Prior Teams Coached

Over the past several seasons, I’ve had the opportunity to coach and develop a talented group of 12-16 year-old athletes. Below is a snapshot of the teams I’ve coached, the focus areas we prioritized and a memorable moment from each season. Our teams have steadily become more competitive as my coaching approach has evolved and refined over the years.

Fall ‘24 - Jewel City Realtors

League: 16U Glendale Babe Ruth

Record: 9-2

Coaching Focus: most of our players were 15-16, so we wanted to prepare them for the demands of HS baseball. Emphasis was placed on baseball IQ, having a 2-3 pitch arsenal and developing the discipline needed to compete at the next level

Fall ‘23 - Crippen Mortuary

League: 16U Glendale Babe Ruth

Record: 8-3

Coaching Focus: featured a mix of older and younger players, creating a unique focus on both player development and high school preparation. While younger players worked on building a strong fundamental base, older players refined their skills and adapted to the faster pace of the game to get ready for the next level.

Spring ‘22 - CV Tile

League: 12U Glendale Babe Ruth

Record: 4-8

Coaching Focus: developmental year, with a group of younger players ranging from 10-12 years old, including several with limited playing experience. The focus was on building a strong foundation - teaching fundamental skills, instilling good habits, and fostering a love for the game.

Memorable Moment: Nick made a spectacular play from center field, catching a deep fly ball and firing a perfect throw to home plate to complete the double play.

Fall ‘22 - CV Tile

League: 16U Glendale Babe Ruth

Record: 7-5

Coaching Focus: developing our up-and-coming young talent, focusing on skill refinement and game awareness. With a roster full of promising players, we emphasized advanced fundamentals, situational play and building confidence in high-pressure moments.

Memorable Moment: Cutlor getting 3 hits in one game

Fall ‘21 - GBR Royals

League: 16U Glendale Babe Ruth

Record: 3-9

Coaching Focus: my first year coaching, and unlike future seasons where players were recruited, this team was drafted. The focus was on building team chemistry, teaching fundamental skills and helping players adapt to a more competitive level of play. It was a season of learning and growth, both for the players and myself as a coach.

Memorable Moment: nearly upsetting the best team in the league (lost by 1 run)
