Introduction
I can help you: Strengthen fundamentals; Improve your mental game; Play from the ground up; Produce line drives! I've worked with players of nearly all ages and experience levels, in a team setting as well as one on one. I've had players go on to play pro and college ball, but I also work with rec leaguers looking to fine-tune and rookies just trying out the game. I'm low-tech, but high-impact. I'm attentive to every aspect of the player--mental, physical, intellectual, and social/emotional--as needed. I focus on mechanics and approach, but I also emphasize injury prevention, repeatability, and understanding more than many other coaches; I think it's easier to repeat a motion, and find your comfort zone mechanically, when you have a truer understanding of what you're doing. Skill and talent are indispensable, but between the ears is where many of the game's successes begin. Mechanically, I teach a line drive-oriented approach and focus on balance and playing from the ground up. My coaching motto is that line drives win games! I also believe that enjoying the game, and remembering to have fun and appreciate the game even when you're working hard to improve, are essential. Every day you get to play is a gift.

Coach West is an exceptional coach who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the field. His ability to break down the intricacies of both fielding and hitting makes him an invaluable asset to any player looking to improve. His passion for baseball is evident in his approach, making each session feel more like a shared enthusiasm rather than a job. After several years away from the game, he helped me quickly find my rhythm again within just a few sessions. I wholeheartedly recommend Coach West to players of all ages and skill levels!

I decided as an older adult to really learn baseball. From the beginning, coach West was very careful to start with me at my low level of understanding baseball. He has worked carefully to bring me forward teaching each bit, never overwhelming, from inability to throw well, to catch or hit the ball to where I have held my own on an adult's softball team. I always hear about the kids he teaches, how well they have learned and how proud he is of their progress.

Coach West is absolutely amazing and no words can describe how great he is!!! Coach West has been teaching my three boys for almost 4 years. Not only is he an excellent coach in teaching baseball fundamentals, he is also a great mentor and a listener when his students are in need of any emotional support. Coach West also tries different coaching methods tailored to your child’s ability and always tries to get the best out of your child. I am so happy to have my boys taught by him and highly recommend Coach West to all kids who want to learn baseball!
