The garage,
the coaches,
the work.

Andy played shortstop through Ellensburg High School before earning a spot at Central Washington University, where his coach moved him to center field — the team already had an All-American at short, and Andy's speed and arm were a better fit out there (2006–2008). Along the way he competed for the Columbia Basin Riverdogs and the Yakima Valley Pepsi Pak.

He started coaching while still in college — Ellensburg High School from 2008 to 2010, plus summer ball with the Cle Elum Lumberjacks. The last three years he's coached at Bonney Lake-Sumner Little League.

Andy's coaching philosophy is straightforward: build confidence, get consistent reps, and meet each kid where they actually are. Mental toughness gets equal weight — in a game where failing 60% of the time still makes you elite, the inside game matters as much as the swing.

What he loves most is the unlock moment — when a kid who didn't know what they should be doing suddenly feels what a great swing is supposed to feel like.

Dylan grew up in the South Bay of Los Angeles, deep in Southern California's competitive youth baseball scene. He played catcher, pitcher, and first base from 1994 to 2005 — Little League at Carson/Wilmington and Harbor City, one summer of travel ball with the Harbor Gateway Flames, and championship-winning Freshman and JV teams at Narbonne High School. A left-handed power hitter, he batted cleanup. Catcher was the first love — he liked leading the game from behind the plate.

He's coached for three years across four teams, all in the 4-to-8 age range — most recently the 2026 Tehaleh Padres.

Dylan's coaching philosophy starts with watching. "You can learn a lot about a player if you just watch." Coaching, he says, is understanding the kid in front of you and giving them what they need, the way they need it. Every lesson aims for four things: the kid had fun, they learned something new, they got better, they walked away more confident than when they showed up.

Baseball was the first thing Dylan was ever good at — and he learned it without the private lessons his family couldn't afford. GBB is how he gives that back, especially to families who'd otherwise be priced out.
