Question
Hi Rick,
My son is a freshman at college here in Arizona. He was on his High School baseball team, 3 years varsity, as a pitcher. He would like to try out as a walk on for his college. Could you recommend a trainer in the Phoenix, Scottsdale area for lessons. Thanks for your help. Tom.

Answer
Tom:  Thank you for your question.

If you would contact Jeff Rodin at JRodin@dbacks.com, he can put you in touch with Mike Fedders.

Jeff is the Director of Baseball Outreach and Development for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I have worked for him the past 9 years with the Diamondbacks Training Centers.  

If you have any trouble contacting him, please let me know and I will call you with a phone number.

Good luck as you go forward.  Sounds like a great goal for your son.  He will be in good hands.

Yours in baseball,

Rick
