Fastball USA Training Centers

Thank you so much for the opportunity to play on your 15U team this past year. As the new kid for a while I had to make friends quickly before the start of the season which I did. The whole team was great and the atmosphere during warm-ups and in the academy was even better.

You’ve taught me so much on the game of baseball including how to better myself at blocking pitches and taught me a whole new mental approach to the hitting side of the game along with some mechanical adjustments. The tournaments were great too. You showed us to never play down to any competition but play at the level we are capable of. All in all the Team Fastball experience for me was an outstanding one and I hope to continue with the team as long as my talents permit me.

Thank you,

Mike Viverito

From the moment I stepped on the field for our first practice until the last inning of the last game, I realized that this was no ordinary baseball team. It was part of something bigger, a long term approach instead of winning every ballgame. While we didn't win every tournament, I felt that we always ranked high in both potential and attitude.

The out of town tournaments were the best part, since it gave us the feel of what professional players go through every week. With that being said, I would recommend only the most dedicated players on Fastball USA team; because much like the academy, you have to be 100% committed to improving each and every day.


Thanks for a great season,

At first I was a little skeptical about how other people were getting such great results, but then as I kept going in the winter i was able to see that my arm was getting stronger.

I also had noticed I was becoming faster and more athletic I conditioned with Fastball throughout the winter. The arm care that we do is a big part of that. For example, in previous seasons, I would be able to throw only 2-3 innnings before losing velocity.

Now i am able to go 4-5 innings with very little decreased speed. In the tournaments Coach Ryan would not over work the pitchers. If he sees you are struggling he wouldn’t keep you on the mound just to win. He would get you out of the game and immediately have the pitchers start on arm care to get you ready and more prepared for the next outing.

I also really like that if you make an error he won't yell like some other coaches. Coach Ryan challenged us to shake it off and mentally get ready the next play . Overall my experience with team fastball has been a positive one. I have made a lot of progress with my arm strength and my hitting.

Thanks for a great season!

When Rahul joined Fastball, after the initial assessment, we were told Rahul could reach 70 miles per hour by the time he tries out at his high school. By the time Rahul tried out at his high school, he was 80! This wouldn't have been possible without Mike's support, training and encouragement.

Rahul enjoyed every session whether it be a one on one or being part of a team! The games we played in the summer, were full of fun and great experience for all. I also want to highlight that Mike was very supportive and took great care of the kids without ever being partial or show favoritism to anyone. I would strongly recommend to any serious student of baseball to join Fastball to reach their full potential!

Thanks Raju Nallappa

Mike:

Team Fastball USA has been far more than just the typical “travel team” experience. I’ve been most impressed with the way your program focuses primarily on the training, conditioning, mental, and professional aspects to playing baseball at an advanced level. Games are played to reinforce that primary focus. My son’s development has been obvious and measurable…and with the improved results comes greater confidence, performance, and passion. I only wish we had joined this program sooner.

Keep up the great work,

Vince Viverito
