Michael has been trained by Taylor for the past 2 years and his skills have grown exponentially due to his teachings. Taylor’s training has helped Michael excel to make the knights team and led him to be a key contributor to winning the championship. Taylor’s knowledge has taught Michael life lessons he can use on and off the field.

Our path to In the Zone came by way of a search for a baseball recruiting video service. We were pleased to contract and receive a product that was unique to the many recruiting video services out there. Marcus Ippolito was approachable and of great value in what can be an exhausting process. Of importance was that he did not push the services of In the Zone despite being the owner. As a result, we inquired about hitting lessons for our son. Coach Taylor was remarkable with a serious, passionate, and knowledgeable approach. He spent the necessary time evaluating my son’s strength, agility, natural mechanics, stance and swing. Once evaluated, Coach Taylor communicated the changes necessary to elevate his hitting with tangible videos of MLB players hitting and began the work to alter a swing and hip motion that has “worked” over years. Though my son is not a big talker, he is a big observer and used the tools to continuously build on the lessons with Coach Taylor despite the tweaks feeling totally uncomfortable. The results were big – culminating in more elevation of the ball, more power in his swing, and balls out of the park! Definitely a good investment.

Both of our boys have been taking hitting lessons and pitching lessons for years with In The Zone. We won’t take them anywhere else. Their approach is second to none and the results have been outstanding.

Our son played for another travel club team, and the decision to leave wasn’t easy but we came to In The Zone because of the Pitcher’s Program integrated with team training. Not only did he become a more accurate and powerful pitcher, all the other area’s of his game got better. The team we came from didn’t do nearly the amount of training preseason and in season that ITZ did – we can’t wait for next season!

Our son has been a ‘student’ at In The Zone for the past four years, and we’ve been extremely happy with his training each time. The experienced, professional staff have always gone above and beyond to make sure he leaves with a great lesson under his belt, as well as give us feedback on the days session. This is why we have returned year after year!

Just want to thank you for your time and effort in helping my son Tommy with his hitting. He really has responded well to all you’ve taught him. Over the past 2 years we’ve been to multiple different sites and had several lessons but you really managed to break it down for him in a way he can understand and he just looks so much more comfortable. He really responded so well to you.

We are absolutely delighted with the results we have seen from ITZ. The management, staff, trainers, private instructors, etc have ALL played significant rolls in our boys development. Unlike other baseball academy’s, ITZ truly focuses on advancing the development of the players year after year.

ITZ coaches are truly amazing. A huge thank you to Coach Taylor, Coach Dan and Coach Brandon for their hard work and dedication to my son. You have made Landon a different kid on the field. His performance and confidence at the plate and in the field are unbelievable. Thanks to all of you for pushing him and believing in him! You guys are amazing!!!

Through the years from 9U to present 14U our son has had his share of ups and downs of baseball experiences. The ITZ facility has been great in helping him to understand his weaknesses and strengths. With the training he gets from the coaching staff during practices and the one on one lessons offered from the trainers at ITZ, we have been very happy with the results we see on and off the field. This club has a lot to offer a player that is dedicated to the sport and has brought out the best in all the team players. The trainers work great with the kids during their lesson along with recording how they go through each drill and use it as base to make corrections in our children’s form. ITZ has been great to our son and family over these years and we are glad to be a part in it. We can’t thank their staff and management team enough.

My son has been playing baseball with ITZ for several years now (11-14U) and has had a great experience. Relative to other teams he’s played with, ITZ focuses on skills development and the entire player–meeting players where they are and striving to help them improve. While the teams’ overall success has, of course, depended partly on the level of the players recruited in any given season, my son’s teams have always been fun and positive, and we’ve always seen clear team progress over the course of every season. Moreover, ITZ is well-organized and dedicated to ensuring that players, parents, and coaches take practices and games seriously. But this doesn’t mean we don’t have a great time, too. The families we’ve met through ITZ are a lot of fun–many of them we’ve played with for years. The ITZ facility and staff provide a solid foundation for building top-notch teams. So if you have a serious player interested in finding a serious team, come check out ITZ.

Our 15 year-old twin sons are passionate about baseball, and have been going to In the Zone for the past four years for instruction in pitching, hitting, and fielding. They have each had a great experience there. All of the instructors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and professional….we are convinced that the instructions they have received at In the Zone have been an important component of their baseball success to date.

We have been with ITZ since 2015. Both of my boys play for them. The coaches & staff are incredible. You must trust the process and we do. We are extremely pleased with the development we have seen in our boys. ITZ is one of the best decisions we made

My son has been at ITZ for the past 6 year, starting at age 7. I would not maintain the relationship with ITZ without their trust, honest feedback and transparancy with our family. The guidance and direction regarding the instruction all aligned to player development. My son is challenged each year through development of goals, a plan to achieve to the goal and the goals are for every aspect of the game (hitting approach, defensive approach, pitching and body health) The season’s evaluations are fair, provide a development path and are communicated to my son and me. What separates ITZ from other organizations is the transparency and the focus on development – player, game preparation and mental parts of the game.

My son has been with ITZ for over four years. The coaches are amazing and he enjoys his lessons and playing time. He was struggling at the plate and his coach was able to work with him to correct his technique. We have seen so much improvement and success during our time with ITZ.

ITZ creates a desirable culture and environment where athletes thrive and always want to return. This is an organization that has strong bones – from the secretary, to its coaches and all the way through to it’s owners.
