    SHORTSTOP U

     

    I’m Gary Patchett, and I’m honored to serve as the Head Baseball Coach at Linfield Christian High School. Beyond the title, my true passion is helping athletes discover just how far they can go when they commit to the game and to themselves.

    Baseball is more than mechanics — it’s a journey. To grow, players must embrace the process of refining their movements, sharpening their instincts, and learning to perform with both confidence and precision. That process isn’t always easy, but it’s where character and resilience are built.

    My mission is to inspire players to love that journey. I want every athlete I work with to walk away with more than just sharper infield skills — I want them to carry the lessons of hard work, discipline, and perseverance into every part of their lives.

    Ultimately, it’s about more than baseball. It’s about shaping players into the best version of themselves, on and off the field.

    INFIELD TRAINING FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT

     

    What Parents Can Expect:

    • Strong Skill Development – We teach proper glove work, footwork, throwing accuracy, and decision-making to give players a solid foundation.
       
    • Game-Speed Practice – Players get high-quality repetitions that simulate real-game situations, building confidence and muscle memory.
       
    • Positive Environment – Small groups ensure personalized attention, encouragement, and growth for every athlete.
       
    • Life Lessons Through Baseball – Beyond skills, players learn discipline, focus, teamwork, and leadership — qualities that matter on and off the field.
       

    This program is more than just baseball training — it’s an opportunity for your child to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired while doing what they love.

    “Tailored Training for Homeschool Athletes Committed to Growth”

     

    Our Wednesday morning infield program is designed to complement the independent study lifestyle many homeschool athletes follow. This is not a school program — it’s specialized baseball training created to support players who want high-level instruction during flexible hours. 

     

    What Parents Can Expect:

    • Tailored for Independent Learners – Sessions are structured to fit into a homeschool routine, offering purposeful training without interfering with academics. 
    • Focused Skill Development – Instruction on glove work, footwork, throwing mechanics, and decision-making to build a strong defensive foundation. 
    • Game-Like Practice – Repetitions at game speed to help athletes develop confidence and instinct under pressure. 
    • Supportive Small-Group Environment – Personalized coaching in a positive setting where homeschool athletes can connect and grow. 
    • Character & Confidence – Training that emphasizes discipline, focus, teamwork, and leadership beyond the field.
       

    This program gives homeschool athletes the chance to sharpen their infield skills while reinforcing the values of hard work, independence, and self-motivation.
