The Complete Athlete Program

Two coaches.
One plan.

Skill work alone won't do it. A player who wants to hit harder, throw harder, and stay healthy has to get stronger too. So every plan pairs baseball training with Coach Jorge and strength training at Redline Athletics or TrainX Wellness.

Strong roots.
Steady growth.
Lasting performance.

A Bat & Root player on the field Southern Orange County

Bat & Root is a performance training program dedicated to developing athletes who are disciplined, confident, and grounded — both on and off the field.

Founded by Coach Jorge, Bat & Root blends the technical precision of baseball instruction with mindful movement, breathwork, and body awareness. We believe athletic success starts from the ground up — through awareness, repetition, and presence.

Our mission is simple: to help every player strengthen their foundation — their roots — so they can rise into their full potential.

The discipline you build at dawn becomes the man you carry into the rest of your life.
— Coach Jorge

From the Families

In their words.

Shy and nervous at the plate
My son was selected for an all star game… When it was his turn to bat he came in very relaxed, took a few moments to breathe, did not look back at the crowd, took his pitches and was walked. After that, he stole 2B, 3B and easily scored a run.

After several hitting coaches
Where Coach Jorge stands out is his ability to introduce the act of confidently working through challenges… He is helping to create better baseball players but also helping to create better young men after baseball ceases.

A Note to Parents
We are not building baseball players.
We are building men who happen to play baseball.
