Private Lessons · Fall 2026
Individualized baseball development for pitchers and hitters, built around repeatable movement, purposeful practice, clear feedback, and a development plan athletes can understand.
Private development
Pitching and hitting follow the same fall schedule, package structure, and pricing. Choose one discipline and one training location for your package.
Pitching Development
Build a sustainable delivery, develop command, understand your arsenal, and learn how to compete with purpose.
View Pitching Packages →Hitting Development
Make the pieces of the swing work together, remove unnecessary complexity, and build confidence through repetition and understanding.
View Hitting Packages →Pitching development with a plan
Private pitching lessons should connect each session to an individual development plan. We work to build a strong, sustainable pitching motion, improve command, understand how each pitch moves, develop an effective arsenal, and teach pitchers why and when to use what they have.
Depending on the package, development continues between sessions through video analysis, assigned drills, coach communication, Command, and Pocket Pitcher.

Hitting development without the clutter
A swing is the result of a few parts of the body working together at the right time. My job is not to bury a hitter in terminology. It is to help those pieces work in harmony and develop a swing and approach the player can repeat.
I want hitters walking to the plate believing they can get a hit every time up—not because hitting is easy, but because preparation, repetition, skill, and confidence give them a reason to believe it.
Hitting · Fall 2026
The same three-tier structure, built specifically around how hitters learn, repeat, adjust, and gain confidence.

Two locations · one development system
Pitching and hitting packages are location-specific and are not split between Rochester and Augusta.
Flexible scheduling coordinated around athlete and coach availability.
Location details will be provided before the fall session begins.
Connected development
GupTech technology was built from the same teaching philosophy used in these sessions. Technology does not replace coaching. It helps connect practice, feedback, development history, and game performance.
Stay connected to assigned work, communication, reports, and development history away from the field.
For pitchers, turn game performance into information that can be studied and used in the development process.
Meet Coach Joshua Guptel
My coaching journey began in 2000 when my oldest son started playing tee ball. Since then, I have spent more than two decades working with players across multiple levels of baseball while continuing to study player development, analytics, and how athletes learn.
Whether we are working on the mound or in the box, I want athletes to understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how to identify what needs to change when something goes wrong.
