“After one workout, they were able to pick out a major flaw in my swing.  Something my own coaches didn’t tell me about the past 3 years.  I went back two more times, continued to do the drills even after I went back to school, and the results speak for themselves.  I went from hitting .220 with 3 home runs and 27 RBI’s total in three years, to hitting .363 with 12 home runs and 58 RBI's in my senior season alone. 

I ended up receiving such accolades as: First Team All America East, America East All-Tournament Team, America East Player of the Week (twice), NEIBA All New England First Team, ECAC All North East First Team, and ABCA All North East First Team. 

I owe a lot of my success to these guys.  The help and guidance they offered was second to none.”

“One day last August my son Henry was hitting at an indoor facility. That was the day I met Brian and Darren. I had followed Brian’s career after high school, so I was aware of who he was once introduced. Coincidently I was also looking for a pitching coach to work with Henry. Although Henry only pitched about 7 innings in relief his junior year, he was interested in improving his pitching skills.  To me, that was one of Henry's luckiest days in baseball to date. 

He started training with Brian and Darren in September. His improvement was dramatic. His velocity noticeably increased (84-87mph to 88-92mph), his mechanics improved, his control was remarkably better, and he was taught a solid mental approach to pitching. His nagging arm problems disappeared and his stamina increased.  Henry also had a very successful senior season as a starter on the mound.  

Thanks to the efforts of Brian and Darren, and Henry's willingness to work with them, he was offered a baseball scholarship to the University of New Haven and will be attending this fall.  He signed his letter of intent at the end of October, less then 2 months after starting with Elite Diamond Baseball. 

I have recommended Brian and Darren to many people and will continue to do so. I especially trust in their ability and dedication as coaches and trainers.”

“When we first signed up with Elite Diamond Baseball, we wanted to help Ethan make the transition from the Little League Field to the big diamond.  Ethan continued to follow his individualized program and the improvement he made from lesson-to-lesson was extremely noticeable.  Not only has his physical all-around game improved, he is now a more intelligent player.  His ongoing education continues every session.”

-Nikki Weiss: Mother of 14 year old Ethan Weiss

"Our son, while young, is a serious baseball player. We wanted the best training possible, so that he can pursue his passion with the best possible fundamentals. We are seeing a significant improvement in his understanding of the game and his performance. He loves working with Darren and Brian and I know they have his best interests at heart. I would recommend, without hesitation, to anyone who wants to improve their baseball skills to work with these guys."
