About Me

I’m a former MLB pitcher, now a color analyst for the Seattle Mariners and studio analyst for MLB Network. But beyond the broadcast booth, my passion is helping the next generation of players and their families navigate the often confusing world of baseball development and recruiting.

That’s why I created NxtGen Baseball—a platform built to open doors and create opportunities for young athletes to chase their dreams.

NxtGen U takes that mission to the next level. It’s a collaboration with the top minds in the game—MLB players, college coaches, performance experts, and recruiters—designed to give families a clear, proven roadmap through every stage of the journey.

From choosing the right travel team and building elite habits, to managing social media and finding the college program that fits your goals, NxtGen U is your all-in-one playbook for turning potential into opportunity.

No more guessing. No more wasted time. Just the step-by-step guidance every family needs to reach their dream college—and beyond.
