” When we met DJ online we were very skeptical but it was the best money we ever spent. My son has a coach that holds him accountable, helped him learn how to communicate with coaches, and even become tougher mentally. We had no offers and not even a peep from college coaches but after just 4 weeks with DJ we started getting attention and the recruited by various programs. He was there until the end to help us with all aspects until the end relieving us of alot of stress. He is worth every penny!”
“Coach Santiago has a tremendous approach to an undervalued piece of the college search and application process. He makes an active effort to inform families about the process of college “placement” as opposed to college “recruitment.” Student athletes truly need the education to decide where they can not only continue in athletics, but also grow socially and intellectually. More importantly, Coach Santiago trains student athletes to take control of their own process and find the right fit. He holds them accountable for their actions, and inaction, and challenges them to push beyond their comfort zone, just like any good coach does.”
DJ was instrumental in me starting the online business. With his help I was able to make the same amount of money as an entrepreneur as I did in my real life job! He has great feel for the market place and what consumers want. Not only is a great person and friend, he is great at business. Without hesitation I would recommend DJ

“We were fortunate to meet DJ when my Son was 12. Our Family was new to travel baseball and needed help evaluating if we wanted to start playing travelball. DJ helped us thru the decision making process and decide if it would be a fit for our Son. DJ’s experience and knowledge was evident as we asked many questions to educate ourselves”

I have worked with DJ and his team on a number of business projects pertaining to sports both as an MLB Scout and now as President of Pivotal Sports Management. His attention to detail and due diligence is second to none and he has an uncanny way of looking at a situation, dissecting it and making it work for that particular entity. DJ’s experience both on the field as a former professional baseball player and as a coach coupled with his extensive experience running travel baseball organizations, tournaments and events make him the ideal consultant for those looking to enter the sports business world or take it to the next level and achieve success from the outset,

DJ,
Thanks for your help in getting my baseball facility established. I was surprised by your hands on approach. Originally I thought the consultation was by phone. Your willingness to travel to Michigan and review our operation firsthand was needed, appreciated and cost effective.
Your expertise saved my sports facility time, labor and thousands of dollars in unnecessary expense. The contacts you shared with us were amazing.
Currently we are in the process of implementing your suggestions regarding programming, equipment, vendors and additional business opportunities. Once we finish the goals we set, we look forward to your return.
Thanks for everything and call us if you think of anything else,

After just one hitting lesson with Coach DJ there was an immediate improvement in my son’s batting, both mentally and physically. Coach DJ has a great knowledge of baseball and more importantly, is able to convey and teach the intricacies of the game to children in an effective and positive manner. I only wished I had begun private instruction sooner!
Proud Parent of Player
I had the opportunity to be mentored by Coach Santiago for my first four years in the baseball business. My on the field knowledge grew ten fold through my time with him, however what has proven to be invaluable is the knowledge he passed onto me which has helped me to build a sustainable baseball business in this always evolving baseball market. Without his guidance I would have remained stagnant and making the same mistakes over and over again. He truly understands this business from top to bottom and anyone who spends time with him will learn that very quickly and see immediate success and growth.Ryan FranksFranks Baseball TrainingCleveland, Ohio
