About Me

Profile

I’m a former professional pitcher with 19 years of experience, including time at the MLB level.

I’ve spent my career competing at the highest level and studying the game from every angle; both as an athlete and now as a coach.

Today, my focus is simple: help athletes develop the right way. That means building strong mechanics, protecting arm health, and developing the mental skills needed to perform under pressure. Because long-term success isn’t just about throwing harder,

it’s about staying healthy, confident and

prepared to compete.

Philosophy

Better movement, healthier arms. and stronger minds.. I believe great pitching starts with the right foundation; strong mechanics, proper arm care, and the mental ability to compete with confidence. It’s not about quick

results. It’s about long-term development.

Because the goal isn’t just to throw harder,

it’s to stay healthy, improve consistently, and perform when it matters most.
