I consider J.R. to be one of the finest pitching coaches you can find.
His love for the game and wanting to help young pitchers improve is as good as it gets. I handed down my pitching programs/philosophies to him just like Johnny Sain, my guru, did for me, the same principles that lead to the Atlanta Braves’ incredible run in the 1990s and 2000s and some of the greatest pitching in the history of the game.
I would trust J.R. with any pitcher, from age 9 to 39. From Little Leaguers and teens to minor and Major Leaguers, his goal is to help improve and develop talent and he has a track record of success.
