We focus on what matters: A solid foundation in proper mechanics, forging elite baseball mindsets and future leaders.

Together with my wife, Christa, I founded Core Baseball with a simple purpose: to create a place where players receive elite instruction in a one-on-one setting, without the pressure of fees or memberships—just honest coaching, personal attention, and a true focus on development. Core Baseball is committed to providing exclusive private instruction while instilling strong fundamentals, a solid mindset, and passion for the game. 

Our training facility is small on purpose.

To ensure a safe and effective training environment with limited distractions and to provide the exclusive training we take pride in, our facility is designed to make you feel at home while also being equipped with top of the line training tools. We train with premium equipment, including Tanner Tees, Total Control weighted balls as well as our own FiveSpot pitch recognition tool. Our Hack Attack pitching machine uses real baseballs (no dimple balls) and allows pitches to be customized for each player with speed, pitch type and the ability to be paused on demand to re-set or correct a swing with feedback and instruction. We have a dedicated space for strength training and arm care as well as a Pocket Radar station to monitor arm health and track development.

 More than just training.

We’re here to guide, encourage, and help players become their best, both on and off the field. With firsthand experience as a player, coach, and parents, we understand what truly matters—and what families need—as they navigate the journey of youth baseball. We respect and understand that families lead busy lives and aim to make their time with us efficient, positive and enjoyable.

What sets us apart.

We keep things simple: no facility fees, no monthly in-house memberships and we take the extra time to schedule all private and small group sessions one-on-one directly with me, Coach Ivan. It’s important to us that you always have a direct line of communication with us.

Our mission is to help every athlete reach their full potential - on and off the field. Follow along with us on Instagram @corebaseball.oc for the most up to date information on up coming events, updates and clinics.
