I’ve been playing baseball since I was four and it’s been a big part of my life ever since. I’ve had my fair share of strikeouts and tough games, but I’ve always stuck with it because I love the game and everything it teaches. I started Batters' Up with Conan and Jusim to help younger players build their skills and have fun while doing it. My goal is to create a space where kids feel supported, improve their fundamentals, and grow more confident every time they step on the field. I’m a lefty, an outfielder, and a strong hitter who especially enjoys teaching hitting drills. I’m excited to work with your child and help them enjoy the game as much as I do!

I’ve loved baseball since I started playing at eight years old, but it was during COVID that I truly fell in love with the sport. I am a right-handed hitter who primarily plays middle infield, with experience at third base and all three outfield positions, and I pitched through my junior year. My hitting style emphasizes consistent contact and driving line drives to all parts of the field. I believe the most fun comes from playing well, and that success on the field leads to joy in the game. That belief inspired me to start teaching because I want to help kids build the skills and confidence they need to succeed and, most importantly, to have fun playing baseball! _________________________

Assistant Coach

_________________________

I started playing baseball at the age of 10 after discovering how complex yet incredibly fun the game can be. Each day brings new talent with the potential to grow, and that’s what inspired me to become part of Batters’ Up. My goal is to help every player develop, no matter how easy or challenging their journey may be. I’ve played in hundreds of games filled with excitement, frustration, and valuable lessons, and I plan to use that experience to guide future athletes. I’m a right-handed, strong fielder with a focus on catching and pitching. I’m excited for what’s ahead and look forward to helping you grow in the game of baseball!

Osuke & Ibuki

Assistant Coaches

_________________________

We’ve been playing baseball since fourth grade in Chiba, Japan, right outside Tokyo. After moving to the United States, our love for the game only grew as we’ve always enjoyed staying active and being competitive. Osuke (on the left) is a utility player who can play any position, while Ibuki (on the right) primarily plays catcher. You can just call us by our last name to keep things simple: "Toshi." We joined Batters Up because we’re passionate about helping others grow in the sport we love so much, and our goal is to continue supporting Batters Up’s vision of helping every player feel comfortable and confident on the field. We’re excited to be part of the team!
