We flew out to work with Patrick when we wanted to incorporate more power into my sons swing, Patrick didn’t try to force his way of hitting onto us, he took the time to watch my son hit and made recommendations based off my sons strengths and weaknesses and made adjustments my son was comfortable with . Patrick quickly responds to submitted video and has great insight to share on an approach to hitting that has made my son more comfortable in the box . We will be flying out again before his Senior season starts and possibly again in the summer pre-draft . There are lots of choices when it comes to hitting instruction , I’m glad we found a guy who doesn’t try to create robots that all swing the same. I can’t recommend working with Patrick enough.

Stepping up to the plate can be anxiety provoking for some. Patrick embodies a calming presence and helps to promote confidence - which is exactly what our son needed. He relates well to players and forms lasting relationships. Patrick betters the player as a whole- strength, mindset, technique, and nutrition. Our son has not only gained a coach, but a confidant, as well.

No one does it like @pjonesbaseball ! Patrick is excellent at helping players with hitting from a physical standpoint, but the way he helps players with mental preparedness is unmatched. More importantly he is 100% invested and truly cares about the players he works with. twitter.com/pjonesbaseball/status/1806846450279633269

My sons had the privilege of working with Patrick, and the improvement in their hitting has been remarkable. After analyzing their swings, Patrick tactfully implemented personalized drills to target specific movements. From the glaring flaws to the most minute refinements, Patrick did an excellent job providing drills, subtle cues, time, and space for my hitters to self-organize their movements. He kept things simple and allowed them to truly focus on the key points/movements with consistent feedback from himself, HitTrax data, and video analysis. Patrick has a keen eye for detail and excellent ability to communicate complex techniques in a simple, relatable manner. Throughout their time together, Patrick masterfully pushed both boys just beyond their personal comfort zones in each of the sessions, and that productive struggle elicited the most significant gains. Beyond the physical components of hitting, Patrick’s ability to teach the mental component is second to none. The growth between the ears for each of my sons has been transformational. After working with Patrick throughout the offseason, they now step into the batter’s box with a good approach and significantly more confidence. They are not intimidated by velocity or sharp breaking balls as Patrick helped them to become more process-oriented. Patrick helped them to grow in their ability to focus on what they can control (being on time, expanding or shrinking the zone as the count changes) and not the outcome of a particular at bat. Having a confident kid with a decent approach at the plate is just as important as having a fundamentally sound swing. As a professional educator, former Varsity Head Coach, and former Division 1 player, I cannot recommend working with Patrick enough. He has an excellent wealth of knowledge and is always looking for new ideas to bring to the players he coaches. More important, however, is his ability to connect with players and provide personalized instruction on all facets of hitting. My sons always look forward to their sessions with Patrick and truly appreciate the way he coaches and supports them. As a Dad, I’m incredibly grateful to have Patrick as an important part of my sons’ baseball world. He’s a wonderful man and serves as a great mentor for them. I highly recommend Patrick to any player looking to elevate their game.

Patrick works with a number of our players at Moeller High School. His insight, approach and mindset around not only hitting but the game itself is phenomenal. With that being said, Patrick also serves as a mentor and role model for not only our players but my son as well! As a father and a coach, I cannot say enough great things about Patrick! He is fueled by his passion of the game, but more importantly, fueled to help develop great young men who happen to be great players as well!!

Also, he went above and beyond guiding Will through the college recruiting process and played an integral part in Will’s ultimate success. We highly recommend working with Patrick.

Tyler has been going to Patrick for several years now. The steady growth we’ve seen has been amazing, not just from a metric perspective but also from his mental approach resulting in confidence at the plate. The latter is what I believe sets Patrick apart from other hitting coaches. He is a great listener and student of the game always trying to find new ways to challenge hitters and instills that same growth mindset in the players he trains. If your athlete is serious about baseball/softball and challenging themselves, I highly recommend you give Patrick a chance to work with your athlete.

I would like to share my online testimonial about the coaching my son, he received from Patrick Jones. Patrick's coaching has had a significant impact on his batting skills in baseball. Not only has Patrick helped improve his swing, but he has also played a crucial role in boosting his confidence in his abilities and thought process when it comes to batting. We have been working with Patrick for several years now, and I must say that it has been one of the best experiences we have had with a sports coach. Patrick's expertise and dedication are evident in every session. He has a unique ability to connect with young athletes and tailor his coaching methods to their specific needs. Under Patrick's guidance, his batting skills have improved tremendously. His swing has become more refined and consistent, and he has gained a deeper understanding of the strategic aspects of batting. Patrick's coaching has not only helped him become a better player but has also instilled a love for the game and a strong work ethic. What sets Patrick apart from other coaches is his genuine care for his students' overall development. He goes beyond just teaching the technical aspects of the game and focuses on building character, discipline, and mental resilience. My son has not only grown as a player under Patrick's mentorship but also as a person. I would highly recommend Patrick Jones as a baseball coach for anyone looking to improve their skills and develop a passion for the game. His expertise, dedication, and ability to connect with young athletes make him an exceptional coach. We are grateful for the positive impact he has had on my son’s baseball journey.

Patrick has been working with our daughter for the past 5 months. We have seen a tremendous amount of growth, not just in her hitting (distance and exit velo have both increased), but her mental game at the plate is so much stronger! Patrick really takes the time to explain to her what she is doing and why she is doing that. He takes the time to work through one issue at a time and really helps her master that part of the swing before moving to the next step. The technology he uses is top notch and helps give my daughter a visual to what she is doing right/wrong. Patrick is professional, timely and great with communication. Working with him has been a very positive experience all the way around.

Patrick has relationships with coaches and schools at all levels and is truly interested in helping the athletes he works with find the right home. Having someone you can trust to guide you through the recruiting process is invaluable."

"Patrick has unmatched experience with collegiate coaches that grants him an understanding of the subtleties of recruiting. His connections within the baseball world can not be understated. Patrick has the ability to gain insight on every factor involved in the recruiting process; there was not one question I had throughout my working relationship with Patrick that he did not already have the answer to or was not able to quickly find out. Patrick Jones is a seemingly necessary resource for anyone in the recruiting process”

"Patrick has been working with my daughter for approximately one year. 


 She’s had great success with hitting coaches, but her swing was just not right. From 9U travel ball to national level 16U, she would always get hits, but she was not the power hitter she should be for weight training 5 days per week. 


When Patrick began lessons, he stressed the importance of having a plan, working the count, and expanding her zone. I’m not joking, he corrected her swing in one lesson while I watched. 


 Since working with Patrick, my daughter still has the most hits, but these hits are all extra base hits, homeruns, and RBI’s. During the Spring 2023 travel season, she played in almost every competitive national tournament in the country. In 52 games, she batted .428. She had 59 hits, 27 extra base hits , 47 RBIs, and 7 homeruns. 


 After 8 years of travel ball, my daughter just signed with a Power 5 college. 


 Go Hawkeye’s!

I highly recommend Patrick Jones for any high school baseball player looking to play at the next level. 


From day 1, Patrick was honest and informative about Jack. Patrick’s ability to analyze a hitter and provide legitimate feedback immediately is second to none.


Patrick’s ability to relate to Jack was honestly unbelievable. Patrick has worked 1-1 with Jack for a year and a half. 


Every session, when we leave his facility, we continue to be impressed. Jack just committed to play college baseball. 


Patrick was a key ingredient in accomplishing his goal. 


The relationship that was formed between Patrick and our family, I feel, will continue for years.

"We have worked with Patrick for approximately six months and the improvement in each of my sons has been incredible. 


What impressed me most with Patrick's work is that my sons couldn't be more different and they have both seen significant gains in their bat speed, exit velocity, and contact while hitting. I have a son who bats right handed and a son who bats left handed. 


They both throw right handed, but each are built and move differently with their own strengths and weaknesses. Despite these differences, Patrick has coached each as an individual, not using a "cookie-cutter" approach.
