The TC Baseball Camp Series is designed to build deeper knowledge of the game’s fundamentals and to make players more confident and prepared. Tone, tempo and temperament are huge priorities, as our highest energy coaches will be shoulder-to-shoulder with players on the field to keep the process moving with purpose.
We focus directly on:
Catch and Throw – How to prepare to play catch with an infielder emphasis, keeping the ball moving, throwing from different arm angles, playing catch with a purpose other than getting loose.
Fielding – Pre-Pitch Routine, proper fielding posture, efficient footwork, fielding with rhythm, proper glove work, double play turns and feeds, technique for slow rollers.
Competition – Individual competition within groups, and group vs. group team contests

After finishing up his playing career, Gino started his own “Gino Grasso Pitching Academy” focusing on developing pitchers of all ages and abilities. He’s helped pitchers get to the next level through hard work, passion, and old school fundamentals. He not only focuses on fundamentals but the mental side of the game of how to be confident on the mound, and how to shut things out when things start to fall apart.
Aaron Martinez
Coaching Background: Aaron has a deep passion for baseball and has ever since he started playing the game. His coaching career started under the direction of E.J. Mapps at Pomona Sr. High School where he was an assistant coach at the varsity level for 3 years in total. While at Pomona he primarily worked with the outfielders and hitters. From Pomona, Aaron was the head assistant coach at Boulder High School where he spent a season alongside Colt Sedbrook. Under Sedbrook's direction, Aaron led the outfielders and catchers on the defensive side of the ball and baserunners on the offensive side. After Boulder, Aaron pursued a college coaching career which led him to McPherson College in McPherson, Kansas. His first semester Aaron was a volunteer assistant where he was the assistant recruiting coordinator and again worked with outfielders and catchers. His second semester saw a change in leadership at the head coaching position which moved Aaron into the first assistant and recruiting coordinator job. He stayed with the outfielders and catchers, as well as leading the baserunners. He would hold this same position heading into the next year. During February of 2016, due to unforeseen circumstances, the head coach at the time resigned from his position, thus moving Aaron into the Interim Head Coaching position. Under Aaron, the team had one of its most successful years to date setting multiple single season records such as, runs scored, fielding percentage, stolen bases, home runs and G.P.A. Unfortunately, McPherson decided to go another direction after the season which returned Aaron back to his roots here in Colorado. He helped out at Pomona again during the summer following and worked with Sedbrook again down at Gameday Baseball in Parker, Colorado that fall. Aaron has been providing private lessons for the community on the side since then to keep him involved in the game.
