Testimonials

The Art of Pitching turned my career around from not getting much playing time to now becoming professional, the training with AOP helped me create the discipline to accomplish my goals. Working around a group of guys that are all giving their blood sweat and tears to play baseball at a higher level and become a better person is awesome, the environment is hard to beat and there isn’t anywhere else I’ll train going forward as a professional.

Raul Salazar | Professional Athlete

I have been going to AOP for a couple of years and there has been improvement for me every single year. Year one we focused on mechanics and velo and that took me from sitting 85 to 93-95. Most recently we worked on commanding the strike zone and refining myself as a pro. AOP keeps me ready and I feel ready to go for 2024.

Alex Carillo | Professional Athlete

Since the beginning when I met Art I knew something was different with him. Great guy with great grit and knowledge. To me it’s the right combination of someone to look up to. I came at 83 from the top and then reached 94 at one point and now I’m sidearmer topping at 92. We manifested our success and than my dream came true of signing a pro contract with the Houston Astros all thanks to The Art Of Pitching.
