The modern-day recruiting process is challenging, confusing, and always changing. It is challenging for high school coaches like me to stay up to date with all the changes at the NCAA level, the coaching carousel at the D1 level, and what opportunities may exist for individual players of varying skill levels. Joey is a valuable resource for my players to utilize to help them all fulfill their dream of playing college baseball and beyond. He brings integrity and honesty to all of his clients.

I have known Joey since he started coaching at his alma mater University of the Pacific. Since we would recruit some of the same strong academic baseball players, I was able to witness the hard work and dedication to the student/athlete experience which Joey exemplifies. He is extremely knowledgeable in the recruiting process and is respected by his peers. We look forward to working with C3 recruits and the possibility of bringing student/athletes to Chapman University.

I've worked with Joey for more than five years, and he's someone I trust completely. A big part of that trust comes from his recruiting background. Joey understands what college coaches are looking for because he's been on that side of it. His evaluations are honest and accurate, and he's always transparent about a player's strengths, areas for growth, and whether they're the right fit for our program. He doesn't oversell; he tells you the truth. Just as important is the kind of person Joey is. He's in this for the right reasons: to help players find the right home and to help programs like ours find the right players. The players he's recommended to us have been quality people as well as quality ballplayers, and that says a lot about how carefully he does his work. I'd recommend Joey to any family looking for someone with integrity, good judgment, and a genuine desire to help.
