"I am not sure where to start but here we go. Edgar Olmos is by the far the absolute top pitching coach in the state. Edgar not only teaches the fundamentals of pitching, but he teaches the physical aspect of what it takes to be successful on the mound. He took my son (Keyton) under his wing and began molding him into what he is today. Taught him the game and how to approach situations mentally and with a healthy plan to have him grow lesson by lesson. Keyton loves Edgar and I highly recommend if you want to be successful on the mound with a healthy approach.

I’ve been working with kids k-12 for 12 years now. I played baseball at The College of Saint Rose where I played outfield and second base. I specialize in fielding and fundamental mechanics both on the field and at the plate. Students should expect to gain an understanding of baseball within the first few lessons with me.
Gabriel
Current 27 year old Left Handed Pitcher, formerly with the Philadelphia Phillies, and now playing internationally in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. My journey has been quite unique in that I did not believe I would ever play past high school, topping out at 78 MPH on the mound my senior year. I ended up walking on to Lafayette College, a Division 1 program, and then signing with the Phillies just 3 years later. This journey is not easy, and I have seen a lot, and am ready to help you.

Jose Franco is a baseball coach who blends old-school fundamentals with modern-day mindfulness. With decades of coaching experience and a deep appreciation for the mental and mechanical aspects of the game, Jose focuses on developing athletes both on and off the field. His coaching philosophy centers around core baseball fundamentals—sound mechanics, situational awareness, and relentless attention to detail—while challenging players to grow mentally and emotionally through intentional self-reflection. What sets Jose apart is his belief that baseball is more than just a sport—it’s a platform for personal growth. Drawing from his book, The Power of Now in Baseball, Jose helps athletes confront weaknesses, embrace discomfort, and cultivate present-moment focus. His process includes visualization drills, mindfulness practices, mechanical breakdowns, and a unique communication system that fosters trust, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement. Whether you're a hitter working on pitch recognition or a pitcher learning to reset after a bad inning, Jose uses a 9-set development process designed to elevate your physical game while sharpening your mental edge. His book, The Power of Now in Baseball, is available for free at stoopjuice.com—regardless of whether you purchase a lesson. It serves as the foundation of his coaching approach, emphasizing growth over outcomes, process over perfection, and awareness over anxiety.
"I coached Jose when he played for Youth Service in the 80s - I was his 16u coach the same year he played for Mel Zitter’s 18u team. In 2008 Jose was my pitching coach at Morris High School where we won the PSAL City Championship. As someone with over 50 years of baseball experience I am humble in recognizing I too continue to be a student of baseball. As a teacher nothing makes me more proud than when one of my former students becomes my teacher. Jose is one of these students who’s ability to communicate in a constructive manner I’ve incorporated into my own coaching style.
Jose
Throughout my coaching experience, I have focused on delivering personalized instruction that meets each athlete’s unique goals and skill level. I design structured yet adaptable lesson plans that strengthen fundamentals, refine advanced techniques, and build game intelligence. Beyond physical development, I emphasize confidence, discipline, and a strong understanding of the game that makes for qualities that help players succeed both on and off the field. I saw 7 of the kids I coached play DI baseball and one get drafted - 13th round of the 2025 MLB draft.
