About Scott »

Raised in the Bronx, NY, I have been surrounded by baseball since I could walk. My father was my first baseball coach and I soon moved on to the Bronx travel leagues. I was a pitcher and first baseman at Riverdale Country School and a pitcher at Union College in Schenectady, NY. After a shoulder injury that stopped my playing career, I began instructing pitching, hitting, and first base work at Pro Prospects Training Center in Monticello, NY. I recently received a degree in English and Physics from Union College.
