Our Coaches
Our coaches are current collegiate baseball players — not just instructors, but guys who live and breathe the game every day. That means coaching that’s fresh, relevant, and rooted in what actually works on today’s field. They bring up-to-the-minute techniques, situational know-how, and the kind of practice habits college programs demand.
Expect high-energy sessions packed with passion: drills that mimic real-game reps, candid feedback based on recent college play, and the intensity that only active competitors can provide. They connect with players through shared experience — showing how to read pitchers, refine swings for current pitching trends, sharpen defensive reads, and build the mental toughness coaches want at the next level.
In short: real players, real insight, real fire. Coaches who teach what’s working now and push kids to become better, smarter, and more confident ballplayers.

Head Coach 13UCatcher Coach 10U & 13U
Tavien Tigg
Assistant Coach 13U
Pitching Coach 10U &13U
He learned to love pitching under the hot lights of Smyrna High School, where he earned All‑District honors in 2021 and left as a kid who always wanted one more inning. That hunger carried him to Kentucky Wesleyan College, where he spent three seasons honing a pitcher’s craft at the Division II level, and later to UT Southern in the NAIA, where his arm and approach earned him SSAC Pitcher of the Week in 2025.
Since 2023 he’s channeled that on‑field experience into coaching, building a reputation for developing young arms the right way — smart, safe, and effective. Players come to him for velocity development, command and biomechanical tuning, and they stay because he pairs a clear, technical eye with a practical sense for what a pitcher needs day to day. The results show: healthier arms, harder throwers and pitchers who can find the glove when it matters.
He cut his teeth in competitive summer ball as the assistant and pitching coach for the Boro Rippers in 2025, helping steer the team to a runner‑up finish at the Net Elite Tournament. That stint reinforced his approach: teach solid mechanics, prioritize arm care, and push for measurable gains without shortcutting long‑term health.
What he brings to a mound session is equal parts teacher, technician and hype man. Expect a coach who breaks down mechanics with precision, programs workloads that protect the arm, and pushes pitchers to add speed and sharpen command — all while keeping the work fun and the goals crystal clear.
