More About Coach Mike

My name is Mike . I have been involved with every aspect of coaching and training for the last 10 years. I have been teaching baseball to youth and college players, along with team skill training.

My experience has come from many different coaches from high school to professional. I played catcher for the Oklahoma Sooners, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs and was fortunate to pick up and retain great techniques from infield outfield pitching catching and hitting.

I can help you improve your fitness, nutrition and skills. If you are looking to take your performance and skills to next level you need to train with me. I have in a very short period had players continue their education and sport with college scholarships.

I have been very fortunate having a very strong arm and the ability to retain and apply information given to me. From little league all-stars to being drafted by San Francisco Giants.
Accomplishments:
High School: League champs, all league, MVP of league, CIF team
College: State Champions Junior College, full scholarship Oklahoma Univ,all big eight, NCAA tournament participant, drafted by San Francisco Giants
Pro Baseball: starting catcher every year, mid west league all star team.

Last 10 years I have trained individuals and teams every aspect of baseball.
Presently run a elite showcase team of high school players, profile and help players get into college.
Teach catching hitting pitching, teams, cross training,seminars, guest instructor for youth and high school players.

How a typical workout plan works is determined by age and ability: my philosophy is every player is different and have to put their own name on their swing. From tee work, to slow toss, to live pitching, indoor and outdoor, video critiques, mental side (clock speed), all ex pro players sharing invaluable tips!

Coach Mike was awesome!!!! My son loved his session with him and learned so much! We will definitely be coming back!

Mike was great! Exactly what my son needed. You need a someone who has played the position and game at high level to provide the tools and path to success.
My son is 16 and wants to play in college. If feel this is right coach.

coach mike was awesome! we didn't waste any time and got right into the lesson .would definitely go back to him again

It’s been such a great experience working with Mike. He really knows how to work with kids and helped improve my son’s swing. The most important thing is that Mike has such a positive attitude and really builds confidence. My son genuinely enjoys his lessons and looks forward to going to the next one.

Coach Mike is top notch trainer that can improve the skills of a player within a short time. I enrolled my 9 yr daughter for catcher training with Coach Mike, and I saw an improvement in her posture, her footwork, and her throwing within the first half of her lesson. My daughter at first felt intimidated by the skill level she observed from the other players, but once meeting Coach Mike she felt welcomed and confident to start her training. With Coach Mike’s knowledge and experience, he was able to make adjustments and get immediate results. By the end of the hour long session, my daughter was catching, throwing, and moving better; as well as, feeling more confident in her game and in herself. I highly recommend Coach Mike and his staff to anyone who is looking for a good training facility and private lessons. Thank you Coach Mike and all The Cage staff.

Coach Mike is plain and simple...amazing! Just had my first lesson and I am blown away! What I learned in 45 minutes was more than a lifetime of other hitting advice from other coaches. I’m still shocked that I could see results after one session!

Coach Mike was very good with my son and even better with me!

He explained things will and gave reason to his explanation. He gave my son tips on what to do in between lessons as well as how to care for his arm after practice with icing and how much to use while learning how to pitch.

Mike was very personable and nice never talking at is or down to us, her was a real coach!!

Mike was fantastic with our son. We were able to see results immediately in a matter of minutes. My 10 year old son was very pleased with Mike and his approach to teaching him the fundamentals.

Coach Mike was very professional in his approach and technique. He explains the hitting aspects of baseball with a results driven approach. My 10 year old son is driving the ball further, with more power, and improved his footwork and stance which was corrected by coach Mike.

Great to work with!! 5 stars!!!

Coach Mike has done a GREAT job on helping Blake, by getting his confidence back. Mike has shown Blake how hitting the ball hard. For pitching, he is throwing the ball much harder.

A couple of sessions and my son (Sam age 7) is accelerating his play and abilities. Mike has worked on all aspects of his game and makes sure Sam understands what he is being taught. It is not easy to keep the attention of a 7 year old but Mike does an excellent job ensuring he learns and has fun.

Transitioning into pinto with player pitching is a huge change for the kids. I know with Mike’s coaching Sam will be ready for spring ball. With changes in the age brackets Sam will only be in Pinot one year. It is critical for him to develop strong basics so he can continue to have fun and excel in his play.

Sam give Mike two thumbs up. As a father it is great to see the progression. Thank you Mike.

We have been working with coach Mike for a couple months ( bi-weekly). Based on Sam’s progression I have had multiple team coaches and parents ask who he has been working with. When others notice the progress, you know the sessions are working. Thanks again coach Mike.

Coach Mike is awesome!!! Didn't waste any time. My son learned so much and our lesson was only 30 minutes. I already booked 4 more lessons!!! My son can't wait until the next practice. Thank you coach.

Coach Mike was GREAT!

Coach Mike was wondeful coach to my son. I know my son gained more knowledge on the game and improved his talent. I recommend Coach Mike to anyone

I purchased sessions with Mike for my sons best and he absolutely loved it! After the first session his mom said they already saw major improvemnets and are booking more sessions with him in the future!

Coach mike is very impressive. As a seasoned all player myself I was blown away with the immediate results and rapport that he had with my son. He just turned 9, and being is barely being transitioned into a catcher. Mike provided great training on fundamentals, and great interaction providing my son to smile and have fun during training which he usually has a frown with me. He is a great coach for those looking to learn the basics of catching, and further advanced techniques.

We have only had one lesson, but my son really felt that Coach Mike gave him some valuable tools he could start to work with. He said he liked coach Mike and can't wait to schedule another lesson.

I've been around the game for many years. I've coached and scouted for many organizations both locally and at the national level. Coach Mike is one of the great ones. He is an excellent instructor who will get you fundamentally correct. He has the patience to work through bad habits and yet is demanding enough to make sure you walk away with the techniques needed. (He also gives homework!) 30 minutes with Coach Mike will net you as many reps as an hour workout. He wastes no time.....it's all business. Coach Mike is very friendly and will work well with all age groups. I know many hitting coaches, even some at the pro level, and I can honestly say Coach Mike is right there with the best of them. I am very picky when it comes to people coaching my son. Being in the business, you know who really know the game and who doesn't. My son will be going to Coach Mike for as long as he's available. Both my son and I are extremely pleased with his services.

Great coach. My son can't wait to schedule more lessons.

Coach Mike was great! He picked up on my son's skill level right away and began working on things that will help him. He worked on foot work and catching fundamentals but kept it fun and engaging for my 9 year old son. Great experience and will return for more. Highly recommended. Thank you coach Mike.

Coach Mike has been extremely helpful with my 9 and 12 year old boys. After three sessions he has simplified their swings and has them getting to the ball faster. Both boys are hitting harder and making better contact. He teaches them how to self correct and does not allow them to continue with bad habits.

My 11 year old son moved up a division this year and started to struggle a bit at the plate. I struggled as well as I wasn't able to figure out his issues even though we did T work and soft toss constantly. I could tell he was getting discouraged so I bit the bullet and sought outside help. One lesson with coach Mike and he was a hitting machine. More power, quicker bat and he was back to crushing the ball instead of weak grounders to the infield. Best part was seeing him excited about baseball again. He told me he couldn't wait till his next session. Thanks Mike

We enjoyed working with coach Mike. He did a great job with my son. He handles kids well. We would recommend him to anyone. We will be booking again in the future.

Coach Mike E exceeded my expectations. After 1 session he had my 9 yr old son in the correct catcher's stance, holding the glove correctly, catching every ball squeezing the ball tight, hopping up and throwing the ball back to pitcher like I've never seen before! It truly was the best money I've spent on lessons. I am already booking the next session so he can continue to learn and grow as a ballplayer.

Great first workout with coach mike.
Coach mike is very patient with the kids, takes his times and makes sure they understand what he is teaching.
Will definitely continue to work with coach Empting.

Coach mike is definitely helping my two boys improve on their hitting skill/techniques.
Coach mike is a pleasure to work with and my kids enjoy him very much. 👍🏽👍🏽

Coach Mike was very good at teaching what we asked for the session. He is very knowledgeable in catching and batting. My son took one hour session and he was tire at the end. He definitely learned things he could apply to his game as a catcher.
Thank you.

Mike, is extremely knowledgeable on the game and has a very friendly approach to my son. He is flexible on scheduling practices and always ensures the student understands the lesson before he moves on to the next drill.

Gives great tips and pointers that are simple and improve your game ten-fold

My 8 year old son is really enjoying the instruction and guidance. Mike is great with him and is learning a lot and quickly. We will be continuing with him for a long time and highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Coach!

Coach Mike really knows baseball and is a great teacher of the game. My son plays catcher, and Coach Mike gave him some tips on playing the position, which immediately made him much better. Coach Mike immediately improved my son's batting also. I strongly recommend Coach Mike as a coach.

Coach Mike has already in a short period of time impacted Marcus's swing in a positive way. He has added pop to his swing with easy tools that we can also do at home.

Mike did great, connected with my son well, coaches clearly and concisely. I recommend him.

Coach Mike made a difference with our son's hitting and catching ability in one session. Can not wait to see the improvement our son will make after all his sessions. Thank you coach Mike!

Hi Mike, Just wanted to say thanks for your help and encouragement for Samuel's baseball "career". You were a big source of support for me, and made a great impact on Samuel's love of the game. He just made his last HS start - complete game shutout with 8k, 0bb. He will be attending OCC next year (mainly a financial decision) but had interest from CSUF, CSULB, CSUN, Cal Baptist, Azusa Pacific, and Grand Canyon University. His goal is to transfer to Grand Canyon after two years at OCC. Thanks again! And best wishes on the success of Bolt!
