Congratulations to Mike on his 2009 induction into the Cherry Creek High School Baseball Hall of Fame!
After 4 years in the area, Mike has made a name for himself in Parker and beyond as a hitting instructor. His goal is to make sure every baseball player understands what is true about hitting and pitching. A successful student is one who knows how to correct himself, when coaches are nowhere to be found. Mike works to build a solid foundation of understanding in the minds of players, coaches and parents alike.
