Baseball training: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering baseball training
You train players in hitting, throwing, fielding and pitching. Your sessions work best when you find the one mechanic that costs the player most, then build drills around that fix.
What customers ask
- Can you fix my swing in a few sessions?
- How do you manage pitch counts and rest for pitchers?
- Do you train catchers and infielders?
- How many sessions will my player need before the next season?
- Do you work with players who are older or just starting out?
- What equipment does my player need?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the player's age, position and the skill holding them back, then say what you will start with
- Film the swing or throw from the side on the first session and show it back before you change anything
- Teach one mechanic at a time with a tee or front toss drill that shows the change right away
- Put session length, facility, equipment and whether the session is individual or group in the quote
- Set pitch counts and rest days in writing for every pitcher, and follow the league's rules
- End each session with a home drill and one thing to check next time
What to put on your profile
- Photos of your sessions in the cage, on the field or at the bullpen, with player consent
- Your coaching certificate or credential listed by name, if you hold one
- The positions you train, such as hitters, pitchers, catchers or infielders
- The facilities where you train and the equipment you provide
- Your group and individual session options
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A home drill list for tee work, long toss or ground balls
- A position-specific session for a player moving to a new position
- A pre-season block of sessions before tryouts or the first game
- A video review of a game or live session, with two fixes for next time
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to train baseball players. Keep any coaching certificate current, complete a background check if you work with children, and carry liability insurance if the facility requires it. Check with your state or local licensing agency for rules that apply to the facility you use.
Questions
Do I need insurance to train at a public field?
Many public fields and private facilities ask trainers to carry liability insurance before they run sessions. Check the rules first and keep your certificate on file.
How do I handle a player who wants to focus only on power?
Show the player how timing and contact decide hits as much as power. Use a short drill that proves it, and keep a short power block in each session.
