Hello, my name is Erick, the owner of Dirt Straight Baseball Academy. I am also the Assistant Baseball Coach at Monterey Peninsula College.

 
 

  • Lessons with us run 30 minutes, are held one-on-one with the instructor, and are located at Monterey Peninsula College baseball field, with access to the complete facility. Lessons can be split between hitting and defense or just a specific focus on one aspect of the game.

  • Team lessons or camps with us are customized to the team’s specific needs. They can be located at the Monterey Peninsula College baseball field, with access to the complete facility, or at the location of the team’s choosing. Lessons can be split between hitting and defense or just a specific focus on one aspect of the game.

  • We offer our consulting services to coaches as well to help them manage practices and to create individual drill plans based on the coach/ team’s needs. This is a customized service that covers many aspects of coaching.

 
 

Our Services

  • Infield

    Fundamentals are essential in order to be a good infielder. Baseballs are hit hard and soft and, our students will be ready for everything hit their way. From beginner to an elite level of baseball, we can help any type of infielder. Arm strength, proper throwing form, proper footwork, glove and hand placement, and repetition are key in development.

  • Hitting

    Our goal isn't to make every batter the same; rather, we want to teach the correct fundamentals without too much change in order to be as comfortable as possible. Working with each student to develop into the best hitter he or she can possibly be. Regardless of size or strength, we want our hitters to succeed as best as they can.

  • Base Running

    Being a good baserunner elevates every player’s game. Proper stance, technique, and jumps all go into becoming not only better but a smarter player.

  • Outfield

    From simple pop-ups to line drives to sky-high fly balls, we have to be able to catch everything hit at us. With different types of drills, our fielders will be prepared for everything hit their way. Working on footwork throwing to bases, being efficient with our routes to baseballs, and improving our knowledge in the outfield is key for our overall success as an outfielder. We want to be the best we can absolutely be.
