KJ is great- knows how to work with young kids especially if they aren't quite mature or physically ready. He is very patient and knows the game! Great to see a former professional do his job and do it well! read more

We can't say enough wonderful things about KJ. Since my daughter started working with him, her transformation as a hitter has been nothing short of amazing. Not only has she become incredibly confident and powerful at the plate, but her entire presence during at-bats has changed. Many parents on the team have commented on how she carries herself with a newfound determination and poise. Each lesson with KJ is one of the highlights of the week. She always leaves smiling, sweaty, and noticeably improved. KJ's expertise, patience, and ability to connect with young athletes is truly exceptional. If you're looking for a hitting instructor who will make a real difference in your child's game, look no further. Highly recommend! read more

We love coach KJ and highly recommend him! KJ has been working with my son for about 10 months and we've seen vast improvement. My son went from 10th/11th in the batting order on his tournament team to 4th. KJ works with my son on all aspects of the game, hitting, fielding and pitching. My son loves going to sessions with KJ - he has so much fun but he's also learning at the same time. read more

If you're looking to increase your child's hitting IQ then KJ is the man to do just that. You'll get plenty of reps putting the bat on the ball but does your child understand the reason behind what comes with hitting off a tee, soft toss, front toss, pitching machine, etc. he helps them understand what the goal is when they're up to bat. He preaches mindset in the box and outside the box. KJ recognizes where the mistakes are being made and lets your child understand what it is and walks them through to correct it. He's accessible even when you're not in session. He is there to help when your kid is struggling via text message or phone to give valuable pointers in realtime. The same approach above for hitting he brings that same energy to fielding. KJ will get your child where they want to be and beyond. Check him out. Bay Area native! An outstanding coach, mentor and Man. Very professional and my boy always looks forward to training with Coach Kj. read more

KJ has been working with our 16 year old daughter about a year now. She went to him hoping to get some more confidence and power in her hitting. KJ has become a mentor to her. Not only has he helped her with her goals, but he has gained her trust with all of the advice he constantly provides her. It's not all about the physical techniques he gives her, more importantly it's the intangible mental piece he works on with her. So many coaches have not made as much sense to her as KJ has and also have not cared about her as a player. My wife and I highly recommend KJ to any player looking to get better on and off the field! read more

Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you...Kevin knows his stuff and knows how to get the best out of each player! Our oldest started working with Kevin about 2 years go. Although other parts of his game was solid, his confidence at the plate was low and it showed in his hitting. Kevin worked with him, not only to fine tune his natural swing to get more power out of it but on the often undercoached mental aspects of baseball. We soon saw a huge improvement in our son's game overall. His swing greatly improved and perhaps more importantly, his overall confidence in playing the game (hitting and fielding) has skyrocketed! Fast forward a bit and Kevin was crucial in helping our son find the right path for college. He made himself available to answer any questions about playing "at the next level" - what to expect, how to select the right program for our son and how to make the most of eligibility. Kevin and our son continue to work together - yes for baseball but we're sure some general life guidance as well. We're grateful for Kevin as a coach and mentor. He brings his whole self to coaching, drawing on his decades of experience with major league, national, and minor league teams to help each player be as strong as possible, while remaining approachable and down to earth. read more

We used Kevin to help my son get hitting and pitching practice. My son really enjoyed his sessions with Kevin and both his hitting and pitching improved quite a bit. Kevin has a great way about him- he's relaxed, easy to talk to and my son responded very well to that low-pressure approach and looked forward to his lessons. He also took a genuine interest in my son and we never felt pressured to sign up for more lessons or spend more money- his motivation is to improve the player. We would use Kevin again in a heartbeat, and recommend him highly! read more

My twin boys started working with KJ this spring. We came to him for help with their fear of striking out and not swinging. His calm, cool demeanor really helps them relax all the while he is working them non-stop! He doesn't overload them with things to focus on, he keeps it simple with lots of reps. I have definitely seen an improvement in their confidence and game. I highly recommend KJ. read more

Kevin brings a ton of knowledge obviously, but more importantly he can translate and communicate that knowledge so well to kids. My son really loved the way he explained concepts and how to apply them. Grade A instruction with Kevin! read more

My son has been with KJ for years and has seen consistent steady improvement in both his physical and mental approach to the game. There are many instructors with 'professional' experience, however, KJ is unique in his ability to customize his lessons based on a players experience/needs. Highly recommend KJ to anyone looking to better their game. read more

My daughter had her first session with coach KJ for hitting. I have a very good impression on him. He's knowledgable. He shares his experience on hitting and I learnt a lot. Looking forward more sessions and learning! read more

KJ has been working with my son for the past three years. My son always looks forward to practice with KJ, and I've seen his hitting improve dramatically over this period of time. KJ is extremely patient and has done a great job not only improving my son's hitting technique but also his confidence at the plate. KJ has a ton of knowledge and experience as a former big league player, but is also exceedingly humble, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. KJ shows a genuine interest in my son and is always willing to share life lessons beyond baseball. In addition to hitting, KJ alternates between working on fielding and pitching and has done a great job working with my son in these areas as well. I feel fortunate to have KJ as a coach and mentor for my son, and count him as a great friend as well. read more

KJ is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to hitting. He explains things in a simple straightforward manner and he keeps it simple for the kids. He's helped my son not only with his swing but also his mental approach at the plate. I only wish I had started my son sooner with KJ read more

First my son and now my daughter have have worked with KJ over a total of six years and I've recommended him to many friends and team families. While hitting has been his primary focus with both of my kids, I have not hesitated to ask for his help with other aspects of the game including fielding, mental preparation and how to deal with adversity on and off the field. Having seen many coaching styles over the years from Rec leagues to highly competitive levels of softball I can say without hesitation that KJ's approach helps players achieve on the field results and enjoy the game more. What struck me most about KJ is his approach to meeting each and every player where they are. He doesn't break them down so he can teach them "the one way" to be a better hitter, etc... He works with their existing skillset and builds a repeatable understanding of the physical and mental fundamentals that will lead them to better, more sustained results. After dealing with competitive 10U and 12U travel ball coaches who focus more on highlighting player's flaws and grinding them down while not really teaching players anything, KJ is both a breath of fresh air and just an overall great human being that I look forward to my kids interacting with. He achieves results through positive reinforcement. He'll pause occasionally to highlight an area where the player needs to focus, both describing the mechanic to work on and helping the player to understand what to "feel" so she/he builds muscle memory. The other area where KJ's approach stands out is that he understands kids that aspire to play at more competitive levels also need to build physical strength. While there is a good bit of chatter between player and coach, his sessions are no picnic when it comes to getting work done. Players get a ton of reps. This one quote from KJ, to me, sums up why he's the best, "I just try to teach the game the same way I'd want someone else to teach my kids." Give KJ a try, you won't regret it. read more

Kevin Jordan has been instructed my 13 year old son and 10 year old girls for years. There are a lot of good baseball conches out there, but not all of them communicate well with kids. KJ is great at both. I'd highly recommend him. read more

Kevin (KJ) is a perfect fit for any aged athlete. From baseball to softball he knows how to connect with the player and knows what each individual player specifically needs for themselves to get better. Being able to identify the little things and to teach the correction in a way the player understands is exactly what KJ does and it's not easy to do. My son is understanding hitting on a higher level and enjoys every session he has with KJ! I highly recommend KJ to anyone and any age...even starting them young to create a good base to develop off of is important! read more

My two boys have been seeing KJ (Kevin Jordan) for over 6 years from when they were in Little League. They are in high school now and still workout with KJ. As a former Major League Baseball (MLB) player with the Phillies, KJ has played at the highest level of baseball (including D1 college baseball) and has instructed players at the highest levels as well. However, what makes KJ special is his ability to connect with kids (and kids at heart) of all ages. KJ loves baseball and you can see the love of the game showing through his instruction. For my boys, that enthusiasm translates for them to work harder and get better at this wonderful game despite all the ups and downs. KJ also has an amazing relationship with his own children. I've seen KJ with his own son many times just hanging out or working out and they're like best friends. His son recently finished playing college baseball and is now playing professionally. KJ is the best! We are fortunate to have him as coach, mentor, and friend. read more

KJ embodies all the best elements a parent would seek in a coach for their child: Experience - played in the MLB; Communication - he helps correct movements with both simple verbal cues and in-depth explanations, adapting his messaging to what the athlete needs to hear at that moment; Connection - KJ brings an approachable, relaxed, positive style to coaching and connects with the players about more than just baseball - school, life, other interests. Whether the goal is to help a younger player build a solid baseball foundation or a more experienced player looking to fine tune their hitting approach, KJ is the answer.

My 14 yr old daughter has been working with Kevin (KJ) for several months now. He has improved her hitting mechanics and given her increased confidence stepping into the batter's box. Kevin is able to identify areas for improvement AND the drills/techniques to improve in those areas (both big and small). His ability to connect with players without 'over-engineering' too many suggestions and tips helps build confidence and develop steady improvement over time. Kevin takes a genuine interest in his students not just w/ baseball/softball but with school, other sports, etc... He's a fantastic mentor/coach and someone my daughter really appreciates and respects. Kevin also coaches fielding which I expect to take advantage of closer to the season. Lastly - I've really appreciated the flexibility with scheduling. While I try not to have the need to switch times it happens - and Kevin is always responsive and accommodating. read more

In addition to being a knowledgable, accomplished hitting instructor, KJ Is a great person. Our three kids have improved their baseball / softball skills tremendously thanks to KJ (he was instrumental in getting our daughter committed to play D1 softball on scholarship), but our family's relationship with KJ is about much more than ball. Whether it's talking about teenage "drama" with my daughter, sharing favorite jazz musicians with my son, or just generally joking around, KJ knows how to connect with kids at their level -- all while teaching the finer points of hitting & fielding. We're thankful to have KJ as part of our team to help our kids reach their goals on the field and in life. read more

My son has worked with Kevin Jordan (KJ) now for over four years. He has become a much better player because of KJ's approach to hitting, fielding and pitching. My sons baseball IQ has greatly improved too. KJ shares real life examples of his playing days in the major leagues, has gotten to know my sons likes and dislikes and always ask how is school going! Most important to me. KJ is the most patient of coaches and loves what he does. His teaching process resonates largely with my son because he gives clear feedback on what is good or where improvements can be made positively. KJ, often sends video so my son can apply the lesson at home or refresh before his next practice. These are invaluable snippets that make all the difference and really keeps my son focused on doing things correctly. If your son or daughter is looking to become a better player, I highly recommend calling Kevin Jordan (KJ) to help! read more

We first met KJ in 2017 when my son was in second grade. He is now in late middle school and has met with him on a nearly weekly basis. When he first started, my son needed basic instruction on the principles of hitting. During the time they have worked together, he has developed into a successful hitter who made the all star team in his league. As he has progressed, KJ has continued to adapt his approach to working with him, introducing new challenges while remaining encouraging. He has also worked with my son on fielding and pitching. I have been impressed with his ability to break down the fundamentals of pitching. He analyzed my son's mechanics and made suggestions that helped my son to throw strikes more consistently. Over the course of last couple of seasons, my son gained confidence in all areas of his play. I have seen my son take what he has learned from KJ in his lessons and apply it successfully during games. My son is now playing at the 13U-15U level on a full sized baseball field for the first time. Given the new challenges of tougher competition and having to use a heavier and longer bat, KJ has worked with my son to break down his swing and helped him to improve his follow through and learn to recognize different pitches and react more quickly and effectively when he sees them. KJ provides helpful specific advice that my son can incorporate immediately. At subsequent lessons KJ follows up on that advices and makes adjustments as needed. Most importantly, my son's love for baseball has deepened in large part because of his work with KJ. As an ex-major leaguer KJ not only has an extensive knowledge of the game but also has a natural rapport with kids. His demeanor keeps kids motivated and gives them the confidence to believe they can learn and improve. I can't recommend KJ highly enough. He is both skilled and kind and knows how to teach kids to play the game the right way. Resilience and sportsmanship are just as important as improving your skills. KJ has helped my son to become a complete baseball player who enjoys and looks forward to playing. read more

My 16 yr old daughter started training with KJ in August of 2022 and we haven't looked back. Yes, he's a hitting instructor but there's way more to it. Anybody who's ever played competitive sports knows the mental aspect is equally if not more important. KJ delivers on both. His hitting knowledge is obvious, and he articulates swing mechanics, while keeping it simple and straightforward. Often times he'll grab a bat and demonstrate exactly what he means. He builds the swing one piece at a time rather than throwing everything at a player at once. And then there's what my daughter and I call "KJ Nuggets." Because he played in the major leagues for years, he's seen everything. He's got an anecdote for every situation hitters face; whether it be about facing a great pitcher, going through a slump, coming off the bench to pinch hit, etc. His story nuggets are relevant and relatable, and they're gold! He's sharing his wisdom with these young athletes. Most sessions end with KJ telling my daughter to "have fun playing" or something to that effect. What else can I say? He just gets it. read more

Kevin Jordon is one of the best in the Bay.... He has been working with my daughter for some time now. She definitely has turned her hitting around with his style of teaching.. read more

My kids have both worked with KJ for years, from tee ball, through little league and high school. Kevin is an amazing teacher. Yes, he is the real deal when it comes to first hand knowledge and experience from playing and coaching at the highest level of the game. That's rare, but not unique. What is unique is Kevin's ability to teach the nuances of hitting, fielding and pitching, somehow making it simple and accessible for both novice and experienced players. I'm convinced the core of Kevin's instruction superpowers are rooted in the fact that he genuinely cares about the players he works with, and thinks about them as people first, players second. His work with high school age players is almost as a kind of baseball therapist; which makes sense considering how much of baseball is about mental approach. Kevin's coaching includes unique techniques, many of which are designed to help arm players with tools they can use to better understand their own performance, self diagnose and make corrections to maximize their success at the plate or in the field. Kevin's a student of baseball, and his knowledge and experience means he does not instruct a one size fits all formula, but has the ability to diagnose issues and instruct on a player by player basis. Kevin does all this with humility, compassion and legit insights; no old school yelling or tired throwaway baseball catch phrases here. With Kevin you get an engaging, caring, humble human combined with next level baseball knowledge, experience and instruction. Looking for baseball help for your younger or high school player? Jump on the opportunity to have them work with the best there is. read more
