About Drake

I played College baseball at Colby CC in KS, then transfered to Wayne State College NE. I was a catcher at both these schools and am now looking to give back the knowledge that I have received over years of game experience.

I recently had an opportunity to coach at Colby CC in KS, however it would have required me to be away from my wife 8 months out of the year. I decided that this was not something I wanted to do at this point in my life, and am now back home looking to start working with more athletes.

I am a very family first oriented person and love to work with athletes of any age.

Previously I was working with Dave Tucker and Lightning Baseball. I am still very close with them, and help them out when I have availability.

Once I was done playing I knew I wanted to stay within the baseball community. Once I got home I put in a call to Dave Tucker, and I have been fortunate enough to be doing this ever since.



I played in College as a Catcher, and have coached catchers at the elite highschool level for the last four years. I have also had different opportunities to coach catchers at the collegiate level; however due to different circumstances it couldn't pan out.

To start we will go through a workout that will show me the skills the athlete currently has. They will still recieve coaching the first session, it is just important that we establish a baseline. We will then look and see which skills we want to work on first, and get a jump on those, and advance through the skills at the pace the athlete is comfortable with.



I have worked with catchers anywhere from 10-20. From beginners to advanced. No skills level is unwelcome. Catching is an evolving position and something new can always be learned.



Catcher is an extremely unique and difficult position to master. Things can always be done different or better. It is extremely important that the athletes are willing to adapt, and have a high level of paitence to play this position. Often times the things we are expected to do can be very frustrating and it is EXTREMELY important to be able to keep our cool. Everyone on the field is always looking at us, and relies on us to be the cool and collected leader of the defense.



When I was took the coaching position at Colby CC, I was dissapointed to have to leave the catchers that I had been working so hard with over the past years. They decided that they wanted to dp remote training and send me videos and dissuss them over the Groupme app. For the time I was in Colby we communicated and continued to work, and was welcomed back by them happily when I decided to come back home.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
You should defenitly decide a plan of attack before talking to someone. If you know there is a specific part of your game that is struggling, make it known that some extra work may be needed in that area. For example many young catchers struggle with blocking and trusting their gear. If that is the case and you would like some emphasis on blocking then make it known. I am very flexible when it comes to a teaching plan, and often times enjoy the athletes input on what they want to learn. I can be as fluid as they are willing to communicate.
