I founded Precision Pitching Academy based upon my love of baseball especially, pitching. I have developed an expert knowledge and passion for pitching throughout my baseball career and it really evolved when I was a pitcher at The University of Georgia from 2010-2013. The biggest thing I learned in what makes a great pitcher is simple, precision over power. Pitching is one of the fundamental parts of baseball. Over time, the art of pitching has evolved but the fundamentals remain constant. Precision and accuracy with your mechanics and pitches will increase your chances of success each pitch, not just velocity alone. We are all built different and at PPA, I believe in understanding each pitcher's unique abilities to be able to uncover their full potential. My personalized approach aims to increase confidence, enhance skills and unleash the full pitching prowess of young players, creating a pathway to success on the field.
"Coach Bryan has completely transformed my son’s pitching! Not only has his velocity and control improved, but his confidence on the mound has grown tremendously. Coach Bryan was able to break down mechanics in a way that made sense for my son and tailored each lesson to address his individual needs. My son’s growth, as evidenced by stats, are a direct reflection of Coach Bryan’s ability to make adjustments to my son’s pitching along the way to make a huge impact. If you are looking for a pitching coach who is knowledgeable, experienced, and truly invested in your child’s success, Coach Bryan is an amazing! Kelly K.
