Question
Rick,I would like to find someone in the Phx/Glendale area to help my son learn some different pitches before the spring tryouts at HS. He is 14 yrs old and has pitched for several years in Little league, Rec leagues and one club team. Any suggestions?

Answer
Karyn:  Thank you for your inquiry.

Two suggestions for you to look into.  I have referred parents to both individuals.

I have and currently do work for Jeff Rodin in the Diamondback's Training Centers over the past 10 years.  Jeff Rodin is the director and a truly good person. You can contact him at the e-mail address below, tell him I gave you his name.

The second gentleman is Billy Horton.  We worked together with the Training Centers.  He has since gone out on his own and is the owner of Cactus Camps, located in Phoenix.  He is a truly good person as well.  You can't go wrong in either place.  You can contact Billy at the phone number listed below, or through the website address.  I would recommend that you look over his site.  He has a terrific website, which has a lot to offer.  You may also tell Billy I gave you his name.

Good luck to you and your son this spring.  Baseball is a great family event, full of lifetime memories.

Please let me know if you are successful in locating what you need.

Yours in baseball,
