Testimonials

Greg Redmond coached for me and my program for a couple years. I really like Greg and the kids really responded to him well. He is very knowledgeable about baseball and with that has the ability to communicate that to the players so they can understand as well. He is level headed and even keel. He is always on time and ready to coach and wants to help. He was really easy to get along with and a fun guy to be around and just to talk with. You can tell when you speak to him his passion for baseball. He was a solid teacher who seemed to have a good grasp on all the positions and does a nice job talking about the offensive side of the game as well. I wish he wasn't coaching overseas so he could still coach for my program! In my program he coached a number of kids who are now going off to college and will be either Freshmen or Sophomores next year. He has coached a pretty high level of player.
