Coach Rob "Pottsy" Potts runs Ambush Baseball out of All-Star Baseball in Cherry Hill, located in the All-star/Scanzano facility. As a retired Phillies batting practice coach, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to every lesson.
What sets Pottsy apart is his focus on developing complete hitters rather than simply providing repetitions. He places a heavy emphasis on proper plate approach, hand positioning, footwork, and overall hitting mechanics. During a typical 30-minute session, a player may only take 15–20 swings because he refuses to move forward until the fundamentals are correct. Every swing has a purpose.
His instruction goes far beyond mechanics. Pottsy does an excellent job preparing younger players for the transition to the big field, helping them understand not only how to hit, but why they are making certain adjustments. He also spends considerable time on the mental side of hitting. Some sessions may include 10–15 minutes of discussion and teaching, but those conversations are often just as valuable as the swings themselves.
He is a true quality-over-quantity instructor and frequently has players record portions of their lessons so they can review the concepts later and continue learning between sessions.
Most importantly, Pottsy genuinely cares about the success and development of his players. His passion for teaching and commitment to helping hitters improve is evident in every lesson. In my experience, it's rare to find a coach who is as invested in his players' growth both on and off the field as he is.
