OUR STORY
Major League Mentality is more than just a training company—it’s a family legacy grounded in a lifelong love for baseball. Born and raised right here in the heart of Long Island, we grew up playing on these very fields for the Selden/Centereach, MCYA and MCCSD leagues, and that same passion lives on today as we coach the next generation. We’ve had the privilege of coaching our own three boys from the very start. Our oldest, now 19, began this journey, and through the years, we’ve had the joy of coaching each of our sons, and our youngest, age 9, who we currently coach in the Middle Country Mets Minors league. The game has brought us together as a family and kept us grounded in our community. Coaching isn’t just a job for us—it’s a calling that allows us to share our love for the sport with others, passing down the values and skills that baseball teaches.
who we are
We believe in shaping well-rounded players who excel both on and off the field. Our services cover a range of training programs tailored for players at every level of experience. For those just starting, we offer fundamental training to build a strong foundation in the basics, ensuring that young athletes gain confidence as they learn the ropes. For players with some experience, we provide advanced coaching that hones their existing skills, focusing on refining techniques and developing a competitive edge that makes them a standout asset to any team.
But we don’t stop there. We offer specialized programs targeting specific areas, from fielding techniques to pitching mechanics, with each session rooted in video analysis. This tool helps athletes visualize their movements, break down every aspect of their form, and truly understand how each component of their training affects their game. Additionally, our online training programs allow players to practice anytime, anywhere, so they’re always growing, both mentally and physically. No matter where they start, our goal is to equip every athlete with the tools they need to succeed.
WHAT WE DO

Our coaching philosophy blends decades of hands-on experience with a deep understanding of the game’s mental demands. While we emphasize physical techniques and mechanics, we also focus on fostering resilience, confidence, and respect. Baseball is as much a mental game as it is a physical one, and we strive to develop players who can stay focused and composed under pressure. We believe in positive reinforcement, using encouragement and constructive feedback to build athletes up, helping them believe in themselves and their potential.
Our methods include a balance of drills, exercises, and one-on-one coaching that address every aspect of an athlete’s performance. We tailor our approach to each individual, recognizing that every player has their unique strengths and areas for growth, while also understanding there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning and comprehending information. Video analysis is an integral part of our training, allowing athletes to see their progress firsthand and make targeted improvements. By combining these techniques with our passion and dedication, we help players achieve their best while enjoying the process of learning and growing in the game they love.
HOW WE DO IT
At the heart of our company is a genuine love for baseball and a commitment to helping young athletes reach their full potential. We know firsthand the impact a great coach can have on a player’s journey—someone who believes in them, challenges them, and guides them through every victory and setback. That’s the role we aim to play in each athlete’s life. We’re not just here to teach the game; we’re here to mentor, inspire, and support every player who steps onto the field.
Seeing our athletes grow in skill, confidence, and character is the most rewarding part of what we do. We take pride in knowing that we’re not only helping them become better players but also helping them become better people. Baseball is a sport that teaches resilience, discipline, and teamwork, and we’re honored to be a part of each player’s development. For us, this is more than a business—it’s a way to give back to our community and to a sport that has given us so much joy and purpose.
