May 2026 Newsletter: Meet Our Player of the Month + Summer Programs

Dear Players, Parents, and Supporters,

It's graduation season, and this month we are celebrating one of our most dedicated long-term athletes...a player who proves that elite development can happen through online-lessons. Read his story and upcoming summer programs.

⚾🏆 Player of the Month:

Fred Lohne

Congratulations Fred on committing to play baseball for the University of Puget Sound! 👏

Six years ago, Fred began training with Coach Tisch...and here's the part that surprising. The majority of the training has been online.

Despite living in a different state, Fred showed up consistently, trusted the process, and put in work between sessions.

The results speak for themselves. In our six years of virtual training, Fred has developed into a college level athlete and is committed to the University of Puget Sound.

Fred’s journey is a testament to what online coaching can do. You don’t need to be physically in the same place; you just need to be dedicated and strive for greatness.

Behind the Stats

Coach Tisch: What has motivate you to keep training for 6 years?

Fred: “Being able to see myself develop and progress over time has always pushed me to keep improving. Being disciplined and consistent is hard, but personally it’s a great challenge.”

Coach Tisch: How have online lessons worked for you?

Fred: “Being from a small town, online lessons have been a huge factor in my progression and development as a baseball player. Coach Tim is very knowledgeable and makes online sessions easy and similar to in person sessions. They have truly improved my mechanics, movements, and velocity.”

Coach Tisch: What does committing to Puget Sound mean to you?

Fred: “Being able to commit to a four-year college has been my dream as a baseball player for as long as I can remember. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to play another four years of baseball and receive a great education.”

💡Pro Tip from Coach Tisch

Power comes from the ground up.

⚾Pitchers: Drive down the mound and let your hips lead.

🏏Hitters: Load into the ground and rotate your hips first -- your arms and hands will follow.
