PLAYER. STUDENT. COMPETITOR. NOW, COACH.
I LIVED EVERYSTEP AS APLAYER.
From Long Island's top-ranked high school prospect to a Division I All-American, the College World Series, Cape Cod League, and Big 12 baseball, I experienced the preparation, pressure, success, setbacks, and adjustments that shape a hitter.

WHY I COACH
TALENTED.NEVER TAUGHT.
I was a talented player. I was the No. 1 prospect on Long Island and played at the highest level of college baseball. But I never truly learned how to play the game. Nobody taught me hitting mechanics, situational hitting, how to approach a count, or how to judge an at-bat beyond the result.
So when I struggled, I didn't know why. I chased perfection, over-adjusted, and ended up competing against my own thoughts instead of the pitcher. I believe it limited my career.
I coach so young players don't repeat that.
My hitters should know what they're doing, why they're doing it, and how to adjust on their own. They step in with a plan: the count, the situation, the pitch they're hunting. And when they fail, they adjust instead of questioning everything.

THE PRIDE OFLONG ISLAND.
The home run that sent Stony Brook toward Omaha. I bring it up with players for one reason: what happens in a moment like that is decided long before the pitch, in how you prepared and what you were looking for.
WHAT THE GAME TAUGHT ME
THREE LESSONS ICOACH EVERY DAY.
A good swing is only part of hitting
Mechanics matter, but so does the count, the pitcher's plan, what you are willing to swing at, and where the strike zone actually is. A hitter needs both.
Every hitter has to adjust
One bad result does not automatically mean the swing is broken. Learning to read the at-bat and adjust is what keeps a hitter from chasing fixes they do not need.
Confidence comes from preparation
The hitters who stayed confident were the ones with an approach, a routine, and a plan for the moments that got difficult. Confidence followed the preparation.
Those lessons are why I coach the entire hitter, not only the swing.
THE COACHING
I DON'T JUST TEACHTHE SWING. I TEACHTHE HITTER.
The goal is not to give a player instructions forever. It is to help him understand what he sees, recognize what the pitch is asking for, and execute with confidence.
- 01 · Explain
What we're looking for, in plain language.
- 02 · Recognize
Reading the pitch before deciding to swing.
- 03 · Execute
Taking it into a full-speed swing.

THE EXPERIENCE
TALENT IS ONLYTHE BEGINNING.
Being around elite players showed me that talent is only the beginning. The best hitters prepare with purpose, understand the strike zone, make adjustments, and remain competitive when the game becomes difficult.
SHARED THE FIELD WITH
- Aaron Judge
- Kyle Schwarber
- Alex Bregman
- Aaron Nola
- Jeff McNeil
And many more who went on to the major leagues.
THE PLAYER FIRST
THE PLAYERCOMES FIRST.
Every hitter learns differently. Some need a clearer explanation. Some need more confidence. Some need to be challenged. My job is to understand the player in front of me and coach in a way that helps the lesson stick.
Players should leave knowing more than what to fix. They should understand why it matters, what to work on next, and how to respond when the game becomes difficult.
“You have influenced my kids in a super positive way. You're our life coach, man!”
