Our Mission: Combatting Youth Burnout Through Real Development. The statistics are clear: many young athletes burn out by age 13 or 14 due to over-scheduling and excessive travel game play. To protect our athletes and maximize their potential, Michael has established a philosophy that prioritizes long-term training and practice over the sheer quantity of games played. The Reds began this season as a single-team initiative. Today, we are proud to see our vision translate into a thriving, successful development program that equips players with the mental and physical tools they need to succeed at the next level.

Assistant Coach/Sean Cogman:
I began playing baseball at age three, starting with Ladera Little League and later playing for Culver City Babe Ruth. I spent two years at Hart High School in Valencia, where I played alongside Trevor Bauer, Mike Montgomery, Patrick Valaika, and Tyler Glasnow, before transferring to Culver High for my final two years. During my senior season, we advanced to the semifinals.
I also played briefly at West Los Angeles College before focusing exclusively on football. I earned a football scholarship to the University of West Alabama, where I played alongside Malcolm Butler and Tyreek Hill.
As a coach, I have worked with Westchester Little League, Pan Pacific, Ladera, Baldwin Hills, Top Level, and Westchester High School. These experiences have allowed me to develop players at multiple levels while emphasizing fundamentals, discipline, teamwork, and player development.
