Academy Pitching Instructor and Atlanta Braves scout John Stewart is available for lessons from November 1 - January 30.

“I would like to take a moment to thank everyone at your facility for the outstanding improvement my son has shown in his batting ability due to your individual lessons. After only 6 lessons from Jesse Braverman and Norm Hayner I have seen a noticeable improvement in his power, consistency, technical skill, and most important, his confidence. He has had several coaches in the 7 years he has been playing and I have taught him everything I thought I knew, realizing now, I should have trusted in a professional coach long ago. I have been so impressed with his improvement that I have signed him up for an additional 6 lessons.”
