For more than 18 years, Gamespeed has been the training center of choice for the Bay Area’s best baseball players. During that time, I have trained no less than 34 Major League Baseball professionals, as well as countless top high school prospects. Gamespeed-trained baseball players have gone on to compete at some of the nation’s best collegiate programs: UCLA, CSU Fullerton, CSU Long Beach, USC, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, San Diego State, Chabot, Ohlone, and Diablo Valley to name a few. Add to that some of the area’s top travel programs like EJ Sports, Nor Cal, Blankenship, the Gamers and others you see Gamespeed has a deep involvement in Bay area baseball. If you’re reading about a local top prospect in the newspaper, chances are he’s a Gamespeed athlete. I work with young baseball athletes trying to raise their game from the little league level to collegiate hopeful to aspiring professional.
At Gamespeed, baseball players raise their game by focusing on:
