INSTRUCTORS

OUR INSTRUCTORS

Lessons at Pinkman Academy are classified into “Pinkman” and “Academy” categories based on the needs of the student and the experience and education of the instructor. Read more about the differences in our Instruction section.

Except where noted (generally for pitching), all instructors work with both baseball and softball athletes.
