Baseball Instructors

Swanson's coaching staff consists of current and former professional players, major league scouts, and current and former college players and coaches. Each instructor has reached high levels of baseball by practicing the fundamentals of the game, and has learned that homeruns and strikeouts are great, but only a small part of the game.
