Testimonials

Our son has gone to Barrel Nation for a few years now, he started when he was 8 and is now 11, and he loves it! He started out with Coach Tony and loved him, when he retired we were nervous because our son takes time to warm up to people but when Coach Ryan started at Barrel Nation it was like it was meant to be for Clyde. Coach Ryan had Clyde talking and comfortable so quickly. Clyde has more confidence, really wants to put in the work between lessons and has learned so much from Ryan. Because Ryan knows how to explain where he sees a hitter needs improvement so well, Clyde has been able to translate that into paying attention when he is at bat and he now immediately knows what he needs to fix or work on. I can’t say enough about the amazing service that Joey has created for our community because you walk in and feel like you are part of the Barrel Nation family. Barrel Nation gave our boy his nickname and has helped him set goals for himself in baseball and in life. If you are on the fence about checking out what they have to offer your young ball player, I highly recommend checking them out!

My son, Jaxson, has been working with Coach Mike for over a year now. He was a pretty good all around player, but struggled a bit at the plate. He needed someone who could work with him one and one and offer corrections in real time. After just a few weeks, he was getting his confidence back and by the next season, everyone noticed his improvement. He is continuing to improve and working hard during his sessions. Coach Mike, and all the coaches at Barrel Nation, are the types of mentors our youth need. I 1000% recommend BN. It really is great place to bring your players!

Coach Ryan Brown is a shining example of what it means to be a transformative coach. Through his meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for his players’ well-being, he has helped my sons, Michael and Jackson Forney, flourish both on and off the field. His guidance has not only improved their hitting skills, but also instilled in them the confidence and resilience necessary to excel in all aspects of life. Coach Ryan is a beacon of positivity and a true game-changer. I highly recommend this man to inspire your child to reach their full potential and beyond! He will motivate and push them to achieve greatness!

Ever since my first lesson at Barrel Nation, it was made apparent that Coach Ryan would be more than just my hitting coach. He has always been a guy that I can look up to and talk to whenever I am struggling. No matter how discouraged I become, he is always willing to motivate me to keep going. He has tremendously helped me out in every single aspect of baseball, especially helping me to gain confidence and strengthen my mental aspect on the game. He’s the kind of guy you can talk to for such a little amount of time , and always learn something from it. Whether we’re talking about baseball bat bros, or how much the Yankees choked, conversations with coach Ryan are always a blast. We have made so much progress, and I wouldn’t trade my baseball journey with Coach Ryan for anything. I can’t wait to continue developing with him. Shout out to Coach Joey for hiring the best hitting coach in the world.

I started hitting at Barrel Nation around a year ago, and since then, I have made jumps that have built me into the hitter I am now. I found myself able to make changes to my swing that would lead me to having my best spring season yet. Not only having Barrel Nation give me instruction with hitting, they have also given me opportunity to help others. Working camps with my teammates is something I can look back at and be proud of. Being able to give younger players some guidance brings me back to when I was in the same position. I remember taking in all the information I could from people I looked up to who would take the time to work with me. Watching Barrel Nation grow even larger is what it’s all about. Walking in the facility and seeing new equipment and hearing about things to come always reminded me how special it really is to be a part of the family. The connections and relationships that I have built through Barrel Nation along with the strides I have made as a player leave me more than thankful for what they have done.
