    SHORTSTOP U

      

    Gary Patchett is a baseball coach, player-development leader, former professional player, scout, and minor league coach with more than 20 years of experience in the game. He currently serves as the Head Baseball Coach at Linfield Christian High School and is the owner of Patchett Pro Development/ShortstopU.


    Gary’s career has been built around developing complete baseball players, with a special focus on shortstop and infield development. His background as a professional player, coach, and scout gives him a unique understanding of what it takes to help athletes reach the next level. Through his work, Gary has helped guide and develop elite talent, including first-round draft picks and players pursuing college and professional opportunities.


    At the core of Gary’s coaching philosophy is relationship building. He believes player development starts with trust, communication, hard work, and a genuine commitment to helping each athlete grow on and off the field. Gary works closely with players, parents, and families to create a clear development plan, build confidence, sharpen skills, and prepare athletes for the demands of higher-level baseball.


    Through Patchett Pro Development/ShortstopU, Gary provides individualized training, mentorship, defensive development, baseball IQ, leadership growth, and college/pro pathway guidance. His mission is simple: develop complete players who compete, lead, and succeed.

    INFIELD TRAINING FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT

     

    What Parents Can Expect:

    • Strong Skill Development – We teach proper glove work, footwork, throwing accuracy, and decision-making to give players a solid foundation.
       
    • Game-Speed Practice – Players get high-quality repetitions that simulate real-game situations, building confidence and muscle memory.
       
    • Positive Environment – Small groups ensure personalized attention, encouragement, and growth for every athlete.
       
    • Life Lessons Through Baseball – Beyond skills, players learn discipline, focus, teamwork, and leadership — qualities that matter on and off the field.
       

    This program is more than just baseball training — it’s an opportunity for your child to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired while doing what they love.

    “Tailored Training for Homeschool Athletes Committed to Growth”

     

    Our Wednesday morning infield program is designed to complement the independent study lifestyle many homeschool athletes follow. This is not a school program — it’s specialized baseball training created to support players who want high-level instruction during flexible hours. 

     

    What Parents Can Expect:

    • Tailored for Independent Learners – Sessions are structured to fit into a homeschool routine, offering purposeful training without interfering with academics. 
    • Focused Skill Development – Instruction on glove work, footwork, throwing mechanics, and decision-making to build a strong defensive foundation. 
    • Game-Like Practice – Repetitions at game speed to help athletes develop confidence and instinct under pressure. 
    • Supportive Small-Group Environment – Personalized coaching in a positive setting where homeschool athletes can connect and grow. 
    • Character & Confidence – Training that emphasizes discipline, focus, teamwork, and leadership beyond the field.
       

    This program gives homeschool athletes the chance to sharpen their infield skills while reinforcing the values of hard work, independence, and self-motivation.
