Pitching Coaches
Jeremiah was introduced to baseball at a very early age by his father. After graduating from Canal Winchester High School in Ohio, he pitched at The Ohio State University and at the University of Texas-Dallas. After college, he played professionally in the independent Pecos League and American Association. Shoulder and elbow surgeries stalled his playing career, which led to his passion for preventing arm injuries in pitchers. He specializes in throwing and pitching mechanics, and bases his methodology around the teachings of Nolan Ryan and Tom House.
Garrett played baseball for McAlester High School in Oklahoma as a starting left-handed pitcher. His team won state championships in 1998 and 2000. He was also a member of the 1999 AAU National Championship team. Garrett was drafted by the Anaheim Angels in the 11th round in 2000 but chose to attend Kansas State on a full baseball scholarship. He transferred to Grayson County Community College before finishing his collegiate career with the University of Oklahoma from '03-'05. While at OU, Garrett earned 2nd team Big 12 honors. He was drafted by the New York Yankees in 2005. During his rookie season in Staten Island, Garrett set a record for the most strikeouts while helping his team win the Penn League Championship in 2005. He continued to play with the Yankees organization until injury ended his baseball career in 2010.
Ryan is a local product out of Ft. Worth. He attended Trinity High School where he was a highly decorated baseball player. After high school, Ryan attended and played for NCTC and UTA. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and played for 5 years within the organization. Ryan now resides in North Richland Hills and has been instructing baseball for the last 10 years.

Mission StatementThe DALLAS NATIONALS BASEBALL CLUB mission is to prepare young men for the next level of competition both on and off the diamond. Our coaches and staff are selected specifically to improve baseball skills and knowledge; however, since there is more to life than baseball, we will also work to build character at every opportunity.While we definitely aren't the oldest program in the area, our staff is made up of the best coaches and instructors from all of the other organizations that got tired of seeing a tainted product on the diamond and decided to get together and build a program that was respected and produced. The Dallas Nationals coaching staff is committed to assisting each young man fulfill their baseball dreams and aspirations at each and every level of play from recreational to select, JV to varsity, or varsity to college. We are extremely proud to have many success stories at each level; even sending Dallas National athletes to college on scholarships to play baseball at the highest levels. Since most tournaments we enter will be played on weekends and we do not like for our families to choose between church and baseball, the Dallas Nationals will have optional devotionals on Sunday led by parents and staff. The devotionals are by no means a replacement to your current church home, but rather a viable option for praise and worship in order to create community within the organization and study the bible together. Bible study will be non-denominational, but Christ-centered.Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the program available through the DALLAS NATIONALS BASEBALL CLUB. We look forward to working with you toward your son's athletic goals and providing him the opportunity to succeed in our national pastime!
