ABOUT ME

I am excited to join Sirious Baseball, after playing 13 professional seasons, and returning to the Bay Area where I won two World Series with the Giants. I look forward to passing on the knowledge I have learned from working with some of the best managers and pitching coaches in the world, such as Bruce Bochy, Dave Righetti, Ray Searage, and others. I can use my expertise in pitching, arm care and analytics to effectively teach players of all ages. I look forward to working and mentoring players so they are successful on and off the field.
