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.
