About

Founder of CageList and MADE Baseball.

Baseball has been my life since I was nine years old.

I've played at every level: Little League, travel ball, high school, college and professional ball, in independent leagues across the United States, Mexico, the Czech Republic and Canada, plus a club season in Australia.

Frontier League All-Star and championship series MVP in 2007, a no-hitter in 2008, four championships, and one of two players in history to play pro ball after a total hip replacement, the other was Bo Jackson.

In 2024 I was pitching coach for the Savannah Bananas' Party Animals.

I coach hitting, pitching, infield, catching and baseball IQ, 8U through varsity. High standards, simple language, relentless positivity: my players know why they are doing what they are doing, so it holds up when I am not standing next to them.

Homeschool families: I coach Monday through Friday during the day at Swing Kingz. Tap Message to reach me directly if you have any further questions or you can book lessons directly based on my listed availability.

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac was awesome! He coached my 2 boys ages 11 and 8. The session was not rushed. He took the time to coach the kids and explain why it's important to have the appropriate mechanics, how to stretch to build strength and more that I couldn't explain here. The kids took to him instantly and were focused on Coach Isaac the entire session. The field we trained on was located in Sherman Oaks and we had ample space - no interruptions. Coach Isaac had all the appropriate equipment. We highly recommend Coach Isaac! We will definitely continue training with Coach Isaac.

    Coach Isaac is terrific. He easily connected with my 8 year old son, has fun catch phrases and exercises, and his knowledge of the game and the fundamentals is superb. Most importantly, his insistence on consistent work ethics paired with respect for yourself and your instructor serve up valuable life skills that transcend the sport training. Get MADE is the way to go.

    Testimonial from a past family

    I can’t say enough about Isaac. It takes more than just a ball player to teach. It requires patience and knowledge, but most of all trust. Issac is teaching our son the game of baseball but also instilling a love for the game that only comes when you “trust” the process. We trust Isaac and we look forward to working work with him for years to come!

    Testimonial from a past family

    My sons who is only 5 years old worked with Coach Isaac. The first intro lesson was great. My son really enjoyed the drills Coach Isaac taught him. The hardest thing thing is to be patient with young kids, Coach Isaac was very patient. My son is a lefty just like Coach, they both clicked right away, It must be a lefty thing. My sons throwing, catching and balance improved. We can’t wait to keep training with Isaac. Thank you for your knowledge, Coach. See you soon coach!

    Testimonial from a past family

    Our 7 year old son has been working out with Isaac for the past 3 months. We have seen a great improvement in Max’s throwing and fielding skills, which we initially asked Isaac to work on with our son. Isaac is also helping out with getting Max ready for his first season in kid pitch. We are really happy with Isaac and have gotten great results and our son is having a lot of fun!!! We would highly recommend Isaac!

    Coach Isaac was great! We came with an unorthodox request to improve our throwing and Coach Isaac didn't miss a beat in helping us with our request.

    Girodet

    Testimonial from a past family

    Our Tg, an 8 year old lefty, is in love w/ baseball and since working with him in just a short time, Coach Isaac has helped him tremendously. I have seen him develop his hitting, pitching, hand eye coordination, and more, with all of the drills he does with Tg. Coach also gives him homework and expresses the importance of taking the initiative to work on his own if he wants to succeed. This in turn has created some noticeable habits that I’ve seen Tg take up, and I’ve noticed a big increase in his confidence as well. Thanks Coach Isaac, we are glad we found you on CoachUp!!

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac is incredibly knowledgeable on skills, technique, and attitude. My 7 year old improved a lot after just one session. We plan on keeping the training up. he's very patient and creative with ways to get kids engaged. I'd highly recommend.

    Ryan

    Testimonial from a past family

    I came to Isaac as a 41 year old guy interested in working on my defensive skills for slow-pitch softball. Not his typical student. But he eagerly tailored our session to my needs, and armed me with some essential tools. Great guy, great spirit, great coach. Excited for another session.

  • D

    Darren

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac stepped right in and immediately made a strong impression on my 8 year-old son. I had been thinking about a private pitching lesson or two for my little left-hander. Once I saw that Isaac was a pitcher, was left-handed I decided to take the plunge. In 1 hour Coach Isaac accomplished more than our entire season of little league had. My son had such a great experience, he's already asking if he's seeing Coach Isaac this Sunday. We would, but it's Memorial Day weekend! FIVE STARS!

    Suzanne

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac fit alot in to the one hour session with my son! He clearly knows what he is doing and communicated well with my 11 year old. He even brought props to help teach some concepts! They did fielding, batting, pitching- my boy learned a bunch of great tips to carry with him and we are hoping to book more sessions soon!

  • J

    Jennifer

    Testimonial from a past family

    Training with Coach Isaac was everything I had hoped for and more! The combination of his calm demeanor, mastery of the subject matter, regimented training method and strength based teaching style produce an opportunity for growth that inspires you to work your hardest! He teaches skills from the bottom up- so you can understand and refine the body mechanics required to be the best ball player you can. I can't wait for my next training session!

    Coach Issac has a very unique style of coaching that kept our son’s attention! It’s obvious that he takes coaching seriously! Our son has been playing baseball since he was three years old and he is now twelve but he needs help fine tuning his skills! After the first session I’m confident that we found the right person to take our lefty to the next level of baseball!

    My 11 year old son had a great time with Coach Isaac. He said it felt like 10 minutes, and he wanted to keep going.

We are super happy with him and can’t wait to see him again!

    Coach Isaac knows how to train kids well. I saw a noticeable improvement in my 7yro after his first lesson. I was also able to observe him with an older boy (13yro) before our private lesson, and he was great with him too. I hope to have the opportunity to continue working with Coach Isaac for many years to come.

    My son really enjoys working with Coach Issac. He has great training methods & drills, a great attitude, and does a great of encouraging his players to embrace the mental component of the game and to “visualize success." Supports his sessions with helpful pictures and videos and homework assignments. Challenges my boy to get better, and my boy responds to his challenge. Great work.

  • P

    Paul

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac is great. The key for us is that the more we practice with him, and the more he gets to know us, the better his instruction gets. Coach has a sense of how my son will respond and adjusts accordingly and keeps it fun. Coach instills discipline in addition to skills. We're focusing on pitching/throwing.

  • C

    Alex

    Testimonial from a past family

    What an impact a couple sessions have made! My daughter has only had a few sessions with Isaac and her throwing, base running, and fielding techniques have improved a lot. However, her CONFIDENCE by far has improved the most. She’s more positive, optimistic, and can demonstrate good sportsmanship along with great leadership for her team. Isaac’s skills are priceless!

  • T

    TRacy

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac has been amazing. My son’s pitching has improved beyond expectations. His hitting has improved dramatically. I highly recommend Coach Isaac and will continue to have him coach my son as long as he plays baseball!

  • E

    Erikka

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac was super helpful. I asked for help with something a bit unusual - knife throwing rather than baseballs - and he took that in stride. He helped me learn good warm up and strengthening exercises for my arm and with just one session I learned a lot of ways I could improve how I take care of my arms for throwing. He also indicated willingness to work on figuring out good exercises and activities in future sessions. I thought this was really a good sign - having somebody be open minded and then also really great at teaching is a great combo and I recommend working with him if you can.

    Coach Isaac was great. Positive fun easy to work with. My kid had recently gotten in a little of a funk and needed a bit of a reset and new perspective. Isaac was easy to work with and my kid grabbed attention quickly and made the adjustments needed to get back on track. Would recommend.

    Coach Isaac has been great working with my two boys on their pitching at Extra Innings Training. Isaac is knowledgeable, patient, and great with them.

    Jade S.

    Testimonial from a past family

    My son had his first lesson with Issac and he was absolutely amazing! Before jumping into training, he took the time to get to know my son, asking what he already knew about baseball and what other sports he’s played. I really appreciated that he focused on building that connection first. He was so great with my son. My son has a lot of energy, and Issac did an incredible job keeping him engaged, teaching him, and making sure he was still having fun the entire time. My son had such a great experience and is already counting down the days until his next lesson with Issac!

    Testimonial from a past family

    Isaac is one of the best baseball coaches in the St. Cloud / Lake Nona area. My son trained with him through MADE Baseball and we had a great experience. He does an awesome job teaching fundamentals, baseball IQ, confidence, and the mental side of the game, not just mechanics. You can tell he genuinely cares about player development and building good habits the right way. Highly recommend MADE Baseball for private lessons and youth baseball training in Central Florida.

    Melissa T.

    Testimonial from a past family

    Coach Isaac transformed my 7 year old son's game almost instantly. My son started his season hitless for the first 5 games. But then we met Coach Isaac. Coach Isaac began first to build trust and to work on my son's confidence as a player. After just 1 session, my son started seeing the ball and getting hits because he believed that he could! We have continued to work with Coach Isaac, learning drills and improving skills, and my son is growing into a confident athlete who works hard, is proud of himself, and has fun, win or lose.

    Testimonial from a past family

    If you are looking to get your child a great head start in baseball, Made and coach Isaac and his team is the place to go. It's not just the skills, it's the basics that every ball player will need as they progress up the ranks from little league to All Stars to high school ball and beyond. My son has always had a blast at his camps and lessons with Made, and he can see the results of his hard work.

    Coach Isaac and his team are all incredible- my son has improved significantly in skill and in confidence in just three sessions this spring. While I have shoulder issues and can’t catch my 11yr old’s strong throws, and my husband travels and can’t always be here to practice, it is a godsend to have MADE coaches at the ready for positive baseball fundamentals. Thank you!

    Isaac has done a fantastic job with our 6-year old son even after just two lessons. Our son is much more confident playing Little League (even at this age there are some pretty advanced kids and it can be intimidating) and we now have easy ways to help him practice hitting, throwing, catching and baserunning. Isaac has a great report with kids and knows how to get them to engage, listen and improve. MADE baseball has been well worth the investment and we plan to keep going with the lessons.

    Coach Isaac is my son's coach. Hard stop. We knew nothing about baseball and when my son began excelling in rec, we knew we needed to learn fast. Isaac took my son (and us) under his wing. My son sees him regularly for private coaching. He coaches us on how to teach him fundamentals as well as keep the game fun. And every time there is no school, my son is begging us to go to camp or Hustle Ball. We drive from the Valley to Santa Monica because Isaac is worth it and my son doesn't respect anyone as much as he does the Coaches at Made.

    MADE Baseball has been a wonderful experience for my son Oliver. Their commitment to teaching professionalism; self-respect, self-discipline, and respect of others is a personal favorite. Their summer baseball camp and Hustle Ball are also fantastic, as well as the private lessons they offer. We just can't say enough about coach Isaac and his team of coaches. They are the best!!

    This is a great baseball organization for kids. The coaches are all enthusiastic and my child can't get enough! We've done lessons, camp days, and hustle ball. Coach Isaac and his team teach both baseball skills and great life lessons.

    My son is a senior in high school and has been struggling in some specific areas. After 3 sessions with Coach Isaac his hitting went to a new level. He increased his exit velocity by almost 10 mph, helped him with some stretching and fielding and gave him some very helpful advice on college recruiting. It can be scary going to someone new especially at the level my son is at, but it’s been amazing how much improvement there’s been in a short window of time.

    Isaac Hess is a real professional. He gives clear instruction and feedback. There is zero time wasted. My son comes back after every training having learned something new to improve his technique, speed and overall knowledge of the game. We always feel we have received true value for our money spent with him. I highly recommend Isaac Hess and MADE Baseball.

    My son 13 year old son has been working with Coach Isaac since spring. What I love about Isaac's approach is that he doesn't just teach the boys the physical skills of being a baseball player, but the mental side of the game as well. He wants the ball players he coaches to not just know the fundamentals, but to think like baseball players too. Every time we come to Isaac, my son learns something new while honing the skills he already has! He also has a very user friendly website for clients. Easy to book, change, and cancel lessons.

    We’re so happy to have found MADE Baseball, due to Covid our son did not play for two years and he needed to get back into the swing of things. Coach Isaac has helped him feel more confident and really knows how to work with kids. It’s been a great experience for us and scheduling and communication could not be any easier. We will definitely be continuing one on one lessons!

    Coach Issac really knew how to connect with my nine-year-old. He loved the first session and is excited every week. And we’ve learned so many technical skills and unique drills to practice. I’m sold on the MADE baseball approach and team.

    Coach Isaac is amazing! I have two boys 6 and 7 and have been going to coach Isaac for 6 months now. The incredible baseball instruction is only part of what we get. Coach Isaac teaches life lessons and discipline and helps the kids understand how to be better teammates and people. It has been such a great experience for our whole family.

    Coach Isaac’s principles are outstanding, messages are in alignment with those principles. He has an effective way of communicating to kids and our son really enjoyed baseball more because of him! He is a true coach and any kid would be lucky to have him as a mentor.

    Working with Coach Isaac virtually has really made a huge difference to still have baseball in my son’s life while we’ve been home with the season cancelled. We can’t thank him enough for inspiring our son and teaching him new things for his mindset and body, while keeping his dream of playing ball when he’s older alive!

    Would definitely recommend Coach Isaac! He emphasizes on the mental part of baseball during his practices and relates them to everyday life situations. I have watched my son become more aware of details during drills and have an understanding on what they are used for instead of just going through the motions. The positivity we get out of each practice is priceless. My son’s confidence and mental game has grown tremendously within the past few practices, we can’t wait to see what a couple months of lessons will do.

    MADE Baseball has been an awesome experience for our 2 boys (9 and 11). Isaac Hess runs a top private training program. From the first session Isaac engaged with our kids on a level that was motivating and empowering. Plus his program isn’t just about baseball skills but teaching kids how to show up- from a firm handshake, to dressing the part, to the proper way to take a knee when meeting with a coach. Top notch program!

    Isaac is amazing with the kids. Coached both my boys, ages 9 & 11. Improved their skills immensely. Taught them the importance of showing up with focus, poise, respect and pride. He's an awesome coach and a really great guy. Talented, understanding, encouraging, and cool. I recommend him 100%.

    We found Isaac through a parent on my son's baseball team. We cannot say enough. My son's skill level has had marked improvement since he began last season. Even better, his attitude and his role as a team player have been what we have appreciated most about what Coach has taught him. His respect for the game and confidence level has matured drastically since he began and those results have helped contribute to him making his majors all star team. See you soon coach, thank you!

    I was looking for a baseball training program for my 9 year old son when I found coach Isaac with MADE baseball and I couldn't be any happier to have found him. His mentorship and coaching for my son for over the last year has helped him develop not only as a player but as young man. We appreciate you coach! Keep doing what you do.

    Me being an athlete and trying a new sport it's very hard finding a coach that can push you and explain things in great detail. Coach issac is very professional and explains the game in great detail and brings a level of intensity that leaves you wanting more, him also being an athlete is a plus. I highly recommend him and he is hands down the best coach for this sport.

    Coach Isaac goes above and beyond for his clients every session. He will push you physically and mentally. No phoning it in here. You can always tell if someone is driven by profit or by passion. This man is passionate about his craft.

    My daughter worked with Coach Isaac on improving her fielding techniques this summer in preparation for the next high school softball season. Coach set a nice tone in the training sessions and my daughter was engaged, learned a lot from the sessions, and enjoyed the experience. Coach Isaac’s positive attitude, ability to effectively engage with young ball players, and his emphasis on fundamentals and approach to the game are what differentiate him from other trainers. I would recommend him to anyone looking to invest in quality training for their sons or daughters.

    Isaac is a great coach and he has focused mostly on teaching my son pitching mechanics. I've noticed not only my sons pitching improve within just a few sessions, but I've also seen him think quicker on his feet in his decision making in his last few games as well as have a more hustle and energy. Coach Isaac teaches my 10 year old to focus on his attitude and it has helped tremendously in his overall love for the game over the past few months as well. Thank you coach!

    I stumbled upon Made Baseball and Issac Hess and feel like I won the jackpot. Coach Issac is helping my son become a better baseball player not only physically but mentally. He teaches him how to be the best athlete (which I am already seeing in his games) but also teaching him respect and positive attitude. I love how Issac starts each lesson with a handshake and then gets down to business. When we get home from the field my son always asks me when is the next lesson with Coach Issac. He is exactly what we wanted when we were looking for that extra push for private coaching.

    MADE Baseball is exactly the type of mentorship and coaching I was looking for! The message is perfect for youth players and my son has responded to it so well. Coach Isaac truly cares about my son's mental and physical development and I'm so pleased with the experience thus far. Thanks coach! My boy is crushing the ball!! Love coach Isaac' s coaching style. Can't wait to schedule the next lesson!

    Made Baseball went beyond my expectations. My kid has not only received valuable skill and mechanic develop from Isaac, he has grown mentally and emotionally. Isaac is more the coach. He mentors my son to think positively, which is proving to pay dividends in his performance as both a player and a student. Definitely a worth while investment.

    Coach Isaac quickly introduced positive habits and details of the game to my 15 year old son that I have never encountered a coach doing before. His coaching style is unique. It resonates well with my son and has helped him develop a lot. Thanks coach.

New on CageList: Share to Instagram. Post a training photo to your CageLog once, then send it to your Instagram Story or feed in two taps. Your caption comes with it, and your CageList link is ready for a Story link sticker. Why we built it: coaches and players were posting the same session twice, once here and once on Instagram. Now it is one post. If a photo shows your kid, nothing leaves CageList until you turn on sharing in their player profile.

CageList 2.0 went live on July 2. Three months in, here is what is on it: 3,835 places to train, 213 backyard cages you can book by the hour, 1,623 teams and leagues, and 549 guides on building and running a cage. 1,123 players, parents and coaches have signed up so far. Built one feature at a time, one cage at a time. Got a cage in your backyard? List it. Looking for one? It is probably closer than you think.
