't been working
- Warm up (arm care routine)
- Drills isolating specific mechanics for all pitches. Focus on: separation, weight transfer/distribution, what our finish should look like, etc.
- If time permits, work off the mound in windup and stretch positions

Jacy (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike was an excellent resource for my son. He went out of his way to schedule a meeting that worked for us which I greatly appreciated. My kid was super nervous for the session, not knowing what to expect but Coach Mike put him at ease real quick and he was engaging with him comfortably in no time. He also done very well lifting him up while critiquing his mechanics. He made sure to let him know the things that looked good while telling him what he needed to work on. He was encouraging and I was so glad we picked him for our online session.
Thank you Coach Mike.
Rebecca (CoachUp client)
When our first session was over my 10 year old could not stop saying how much fun he had and that he couldn’t wait to do it again. Not only did Mike keep it fun, but my son learned so much.

I’ve taken my grandson to coaches before some we’re good and let’s just say not so good.I think coach Mike teaches on a level that my son can understand after two sessions there has been a dramatic change to the way he approaches the game. He is extremely patient and takes his time. Thanks Mike it’s wonderful to see in a young man when something clicks and he understands. If you’re looking for a pitching coach with the wealth of knowledge that he has and has fun doing it Coach Mike to me is the best, thanks coach!
Eiji (CoachUp client)
Coach Mike is great coach and we took the lesson for my son (12 years old). Coach Mike gave my son for the pitching mechanics and break down to different sections and explained what each section does and how to fix when my son loose the mechanics for each section. And coach Mike has good personality and could talk to my son at the same level of word which my son could understand. One more thing that my son was saying when my son did catch ball with coach Mike, it was hurt and I said it's because this is the real catch ball and the ball coach Mike through is with good spin. So I said this is the professional quality of the ball. We really appreciated this coach Mike's lesson and will definitely come back again. Thanks!
Kyung (CoachUp client)
Mike is very passionate and professional coach. My skill is greatly improved with his coaching. I will keep working with him, and am really excited to learn more about pitching from Mike!
Ryan (Testimonial)
My 9 year old son had a great time with Coach Mike's introductory lesson. Mike was very patient talking through the mechanics of pitching and showing him drills to isolate different areas of the body throughout the pitching process. Will definitely continue lessons!
Jared (CoachUp Client) (Testimonial)
What I appreciated most about Coach Mike was his ability to break down complex pitching techniques into simple steps that were easy to understand and apply. He also provided me with specific drills and exercises that helped me improve my strength, accuracy, and overall pitching skills.
Kyle (CoachUp Client) (Testimonial)
That was great! I really appreciate how comfortable you were with my son and your approach. Thanks again!
