What Are They Saying?

“Coach Tyler is exactly what my son needed. While he has amazing team coaches, his confidence was lacking, and I knew he needed something more and Coach Tyler was the answer.
Coach doesn’t just have you pitch or hit for an hour, he takes his time, watches, talks, asks why, so he can properly teach you and he really gets to know and understand his athletes. Coach Tyler gets to know the person, the family and is just a great Baseball Mentor”. Michelle M

“Not only has my sons fundamentals improved, but his understanding to recognize mechanical mistakes and correct them on his own really stands out to me. Tyler really knows how to relate to his audience and teach in a way that any age group could understand. On a side note, the work he does for the community and local baseball programs in the area should not be overlooked!” Tony D

“My son has been going to Tyler at Up The Ranks Performance for about 5 years now. Since he has been going, my son has seen dramatic change and growth as not only a hitter but a fielder as well. Not only did Tyler work on my sons technique and mechanics, but also instilled confidence and made things fun while coaching him.

He is now a freshman in HS and trying out for his team. If it wasn't for Coach Tyler I'm not sure he would be where he is today”. Dave F

“Tyler focused on the basics, and I learned the mechanics of hitting while watching his lessons. I was able to give my son constructive feedback that both he and I understood. His hitting ability last season improved so much that he became one of the strongest, most consistent hitters on the team. And most importantly, he gained so much confidence that every time he stepped in the box, he was prepared and ready to go! Coach Tyler has a way with players where he brings out their best while instilling the basics needed for excellence. Best decision I made for my son!” Dino P


”I am glad we discovered Tyler, I just wish we had looked for him earlier in my son’s baseball playing career. The improvements in my son’s pitching and hitting is sooo noticeable. Previous coaches watching my son play come up to him after the game to talk to him about his improvement. That is what Tyler can do for your son”.

This is money and time well spent and I can’t recommend Tyler highly enough.
If you son wishes to improve aspects of his game - Tyler is the person to do it for you and your son”. Craig V

“Tyler truly cares about his students and has an ability to connect with them at many levels. Our son’s pitching has significantly improved through Tyler’s coaching not only with the mechanics but the mental game as well. But what truly sets Tyler apart from other instructors is his passion and care for the students. We send Tyler our son’s pitching stats after each game at anytime of the day or night. He responds instantly with feedback and encouragement. Tyler is one of the best and we are glad that our son has had an opportunity to learn from him”. Wendy W

“My son has been working with Coach Tyler for the last few months. With his coaching and training, my son was able to make his high school’s baseball team. What we love about Tyler is the time he takes to ‘explain’ and ‘talk’ to our son about any adjustments he asks him to make. He doesn’t just ‘show’ him. He takes the time with each student and doesn’t rush. He always wants the best for his students; he truly cares about their success. My son’s hitting has improved tremendously over the last several months he’s been contributing consistently to his team’s success. We will definitely continue to work with Tyler in the future as our son works up the high school ranks”. Eva C

“My son has been working with Coach Tyler for the past year and we couldn’t be happier with the progress. At age 9, Jude is headstrong but still self-conscious but Tyler does a great job of balancing critique and knowledge with his lessons where he actually gets him to listen and apply what he’s learning without feeling defeated. We’ve had parents, coaches and other players comment on the improvement they’ve seen with Judes pitching and batting.

Not only have I had the opportunity to work with Tyler on a personal level but I had the opportunity to organize a camp for our local little league teams here at Northern Lehigh. Tyler was very responsive and flexible, meeting the needs of our organization and creating a camp that challenged the skills of a variety of players. The kids absolutely had a blast. We will definitely be planning similar events in the future! I can’t say enough about Tyler and Up The Ranks Performance. For anyone just researching options for their child, it’s definitely worth it!” Kristal K

“My son has been playing for and working on his baseball skills with Coach Tyler for the past 4 years. He has played at a very high level of baseball and has had tremendous success both on the 'bump' and at the plate. He's had the opportunity to play at national tournaments and been contacted by several D1 and D2 college programs. Tyler brings enthusiasm, dedication and a work ethic that prepares his players to play at the highest level possible. He cares about his players both on and off the field and has had a huge positive impact on my son's life”. Carol T

“Our 10 year old son has been working with Coach Ty on improving his pitching skills for a few months. His progressive and outside of the box style of coaching is noticeable in our son's new found confidence on the ball field. Coach Ty works on building relationships and holding his players accountable. He gives the players long term and short term goals to work on at home so that player, parent(s), and coach are all working in unison.
In addition to attending private lessons, our son attended several local summer baseball camps. When I asked which one was his favorite? Our son's response without hesitation was "Up the Ranks" because he felt challenged and he believed he learned the most because each player received individual attention in addition to the group skills.
If you are looking for someone to take your player to the next level, look no further”. Barbara R

“Tyler is energetic, knowledgeable & has such passion in his coaching skills. He is not only informative to the player, but he also gives feed back to the parent/guardian, which we LOVE! This allows us to build on what he learns at his lessons, when we practice at home. We have watched our son grow, improve and fine tune his baseball skills. Our son said, “he teaches me a lot and I have fun while learning” and I could not agree more. Thank you, Tyler! You have made such an impact in our sons baseball journey! Stephanie G

“My son has worked with Tyler for over two years. Finding Tyler was the best thing that could have happened to my son. We found Tyler when my son needed support, encouragement, and positive coaching the most. He brought back the love of baseball and hard work to my son. He’s not just a wonderful coach that shows a true interest in my son’s progress, he’s a mentor that my son can look up to for positive feedback and a can do attitude. He’s always available and flexible with our schedule. His lessons are broken down step by step and he explains everything and why it’s important. My son’s pitching mechanics have improved tremendously. As you can tell, I cannot say enough about Tyler!!!” Courtney S

“My son has excelled with the assistance of Tyler and his commitment to growing the player in all aspects of his life”. Scott D
