My sons (10 and 13yrs) did pitching and hitting lessons with Coach Darren. Coach Darren certainly knows how to break down mechanics in a way that young players can understand and obtain. He can quickly identify their issues and comes up with effective drills and techniques to address them. He knows pitching and hitting mechanics equally well. Excellent coach and highly recommend him.

KC Neverdahl

Scott is by far the best, highly recommend!!

Jessica O'Bryan

My daughter, Sophia, absolutely loves it here! Rafael gives my daughter great advice and gives her the confidence she needs! Thank you for your time! We truly appreciate it!

Scott and his staff have worked with my older son 13u through D1Juco / D1 NCAA college baseball. Scotts knowledge of baseball is unmatched . He posseses this ability to successfully teach young players the basic fundamental building blocks that necessary to become a solid player ! At the same time he instilled higher level insight that allowed my son ( and many others) to become a player who was able to sominate the game in high school and college baseball.
That was 13 years ago when he started working with Cyrus. Now hes working with my youngest son and to my surprise his instruction has evolved even further . I cant say enough about Scott and his love for the game, the process and the players . Every minute we have invested with him has been well worth the results, both physically as well as his mental approach he teaches the player/students.
Scott Hemmond is a home run for your players development !

Hands down the best money we’ve ever spent for our son! Hemo and his entire staff have gone above and beyond to help our son excel. We started with lessons in February 2024 and our weekly visits have quickly become my son’s favorite thing to do. It goes way past the skills and fundamentals… the confidence that hemo has instilled in him is something we never thought possible. If I could give 100 stars, I would. Hemo is more than just a trainer, he’s family at this point. As parents we would make this decision for our son over and over again

Jason Knight

We are fortunate to have Hemo and his staff as part of our community. My almost 9 year old has been working with them regularly for about a year, privately for about 6 months (primarily with Coach Rafael). The entire staff has always exceeded expectations whether in small group sessions or privately. They all are passionate about the kids and vests themselves in their progress and successes. Highly recommend Scott, Rafie and Darren to anyone who is serious about the game.

Mark McCann

Top-notch Instruction! No wasted time as Hemo fills the time slot with constant activity and individual reps. High energy and positivity. Highly recommend Hemond School of Baseball!!

Joshua Livingston

Coach Rafael has been so good with our son. He loves baseball and its contagious. We appreciate all the knowledge he has imparted with our little man. Thanks, look forward to growing together.

Joey Watson

My son 15 years old plays High school baseball, at this stage most baseball players decide not to continue because of many issues being coaches negativity or playing time. This is a turning point for most young players . I am happy that we found Coach Hammond his positive attitude has restored my son’s confidence and all he wants to do now is practice and get a chance to play. Thank you Coach for the instruction and the Positive feedback you gave to him. We are now looking forward to the future Baseball.

Rick Miller

My oldest son Zack Miller trained with and played for Scott. Amazing experience. We traveled weekly from Panama City and would do it all over again. Hemo gets the game and shares his crazy energy and enthusiasm with any that want to put Iin the work.

My son has been attending Scott's (Hemo) clinics weekly for about 2 months. The very first lesson he and his team were able to pinpoint exactly what my son was doing wrong unlike any of his previous travel ball coaches. He is knowledgable in what to do to fix the problem and has come up with his own creative drills for your player to work on. He is very passionate about training, so much that he has worked with my son beyond the clinic's normal set end times on several different occasions. We are very grateful for this as nowadays everyone seems to be all about the money. His rates are very affordable too and we will be moving forward with his personal training sessions soon. If you are looking for real development in your player these are the people to go see on a regular basis. We will not go anywhere else. Thanks Scott and team!

Charles Burdette

I came in to get some work in having never visited before. I was treated like a friend and got some very good instruction and personal attention that I can take with me. I wish I had access to this baseball academy in my hometown. Excellent!!! Thanks guys! Brooks Burdette

Emilee Cooley

Visiting for summer vacation and we scheduled a lesson for my son. Scott was extremely nice and professional. So much knowledge and different ways to approach things. Overall outstanding experience and we hope to get lessons everytine we visit!

Jimmy Rowe

Enjoyed our time using the facility while on vacation. Scott and Rafael were very helpful on site and Lisa returned my call promptly to get us in. Highly recommend scheduling a session.

Cindy Clemson

Brandon Agar

Such a great experience. The most accommodating team and we had such a great experience.

Blain Blaylock

Traveling from Oklahoma, this place was great! We just purchased a cage session. Owner and other instructors jumped in to help with our session couldn’t have found a better place to get our reps in!

James Thomas

Great workout, he broke my son’s swing down and helped him put it back together properly. Looked great by the end of the lesson and used some drills we had not seen before. We will definitely be back.

Ryan M

Accommodated our team last minute. Super friendly

Jackson Fayne

Great lessons. Super passionate staff. You can tell they legitimately love to coach baseball. They don’t accept “ok”. The whole staff was constantly looking for perfection, not just “good enough”.

Mark Jordan

We called around trying to find cages to keep my son sharp thru his summer vacation. Scott was kind enough to rush up and open up for us on a last minute call. we just wanted to rent a cage and get some live looks off the machine. Scott while working kept an eye on the boys while they were hitting. At the end of the session Scott pulls the boys aside, points out a few flaws in their swing and then gives them some lessons and drills to take home, We didn’t sign up for lessons yet he was kind enough to work with them. By FAR the best coaching they have ever gotten in just a few minutes!! Highly recommend

Josh Wallace

My son was having to miss a week of all-star practice due to our family vacation, so I was looking for a place we could get some reps just to stay sharp, but we got way more than that. We found SHB and did a 1-hour cage rental two different days. The first day, it was just us and Coach Hemond there. He took it upon himself to get to know my son and essentially gave him a fielding and hitting lesson before the cage rental even started. The instruction was phenomenal! Coach has a way of breaking it down and explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. We never felt rushed to get in and get out either day we were there. You can tell Coach Hemond and the people there love the game and it's more than just a business. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back next year!

Giselle Brantley

Very good class. Will be back

Dawn Lipker

Great camp experience! Hemo & the other coaches had a good mix of baseball, kickball, football & wiffle ball to keep the kids entertained while learning baseball skills. 5 outta 5!

Ryan Casey

Visiting the area for the week and wanted to hit some balls prior to playing a mens league hame tomorrow… Found this gem. Scott and his team are incredibly smart, and extremely helpful. I booked 30 minutes but quickly realized I wanted to hear their instruction and use their facility for an additional 30. Scott offered some high level advice and Dominic (local HS ballplayer) worked drills with me for the majority of the hour. 35 yrs old and this is the first hitting lesson Ive had (only wanted 30 mins in the cage at first, but they wanted to teach so I was all ears!), and I left there hitting far more barrels than I could’ve on my own. Great team, real professional, old school feel to the place that deserves a seat at the highest levels of baseball instruction.

Barton Cooper

Great place to get any baseball training. If you're looking to get enhanced training or just touch up some of your techniques this is the place to go. We ran into Scott by accident at a local highschool baseball game and my son started the next week. Regardless of your position you can learn and improve by coming to this baseball facility.

Justin Yarnell

We had a great experience at SHB! We were in town for just a week. I wanted to get my son some batting practice so we reserved a cage for an hour. We ended up getting a lot more than that after one of the owners offered him a few pointers on both his batting and his pitching. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

Travis Whitney

I’m gonna go into a bit of detail cause I think it’s important over a generic review. So far it’s been great, I’ve had 2 sessions with Raphael “Raffy”.

I'm on vacation from Phoenix where I play in a men’s league. Since starting to play ball again at 40yo, and after over 20 years without playing, I was rusty. While working out on my own I’ve also done a few different coaches/training. A couple were ok, mostly just small changes, try this and try that. I never really “felt” much of a difference. The most significant in terms of cost and commitment was Driveline.

Driveline is well known for their high-tech approach, and for training some professional athletes in the off-season. It costs around $6k for a year to do the hitting and pitching. I don’t want to come across as bashing Driveline, they’re a good facility. But 2 hours with Raffy was more rewarding than 2 months at Driveline.

Admittedly I couldn’t commit to a full year at driveline due to change in my career and starting a family. However when contacting them to see if I could continue they were lackluster and never got back to me. I think for that kind of money they should have better customer service.

Raffy worked on so many mechanics. I could feel the immediate changes on how I was making contact with the ball. It was noticeable throughout the whole session. Other training, including Driveline, was just taking a lot of swings. There was little work on mechanics. The attention to detail was 10x better than more expensive programs I’ve used.

I can wholly endorse working with Raffy after 2 visits. Excited to put what I’ve learned to work in games. He even helped with some fielding and pitching drills.

Scott Hemond Baseball brought it again this week!! Hemo’s attention to detail in all facets of the game really sets the bar high compared to other area programs. Unbelievable energy and enthusiasm for teaching the game of baseball in a manner that relates well to the various youth age groups. Hemo doesn’t punch a time clock…he teaches for as long as it takes. Best value/return on your investment!

Excellent place for kids to train and learn new baseball techniques and strategies ⚾️my son loves it

Christopher Lastrapes

While visiting family nearby, I wanted to get my 7-year-old son some help with his baseball game. I found this place and got an hour lesson on a whim. Rafael was so great with my son and helped him improve so much that I booked another session later in the week. Rafael seems so great with kids and helps instill a love of the game, while also helping them learn and grow. I just wished we lived nearby so we could go on a regular basis!

We were in town for the week and had the chance to work with Scott a few times. Scott was so great with my son. He went the extra mile and the level of instruction and information was top notch. We'll definitely be back.

Alexis Johnson

Both my 17 year old son and my 11 year old daughter train here. My son started when he was 10. The staff are all great with kids. They expect you to work hard. The coaches are more than qualified and know how to explain technique. We are blessed to have Scott, his staff and this facility so close.
