Tempe’s Baseball Coaches: Four Picks for Four Kinds of Players
Updated August 2026 · By the TeachMe.To Editorial Team
Two of the five coaches on TeachMe.To’s Tempe baseball roster have documented youth-coaching records - parent reviews on file, naming specific progress their kids made. That’s 40 percent of a five-coach pool explicitly serving a segment that drives a large share of local searches: parents looking for a coach for a young player, not adults looking for instruction themselves. The remaining three coaches skew toward older players working on mechanics, fundamentals, and mental preparation.
The roster also spans four price tiers, from $ to $$$$, with every coach holding a 5.0 average rating. Budget doesn’t signal quality here - it signals session structure, experience framing, and coaching philosophy. For parents navigating that range for the first time, the parents’ guide to baseball coaching and lessons lays out what to expect before you book.
Baseball Lessons in Tempe: What the Coaching Roster Looks Like
TeachMe.To’s Tempe baseball roster carries five coaches whose bios span a wide range of declared experience - from “several years” of focused skills work up to 30 years dedicated to the game. Landis Owens specifically names evidence-based biomechanics as his methodology. Cole Perez and Jack Brownfield both sit at the $ price tier, the most accessible bracket on the platform.
All listed venues in TeachMe.To’s Tempe data are outdoor fields and outdoor venues, spread across central, south, and west sides of the city. Outdoor formats suit Arizona’s playing calendar. Expect your first session to involve some assessment - most coaches will want to see where you or your player currently stands before drilling into a specific skill.

Four Tempe Baseball Coaches, Four Student Profiles
Each pick below represents the strongest fit for a specific kind of student. Every coach on TeachMe.To’s Tempe roster cleared the platform’s quality bar before taking a booking.
One thing the reviews reveal before you get to the table: Cole Perez’s five reviews carry a median length of 386 characters - the highest on the roster. Parents are writing paragraphs about what shifted in their kid’s relationship with the game, not just leaving a star.
| Coach | Best For | Rating | Reviews | Happy Student Score | Price Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landis Owens | Kids / youth development | 5.0 | 9 | n/a | $$$$ |
| Jack Brownfield | Mechanics / swing work | 5.0 | 2 | 99/100 | $ |
| Cole Perez | Most-reviewed / kids and beginners | 5.0 | 5 | 99/100 | $ |
| Whitney Grey | Hidden gem / mental game | 5.0 | 5 | 80/100 | $$$ |
Best Baseball Coach in Tempe for Kids
Landis Owens leads TeachMe.To’s Tempe baseball roster in verified reviews - nine of them - and most come from parents, not players. That pattern earns him the kids pick.
Rachel Jones wrote: “I noticed results within weeks. My daughter’s speed, coordination, and strength all improved. As a mom, I appreciate the structure, professionalism, and positive environment.” Angela Peralta echoed the same combination: “I highly recommend Landis Owens Performance Training to any parent with a young athlete. The attention, coaching, and results speak for themselves. My daughter loves training here - and that great place.”
Two different parents. The same signal: visible improvement paired with an environment kids want to return to. Landis’s bio names 23 years in baseball and identifies evidence-based biomechanics as his methodology - applied to hitting, pitching, and defense with individualized skill development. For a parent who wants more than repetition-based catch-and-throw sessions, that structure is the draw. His price tier is $$$$, the premium end of the Tempe roster.
Best for Stroke / Mechanics Work: Baseball Coach in Tempe
Jack Brownfield is the coach whose students leave talking about what changed mechanically. One put it plainly: “Jack helped me focus more on my mechanics rather than locating, which naturally made the ball a strike.”
That’s a coaching philosophy in one sentence. Fix the motion, and the outcomes follow. Brownfield’s bio names 16-plus years of coaching experience, with an explicit focus on building strong fundamentals inside a supportive learning environment. His happy student score sits at 99 out of 100. His price tier is $.
For a player who’s been pitching by feel and wants someone to break down what’s actually happening arm-side, Brownfield is the fit. The reviews suggest he delivers that without making the process feel clinical.
Most-Booked Baseball Coach in Tempe
Cole Perez carries five verified reviews on TeachMe.To’s Tempe baseball roster - and those reviews run long. The median is 386 characters. His students describe full arcs of player development, not just session highlights.
Parent Jackson described what set Perez apart at the tee-ball level: “Cole has the most patience I’ve ever witnessed. His desire and capability of making sure each player understands or feels comfortable in fundamental aspects of baseball.” That patience matters most when a kid is still figuring out hand-eye coordination and a single discouraging session can end their interest in the sport.
Jackie Thornhill’s review tells a longer story. Her daughter came in uncertain - one year of tee-ball and coach-pitch, not sure she wanted to keep going. Cole’s habit of keeping parents informed about expectations and individual development turned it around. “Over time she looked forward to doing it.” Perez’s happy student score is 99 out of 100, and his price tier is $ - matching Brownfield at the most accessible bracket on the platform.
Hidden Gem: Top-Rated New Baseball Coach in Tempe
Whitney Grey brings 30 years dedicated to baseball - and her early reviewers have already zeroed in on the same coaching quality, independently.
George: “Coach Whit always knows what to say when I get down.” Robbin: “Coach Whit always takes the time to explain the game of baseball on a personal level.”
That’s not mechanics feedback. That’s a coach who reads what a player needs in the moment and treats the mental side of the game as instruction, not filler. Her bio frames the mission around unlocking potential and fostering a lifelong passion for baseball - a longer-arc view than pure skill repetition. Her happy student score is 80 out of 100, and her price tier is $$$. For a player who shuts down when practice feels like a grind, or who’s carrying confidence baggage from a rough season, Grey’s communication style is what her early reviews keep pointing to.
