Between hitting a fastball, reaching the base safely or fielding a ball and making the right play, consistency is just the beginning of the battle. RSB gets ballplayers laser-focused on the simple actions that create big reactions through the use of comprehensive coaching And revolutionary technology. You’ll find our athletes developing the skills of the game through an individualized roadmap, while gaining a mental edge for the field, not talking just talking about it.

ADDITIONAL TESTIMONIALS
Working with Rick and his staff has been amazing. The program is broken down into steps that will guide you through the process of developing an elite swing. When you combine that with his knowledge of how to apply technology this program is a must for any aspiring player.

From the time I started with Rick every aspect of my swing has improved…plate coverage, power, consistency…I have never been around baseball technology before, and honestly thought it was kind of stupid, until I learned how to use it and it has been a tremendous asset. I looked forward to everyday I got to come hit and learn.
Rafael Lopez
C, San Diego Padres
The highlight of my offseason is working with Rick to refine my swing and make sure it is efficient. I have seen firsthand the impact he can have on a player’s career. After struggling in low A and high A my first two seasons in the minor leagues I started working with Rick and the next year I was promoted to AA after a successful spring training.
