Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp
“Thank you for setting up this camp, I believe it was in my opinion one of the Top five that John has attended. It was very personal and informative, Brent and Ron were outstanding in there interaction with the young men! I even picked up a few things…. I want to thank you for throwing a good word in for John with Brent, these kids need guys like you Jim to help them achieve their dreams. So many just take the money and run and you don’t! I tip my hat my friend to you!”

Elite Pitcher’s Boot Camp
“Thanks for putting on such a fantastic camp. It was very well organized, and the wealth of information that Ron and Brent brought to the table was truly mind-boggling. It was definitely worth the long drive up to Santa Clarita (the drive home was actually a very quick 2 hours!!), and I know that Jonathan got a lot out of it. I’ve tried to teach him that pitching is really a life-long learning process, and that he needs to continually strive to expose himself to new ideas and techniques in order to keep growing as a pitcher. The Boot Camp this past weekend was the perfect example of that, and we’ve had a lot of conversations since we got home about all the things he learned. So it definitely had the desired impact!”

Testimonial from College
Training at TZAcademy has impacted my pitching career completely. Prior to connecting with Jim, I was a freshman at UC Irvine sitting only 80-83 mph. After tons of work, this soon translated to hitting over 90+ mph. Jim and Warren Bauer’s progressive training methods have truly helped me find my true potential. Not only have I seen an increase in my velocity, but there has been a significant positive impact on my arm health. Arm care is a top priority here at TZAcademy, while there is also an emphasis on strength and mobility. Jim and Warren’s knowledge and experience with biomechanics of the pitching delivery has helped me make adjustments to create efficient movement patterns. TZAcademy maintains an enthusiastic environment that propels each player to push beyond their limits. Jim has a passionate desire to see every one of his players reach their peak potential. My knowledge in the art of pitching has skyrocketed ever since I started training here. I know that if I ever need advice, I can 100% trust that I will get the best feedback. I would consider Jim Wagner & Warren Bauer the best in the business.

There’s not a more conscientious Pitching Instructor in Southern California. From his generous and supportive approach, to his relentless pursuit of the most cutting edge training and arm care protocols, Jim Wagner is exceptional in every way. He helped my son become a more athletic and explosive pitcher, all the while encouraging his love for the game. Beyond all of this, he gave my son a gift that transcends baseball. He taught him a work ethic. Jim Wagner gave my son an understanding of what is required for those who pursue excellence

My son Kody McLain is a HS senior RHP, he has been to multiple pitching coaches over the years. Jim Wagner & Warren Bauer were suggested to us by a pitching coach from a So. Cal college. This is the first one that made an immediate impact. When we first met Jim he did an overall review of my son's bodies limitations, capabilities & mechanics. Immediately body adjustments were required, TZAcademy emphasizes strength, explosiveness, speed, quickness arm care and velocity. The atmosphere is energetic with horns, beepers, bells, loud encouraging voices over the blaring on your toes music to keep motivation to strive for another personal record. In just a couple of months his fastball has increased 6 MPH . Jim is invested in his athletes helping him with the collegiate recruiting process. If you are looking for results for your dedicated pitcher to improve at any level TZAcademy in Santa Clarita is the place !!!
TZAcademy makes a difference !!!
