⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I wanted to share my experience with “Coach Jack” of Pinkerton Baseball in Irvine. I have a 16 y/o son who wanted to start up with baseball again after a 2yr lay off to pursue acting & commercial work. He really missed playing on a team & competing… so we started working with Coach Jack. He is one of the best coaches my son has ever worked with. Coach Jack is very knowledgeable and laid back individual. He really gets to know his students and enjoys passing on his baseball experience on to these young players. You can truly tell how passionate he is about the game as well as increasing his student’s skill level. If you have a son who wants to elevate their baseball skill set I would highly recommend Coach Jack for batting, fielding and your kid’s mental approach to the game.”

Real Results From Private Baseball Lessons in Irvine

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We've been so happy with our sessions with Coach Jack. My son has improved tremendously with his skills, but most importantly his self esteem. Coach Jack tailored a program to meet my sons' needs, which helped him improve and increase his enthusiasm for the sport. Thankful for Coach's knowledge and ability to connect with my son.”

-Aja C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“My daughter, who plays another varsity sport, expressed an interest in playing softball as well. I contacted a former D-1 softball coach, and she told me she had heard very good things about Jack. In the time he's been working with my daughter, I have observed that he is both a great coach and teacher. He is very creative in how he teaches and easily identifies with athletes at this level. Just as important, he focuses on improving performance, be it on the field, in the classroom and/at home, and being ready mentally to compete at the highest level. He provides both encouragement and accountability, in a very positive way. Your athlete will hear often that he "sees them working" and "sees them trying to put into practice" what he just taught. They will be told repeatedly "you are an athlete; trust your body." My daughter walks out of every session believing she can take on the world. He has helped her not only with softball, but also with her other sport. I could not more highly recommend him.”

  • -Yulian D.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We are very lucky to have found Coach Jack to teach our son basic baseball fundamentals and mechanics. Coach Jack doesn't dive right into the lesson. He instead observes and takes time to understand his students first and then molds his lessons appropriately. He instinctively knows the ins and outs of baseball and we've seen significant progress to our sons baseball abilities. The training/lesson is located in a relatively small unit but we actually prefer it because it creates a very personal one on one experience. Coach Jack will work with you on scheduling for the lessons. We honestly don't know if Coach Jack's rates are competitive compared other baseball coaches but for the lesson your child receives in the amount of time, we think it's great value!”

  • -David V.

My son always looks forward to his lessons with Jack and his confidence and skills have definitely improved since his first Little League season.”
