Why the academy exists
He built the room he wished he had.
A team practice has twenty players and forty-five minutes. Lou opened the academy in 2000 to teach the way he was taught in the cage: one player at a time, with enough reps to change something.
“Lou is the go-to baseball instructor in Bergen County. His knowledge, experience, and respect for the game are unmatched.”Mike Sheppard Jr., Seton Hall Prep
