ABOUTACE
Hi, I'm PETE BIRDWELL
From my time in the New York Mets Organization and countless hours in "The Backyard" in Poway I learned how the top hitters see the game and what they look for in pitchers. Because of the way I was taught by Dom Johnson to notice how a pitcher moves in space I have built a strong eye for mechanics and what best works that individual.
Since I started Ace Pitching, my pitchers have achieved lots of personal 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, LMU, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN U., jACKSON u, UC DAVIS, PEPPERDINE, U. OF SAN DIEGO among others.
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’.
