Player Testimonials

Jordan Carr

LHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared has been a great pitching coach for me since 2021. He has great knowledge on drills for feels, pitch design, and usages to optimize success at any level.

Jared does the drills himself and spends countless hours throwing different pitch grips to know how to coach players in each aspect.

If he doesn’t know something, Jared will do in-depth research to figure it out. Jared can take your game to the next level!"

AJ Labas

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"I first met Jared when I signed with the Minnesota Twins in 2021. He was the first pitching coach I worked with and he helped me with different drills and mechanical adjustments that would better myself.

The adjustment and drills we did were to help me get into a better hinge and get down the mound better. This past year I started the year in Low A and got to work with Jared again. While working with him we focused on the same things when it comes to getting down the mound faster and getting more into my back hip.

While doing that and different drills during my workdays I saw an increase in my velocity and all my pitches were sharper. A a result I was getting more swing and miss and got called up to High A soon after.

Jared is also very talented with pitch design, understanding data and getting the most out of every player.

I would 100% recommend Jared as a pitching coach and someone to work with if you want to get the most out of yourself. "

Jackson Hicks

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared was my pitching coach for parts of 3 seasons in the Twins organization, and helped me tremendously in my pitching journey.

He brought great energy and passion to the ballpark every day, and was very knowledgeable about pitch metrics/pitch design and in-game pitchability.

I highly recommend him for any pitcher looking to take their game to the next level."

Kody Funderburk

LHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared played an important role in my development early in my pro career.

With his help I was able to make great strides during the COVID lockdown which has helped propel me forward in my career.

Jared has an extensive knowledge when it comes to data/analytics in baseball and can help you utilize those numbers to push you in your career." 

Pierson Ohl

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"I spent my entire first professional season with Jared and it was fantastic. He was monumental for the beginning of my professional career.

The first couple months of my season were horrible until Jared and I sat down to figure out a plan of attack and areas I can improve. He does his homework and takes pride in his work and in his players.

Jared got me on a great track for the remainder of the season in which I was top 10 in multiple categories across minor league baseball.

Taking the same approach to my second full season, I was named a Double-A Texas League All Star. Working with Jared and picking his brain will be something I do for the rest of my time playing the beautiful game of baseball.

He is responsible for an enormous amount of the success I’ve had as a professional baseball player."

Mike Paredes

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared was a tremendous help during his time as my coach in pro ball.

His knowledge of the game as well as his dedication to his players was something I’ve always appreciated.

Jared is easily one of the best coaches I’ve had the privilege of working with during my career.” 

Malik Barrington

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared was my first coach in professional baseball. We worked together on cleaning up my back leg drive and my trunk flexion. I gained 2-3 mph on my fastball going from 89-91 to 92-94 consistently towards the end of the 2022 season.

Jared has been diligent in continuing to work and find the best drills and techniques that fit my pitching style.

We were also able to improve my slider by adding horizontal break.

He has been very hands on and communication has been perfect in the 3 seasons of working with Jared."

Travis Adams

RHP, Minnesota Twins

"Jared's great knowledge of the game, combined with his teaching abilities, made him a good fit to work with me.

He took the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and goals. His attention to detail and commitment to refining my pitching mechanics have been great in my growth as a pitcher.

One of the great qualities of Jared is his dedication to his players. He consistently goes above and beyond to provide support, encouragement, and constructive feedback.

When I worked with Jared I saw improvements in my pitching mechanics, velocity, accuracy, and understanding of the game."

Colton Book

LHP, Stony Brook University

 "Jared has helped me tremendously in my baseball career. I have worked with them since I was 15 years old and have added 9 mph over that time.

This summer my velo went from 87 to 89 and I added a pitch to my arsenal (cutter) that I have never thrown before and within 1 week I was throwing it effectively in games.

Between the throwing, lifting, mechanics, pitch design, nutrition, and more Jared gives you everything you need to be a successful pitcher at any level."

Cael Martin

RHP, High School Pitcher

"I strived to gain multiple things from this program such as strength, knowledge, and skills. Through the months I have exceeded in each of these thanks to Jared. I notice very beneficial changes in all areas but most of all my strength. Very thankful for the chance to work in this program!"
