What people are saying about Pro Prospects

"Pro Prospects has done a great job helping Marissa. Jed Carrier has helped her to improve her hitting and Darren Rea taught her different ways to spin the ball when she pitches. Steve Pinto and his staff do a great job with all of the kids who come here for lessons.”

Mike Diescher
Father of Marissa Diesher

"Our son and daughter have been students at the Training Center for over seven years. Steve Pinto put together a seminar on how to manage college recruitment, created a Video highlighting skills, fine tuned our Player Profiles, contacted coaches when requested and guided our children with appropriate responses and courses of action when opportunities arose. Especially important, is that Steve and his staff remained positive and supportive even when the recruiting response was disappointing.  Steve’s best advice was to remind our children that a good education comes first, and playing college baseball or softball was the “whipped cream”.

The skills learned at the Pro-Prospects are invaluable. They teach not only correct technique but mental toughness, game situations and the intangible tools needed to evolve into a fine tuned athlete. These are the characteristics that help get players noticed by coaches.

Our family is grateful to Steve, Jed and the entire staff at Pro-Prospects Training Center. They are more than just athletic trainers, but are people truly interested in the achievements of their students and have always made us feel like a member of the Pro-Prospects family".

"Joey and Alex started private training lessons at ages 5 with Pro Prospects Training Center. It has made a tremendous difference in their overall performance. Because of the staff at Pro Prospects they are years ahead in their abilities and skill set. It has taught them discipline and a good work ethic that they will carry with them throughout their adult years. We recommend Pro Prospects Training Center to everyone we meet whose child has an interest in baseball or softball".

“As a Little League coach and board member, I cannot say how much Pro Prospects has helped our league’s development. Through coaching clinics, staff coming to practices, instructional camps and observing individual lessons, our coaches and players have learned so much.  Also my  two sons attended Pro Prospects for weekly lessons for the past year. Their progress in both pitching and hitting has been remarkable. Throughout their Little League season and All-Star games, the staff’s willingness to listen to the boys and help them make adjustments has been wonderful. They’re just as concerned about the boys’ confidence as they are their skills. This has been invaluable to their development.  I would heartily recommend all the services Pro Prospects has to offer. Thank you, Steve, Jed, Joe, Everett and Matt!!!”

"Our daughter Emily started with with some of your clinics last season. From the clinics her play improved greatly, so it was decided to start private lessons at Pro Prospects. When starting hitting lessons with Jed, her goal was to maker her junior high team. This goal was accomplished, as she was one of the only two seventh graders to make the team. The way the coaches at Pro Prospects teach their players is to encourage and praise them instead of yelling or belittling them".

"I've had 3 boys go through the lessons the last 13 years. It's helped them with their confidence and self-esteem. Pro Prospects is a great place to learn. The coaches and staff are A+! Thanks for all you do. The one on one training is the best thing for young men and women to develop baseball/softball skills at any level of play".

"I’ve been at Pro Prospects for four years and each year I’ve improved. They make you set goals and help you achieve them. Last season, I made The Times Herald Record All-Star team and won my team’s hitting award. If it wasn’t for Pro Prospects, I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in today".

"I believe that my mentoring and strength training have contributed to my success. Pro Prospects taught me the correct way to work out and Mr. Pinto has spent a long time helping me correct my mechanics. Pro Prospects has helped me increase my velocity and I've become a better baseball player".
