He has played 9 years and counting of professional baseball including time in the Major Leagues.

This partnership is excellent news for current and new additions to PPA. This will allow us to expand the amount of pitchers we can train in house on a weekly basis. All 1 on 1 lessons led by myself or Heath will continue to be held in Nottingham Little Leagues indoor batting cages in Hamilton Square.
