ABOUTACE
Hi, I'm PETE BIRDWELL
As a former NEW YORK METS PRO I learned how the top hitters see the game and what they look for in pitchers. Because of my notable eye for mechanics, I have become an expert at fine tuning pitchers to help them reach their peak.
My central location is at Power Alley in Rancho Cordova, yet I also offer online classes, delivering high quality pitching analysis and coaching wherever you are in the US.
Since I started Ace Pitching, my pitchers have achieved remarkable success, earning scholarships and moving on to play for prestigious universities across the country. My coaching has helped athletes reach programs at universities like Kentucky, San Jose State, Sacramento State, San Francisco State, and Sacramento City College, among others. Each player has benefited from my guidance, making Ace Pitching a true launchpad for their collegiate success.
Who coached me;
I have a close working relationship with my mentor and baseball legend, Dom Johnson, considered one of, if not the best individual pitching coaches in the country. In the last ten years he has helped over 150 high school players receive college scholarships, 28 achieve pitcher of the year and 53 achieve all conference. Over the years I was also coached by Sparky Anderson, three-time World Series Champ (75, 76’, 84’), two-time manager of the year (84’, 87’), Hall of Fame class of 2000, and Frank Viola- three-time All-Star, World Series MVP 87’, NL Cy Young 88’.
