Our Story

Coach Doole believes in a training approach that blends drill work, visualization, baseball technology, and command enhancement, as part of his Own the Zone philosophy. His training program emphasizes the importance of staying “One Pitch at a Time” and “Winning the 0-0 and 1-1 counts.” This has led to maximizing strikeout to walk ratio, run prevention, and overall staff success. In our process, we aim to accentuate pitchers unique attributes, while building their confidence and reducing arm pain, to deliver sustainable success.
