Through the understanding of the importance of athleticism behind the plate, Coach Jason creates a plan to improve deficiencies and exploit strengths, all while improving pure athleticism behind the plate. Whether improving receiving skills, throwing more runners out, or any other improvement to my game, BackStopU creates challenging environments to not only improve skills but make sure they transfer onto the field. The knowledge I have gained from Jason and BackStopU has allowed me to become my own coach and make adjustments to any challenges that arise. BackStopU is the place for any catcher who truly wants to get the most out of their potential behind the plate and gain the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to catch at the highest levels.
VeloU and BackStopU are top-notch! The facility, equipment, and coaching expertise are unmatched. I've made significant progress in on-field performance, strength, and agility. I began training with them when I tore my UCL as a catcher my senior year of college at Bryant University. Since then my arm has never felt healthier. I have also thrown harder than I ever have at 86mph on a throwdown. Mentally, I've grown as an athlete too. The professional coaches are incredibly supportive, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. BackStopU has transformed my defensive skills, particularly in receiving and blocking. For catchers aiming to elevate their game, BackStopU is the place to be. I highly recommend BackStopU for anyone serious about taking their game to the collegiate or pro level!
Jason Agresti, head of BackstopU and coincidentally my brother, teaches us catchers to be our own coaches and self evaluate. The environment Jason creates allows a catcher to challenge themselves to become the best version of themselves behind the dish they can be. Not many other catching programs can say they are led by a catcher that has accumulated as much knowledge as Jason has over the years. From playing collegiate baseball to playing professional for 6 years, Jason has lived through all the challenges a catcher will face allowing him to efficiently teach catchers how to be their own best coach. I would recommend BackstopU to anyone who wants to level up their game behind the dish because their not only getting the best training but they are getting a great person in their corner who wants them to become the best version of themselves.
