Testimonials
“My son has done private lessons, as well as played on a team coached by Tyler Banks. Samuel immediately felt comfortable with Tyler and his approach to teaching and strategizing with the boys. This team had an array of talents and experience yet Tyler was able to make a connection with each athlete as well as cultivate the bonds within his team.
Individual lessons with Tyler are easy to schedule, priced competitively, and have shown a positive impact on my son’s pitching game. He communicates effectively and makes adjustments within his teaching to best suit the needs of the team and individual player. My son wears hearing aids and when he approached Tyler and asked him to signal larger around the basepaths, Tyler was immediately able to make the adjustments. ”

“ As someone who has taught and coached hundreds of kids over the last decade, I cannot stress enough how much I fully endorse and recommend Tyler as a baseball instructor. Tyler has obtained a vast knowledge of the game by competing at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. He provides valuable insight during lessons while being patient, concise, and encouraging all at the same time. The improvement athletes make from lesson to lesson is noticeable in the most positive of ways. He is always building up confidence while also providing feedback on what to improve on. Bottom line: kids love being instructed and coached by Tyler... he is fantastic. ”
-Adam Michaelson, Parent & Former Englewood HS Baseball Coach
“Finding an instructor who has the ability to communicate across a wide spectrum of age groups and baseball skills is a challenge for coaches. We found Tyler’s programming to be the best fit for our teams.His ability to adapt and instruct based on each player's unique talent and understanding was the key to our team being highly engaged and getting better physically and mentally after each session. Our players always asked when coach Tyler would be back. After a few weeks we produced some of our best pitching performances to conclude our tournament season. Like most youth baseball parents, our kids have been to many camps, programs, and instructors. They’ve never had one they hated, but also never had one they couldn’t wait to go back to. With coach Tyler, the combo of development, learning, fun, and competitions made this a clear winner as they couldn’t wait for the next session.”

“I have known Coach Banks for about a year, and he has significantly improved my development as a baseball player. His passion for pitching is evident in the detail he puts into writing programs, creating drills, and educating his players. Throughout high school, I encountered numerous trainers selling their pitching/velocity programs, often risking misinformation or being ripped off. Coach Banks stands out with a skill set that genuinely develops his players while providing high-quality service.
He has transformed my approach to pitching and provided drills that have immensely improved my athleticism. The throwing drills have simplified pitching, ingraining the necessary movements to become an elite thrower. With something as complex as pitching, keeping it simple is crucial. Additionally, he has provided non-throwing drills for arm rest periods, maximizing my development potential as a baseball player.
Overall, Tyler’s dedication and high level of care create an environment that fosters the development of tomorrow’s pitchers.”
- Ben Whiteside, Butler University Pitcher
“I am a former teammate of Tyler Banks and was able to see his own work ethic and his methods for training firsthand. First of all, Tyler Banks was consistently one of the hardest workers on the team and researched pitching and the pitching process more than anyone I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. He understands all the mechanics of pitching and also understands that everyone is unique. He led the process of creating unique programs for our entire pitching staff, individualized movements to help clean up mechanics, and strengthen their bodies as well as recovery movements to keep their arms healthy. While I will not speak on behalf of our other pitchers, I will say that I observed massive jumps in velocity from those who were using the programs Tyler had made for them. As for myself, the program Tyler made for me is the one I continually use today. It has cleared up much of my arm pain and has helped me gain 5-6 mph in the span of a year. Tyler’s approach and the program made specifically for me helped me receive an offer to pitch in Division 1 baseball for my last year of college eligibility. Tyler understands the mechanics of pitching and the movement required to create a successful blueprint to anyone hoping to further their baseball careers!”

“I was able to work with Tyler Banks on pitching throughout my college career and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Tyler has a deep understanding of pitching mechanics and immediately identified areas where I needed improvement. His ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and simple way made the session incredibly valuable. What stood out the most was his personalized approach. He tailored the drills and exercises specifically to my skill level, which helped me see immediate improvements in my technique. The use of video analysis was a game-changer as it allowed me to see exactly where I was going wrong and how to correct my form. Tyler was also incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the lesson, making it a positive and motivating experience. By the end of the session, I had a clear plan for what to work on, and I’m already seeing progress. I highly recommend working with Tyler to anyone looking to improve their pitching skills. His expertise, personalized coaching, and supportive approach make him one of the best in the business.”
- Julian Ledezma, Former North Park University Pitcher
“Since I started working with Tyler he has really been able to take my game to the next level. His pitching expertise and strength / conditioning program helped my performance on the field exponentially. With his help I have been able to achieve many personal goals on and off the field. I went from 78 mph to 88 mph in the span of a year and a half.”
- Griffin Self, North Park University Pitcher
“These lifts are awesome. I feel my body moving better than before and have translated onto the field which has allowed me to become a better baseball player. The service is amazing. Tyler is always willing to do what’s best for you and is always working on finding the right solution for you.”
