Baseball Instruction/pitching coach

Question
I'm a 19yr old LH pitcher looking for a qualified coach to evaluate me and give me their honest opinion of where I currently
stand.  I am currently at a JC on a baseball scholarship, but I have been told I will be red shirt.  I want to know if I am wasting my time?  Willing to travel to Phoenix for the evaluation.

Tucson, AZ

Answer
Derek:  Thank you for your inquiry.

I would recommend Kelley Johnson.  He is here in Tucson.  We work together with the Arizona Diamondbacks Training Centers, as well as coach against each other here in town, he is at Cienega, I am at Sahuaro.

I asked him, and he said he would like to speak with you.  His e-mail is kjstl41@cox.net

I have a website at www.theoleballgame.com, where his bio and information is listed.  That info is on the Individual Instruction page, the link to it is at the top of the right hand column of the homepage.

If you have additional questions or have trouble contacting Kelley, please contact me through my site, it will be easier.  

Thank you again!  Good luck!

Yours in baseball,

Rick
