More About Coach Mike

I have coached baseball for the past 8 years and there's nothing I'd rather be doing! I have experience with kids ages 10 and up to varsity level. I also have experience assisting with clinics and camps and have attended coaches clinics as well. I believe in teaching and stressing the fundamentals and that the only way to get better is through the repetition of proper technique.

I currently coach at the varsity level as an assistant and Junior Varsity head coach for Hastings. Please feel free to message me with any questions.

I was the starting pitcher for New Ulm in the 1994 High School state tournament championship game. I pitched the following year in the High School state tournament as well and our team took 3rd place. In 1995 I was one of the starting pitchers to help our team win the Legion State Tournament and we went on to play a regional tournament in Kansas. From 1995 to 1998 I pitched for St. Olaf College which is a Division III college. I started against the University of Minnesota and Iowa State, both Division I colleges. I played amateur baseball for New Ulm, Northfield and Hastings. In 2009 I was inducted into the New Ulm Legion Baseball Hall of Fame and still hold the record for best winning percentage for going 9-0 in 1995.
In 2008 I began my career as a baseball coach. I was an assistant for Northfield High School and have also coached a 15 year old traveling team for the past 4 years. I currently coach Legion and middle school baseball in Hastings.

The first 10 to 15 minutes of each session is a warmup period consisting of proper stretching, and throwing progression.
The next 35 to 40 minutes is where I focus on the area or areas that your child wants to work on or improve in. This period will consist of specialized drills tailored to your son's needs, fundamentals and technique, and repetitive practice. I also offer video feedback as one of my services upon request.
The last 5 minutes will be a period where I give my feedback and discuss a plan of what your child can do moving forward to continue to get better each and every day.

Client Reviews

Our son (11 years old) had experience with baseball but we needed someone to look at him and give him pointers. Mike was perfect. He looked at everything from his pitching, hitting, running and was able to pin point areas for improvement. He built rapport with our son right away and made him feel comfortable/at ease. We saw improvement in all areas of his playing. We will be reaching out again next year! Thanks PS-- the only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is that scheduling was a bit tough at times other than that he was perfect!!

Both of my sons (ages 11,12) had fun, worked hard and learned a lot. I booked more sessions and the kids are excited to train with Mike again. I'm glad to see them enjoying baseball and improving thier skill levels. Kim

Mike did a great job with my son. He really listened to what we wanted to work on and was able to help him with a few things he needed help with. My son really liked Mike and wants to go back to him next summer.
