"His positive attitude really stood out in the lesson, and I appreciated how approachable he was. Though better serves and backhand technique could improve my game, I left feeling more confident. Still, I think with focused practice, especially on those areas, I’ll see even more progress. If you want a laid-back, encouraging lesson, Rich might be worth trying.

Hi! I’m a former D1 pitcher with a passion for helping the next generation of players find their rhythm on the mound. I played my high school ball at O'Dea, where I was named Metro League Pitcher of the Year and set the school record for the lowest ERA in a single season. After a major injury, I had to work my way back to play five successful seasons at the University of Portland. That experience taught me everything I know about mechanics, recovery, and staying positive when the game gets tough. Whether you are just picking up a ball for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills for high school, I’m here to help you build confidence and have fun while doing it. Let’s get out there! I specialize in pitching and infield defense, but can also coach hitting. I love teaching kids of all ages at any skill level!

In 2020, I was scouted by Southampton FC and invited to attend a trial, further shaping my understanding of the technical and tactical demands of the modern game.

I structure training to progress from technical foundations to realistic game scenarios, helping players feel confident and composed when these moments arise in competition.
