Kevin Fox
Kevin Fox, attended UC Irvine freshman year before transferring to Biola University where he both hit and pitched. Was selected by the Houston Astros in the 15 round of the 2006 Draft. Spent his first professional season in the Appalachian league. Kevin just recently finished up his second year in the New York Penn league. Having played everything from Little League baseball to travel ball all the way through high school and college gives Kevin a well rounded background with developing players today. Over his many years of playing Kevin has had great coaches and instructors who have taught him various drills and techniques that can help a young player develop into a great player.
Baseball is a tough mental game. Learning how to prepare yourself mentally for each at bat, or pitching outing can elevate your performance and give you a competitive edge. I can help give you various tips on how to be ready to compete.
