Mike D.

- Throughout my college and professional baseball career, I have helped lead several camps and clinics that cover all aspects of the game.

- Whether it was working with a large group of elementary school players or a small group of high school players, I made sure that those who were willing to learn and adapt got the attention and advice they needed.

- Although I'm not a high school or college coach, I guarantee that my past and CURRENT experiences as a Minor league baseball player will allow me to easily relate to players of any age.

- My specialty is definitely pitching, but I also have the knowledge and capability of giving lessons in any other position. For 18+ players that don't primarily pitch, I would suggest finding a coach that is more specialized in your position. If, however, you have the smallest desire to become a pitcher, I would love to help.

- No matter the age of my players, I guarantee that they leave the field with knowledge they didn't possess beforehand. Knowledge that can take them to the next level of baseball, whether that be Little League, Travel, High School, College, or Pro.

- As a senior in High School, I served as a Co-Captain for nationally-ranked Don Bosco Prep out of Ramsey, NJ.

- I helped lead that 2008 team to a record-breaking 33-0 season before being drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 2008 MLB Amateur Player Draft in the 17th round. I ended up not signing a professional contract and opted to stick to my commitment of attending Boston College.

- After an up-and-down collegiate career in both the Atlantic Coast Conference and Cape Cod Summer League, I was drafted again in the 2011 MLB Amateur Player Draft, by the Cincinnati Reds.

- Since then, I have been working my way through the Reds' minor league system with the hope of one day reaching the Major Leagues.

- Prior to every session with a player, I will have a fully customized workout plan depending on the player's Age, Skill Level, and Goals.

- For all players, each session will begin with an elaborate but efficient warmup routine followed by throwing.

- For pitchers' primary session with me, this first game of "catch" will be used as a basic mechanical evaluation and also serve as an appropriate time for players and/or parents to discuss the following with me:
- all current and/or past injuries
- overall athletic goals
- mechanical goals
- any and all questions regarding the workout

- Each session will cover all the aspects of the game that I determine can benefit the player most.

- Depending on the player's ability and position, we will cover everything ranging from basic mechanics to specific drills that will challenge the player both mentally and physically.

- Those that are willing to learn and are open to professional baseball advice will leave each session THAT much better than before. Guaranteed.
