OUR COACHES
Joe Blanton and Adam Housley both call the Napa Valley home, and both own their own wineries, but baseball is the strongest common thread. Both pitched at the major college level and in the highly respected Cape Cod League. Both played professional baseball and while Adam won a National Championship as a pitcher for Pepperdine and pitched in 97 minor league games, making it to AA, Joe pitched for 13 years in the Big Leagues, winning 2 World Series and hitting a home run in the 2008 series for the Phillies.
They are now dedicated to teaching the right ways to respect the game of baseball. The idea is to work hard and have fun.
