Private Baseball Training in Long Beach & Orange County
True 1-on-1 coaching for players ages 8–18 — hitting, fielding, throwing, baseball IQ, and the mental game — from a former semi-pro with 20+ years in the game.
Train with purpose. Play with confidence. Compete with passion.
Meet Coach Myles
Baseball has been part of my life for over 20 years. A Long Beach native, I played college ball in West Los Angeles before my talent took me to Florida, where my playing career was based. Back home now, my passion is helping young athletes build confidence, develop their skills, and learn what it takes to succeed both on and off the field.
I specialize in private, one-on-one instruction for players ages 8–18 — hitting, fielding, throwing mechanics, baseball IQ, and the mental side of the game — in a positive environment where athletes improve their fundamentals and compete with confidence.
Parents across Long Beach and Orange County searching for a private baseball coach can start with a free first lesson — no obligation, just a clear plan to get better.
Train with purpose. Play with confidence. Compete with passion.
What I Coach
Hitting lessons, fielding, throwing mechanics, and baseball IQ for players ages 8–18 across Long Beach & Orange County.
Hitting
Swing mechanics, timing, and approach that carry into real at-bats.
Fielding
Footwork, glovework, and reads that lock down the defense.
Throwing Mechanics
Arm care, accuracy, and velocity through clean mechanics.
Baseball IQ
Situational awareness and decision-making that win games.
Player Development
Confidence, accountability, and a growth mindset on and off the field.
How Coach Myles Builds a Pitcher
For Coach Myles, pitching starts in the mind. He coaches the mental side first — the sports psychology of competing on the mound — then builds clean mechanics and technique on that foundation. And every pitcher is different: styles, techniques, and coaching are tailored to the athlete.
The Arsenal
Different pitchers master different pitches and styles — every arsenal is built to the athlete. Here are the pitches Myles develops, and the kind of cues he coaches with.
Fastball
“Establish it first”
The foundation every other pitch plays off — command it first, built from the legs and forward.
Two-Seam
“Don't aim it — rip it”
A movement fastball with late, heavy run.
Changeup
“Same arm action”
Mirrors the fastball's arm action so the hitter can't read it — kills timing.
Cutter
“Your swing-and-miss pitch”
Looks like a fastball, breaks late — a true strikeout pitch.
Knuckle Curve
“More tumble”
A breaking ball with depth, dropped into the zone for a called strike.
The Method
Mental game first
The foundation is sports psychology — composure, confidence, and focus on the mound. Every pitch is built on it.
Mechanics on a sound foundation
With the mental base set, Myles builds clean, repeatable mechanics and technique on top of it.
Built to the pitcher
Different pitchers master different styles. Every arsenal, technique, and cue is tailored to the individual athlete.
Film, reps & accountability
Game-film review, game-rep bullpens, and constant feedback — tough when it needs to be, encouraging every good rep.
In His Own Words
Real cues from real sessions on the mound.
“Your job is to execute.”
“You don't need to do anything outside of what you've already been doing.”
“Everything's built from your legs — and forward.”
“That's your swing-and-miss pitch.”
“Don't aim it. Come over the top and rip it.”
“Establish it. Then we work away.”
