Senior Instructor, Camp Director, and Head Coach
Rick takes an academic approach to coaching baseball, taking advantage of every opportunity to learn and improve his skills as a baseball coaching. Since he joined us in 2014, his dedication to the craft has led to his rapidly growing set of responsibilities.
Rick has managed teams at all levels. His influence on the off-season training program is pervasive across all levels. Rick gets to know every ballplayer, enabling him to consult with other instructors on player development. His role is central to the continuity of our program, and not simply a collection of players and teams sharing the same jersey.
Rick grew up playing baseball and soccer and graduated from Federal Way High School in 2005. Rick grew up playing ball with the McColgan brothers, and was coached by the legendary Dean McColgan.
He coached the Ingraham High School JV team for two years, and the Bainbridge High School JV in 2019.
