Micah von
ATLANTA BRAVES SCOUT TEAM
The Baseball Lab has been an invaluable part of my son Micah’s development, not only as he prepared for his freshman season of high school baseball, but also as part of off-season work for travel ball with Atlanta Braves Scout. The Baseball Lab's expert coaching staff and advanced use of technology have helped him grow as an athlete, ensuring he is strong, healthy, and ready to compete with older and bigger players.
One of the biggest advantages of training at The Baseball Lab is the personalized approach of the coaching staff. Coach Rob has been instrumental in Micah’s progress, providing tailored instruction that refines his skills while also boosting his confidence. His attention to detail and ability to connect with athletes make every session productive and motivating.
Coach CJ has played a crucial role in balancing Micah’s strength training and recovery. He understands the demands of high school baseball and has designed a program that builds power without overtraining. This has helped Micah become stronger and more explosive while staying fresh and injury-free.
Coach Lane’s oversight of arm care and development has been another key factor in Micah’s preparation. With high school baseball requiring increased throwing volume, his guidance has helped Micah maintain arm health while improving velocity and accuracy.
Beyond coaching, The Baseball Lab’s extensive use of technology allows for precise assessment of Micah’s physical capabilities. By tracking his progress and identifying weaknesses, they provide data-driven solutions for continuous improvement.
Thanks to The Baseball Lab, Micah is stepping into his freshman season stronger, healthier, and more prepared than ever. Their combination of expert coaching and cutting-edge technology makes them an exceptional resource for any serious baseball player.

“My son and I were looking to increase his outfield velocity which was at the time 80 mph. We were referred to Rob and the Baseball Lab from a client that my son’s hitting coach had. We took his word, and we are elated that we did! The Baseball Lab put my son on a throwing program and within 2-3 weeks he was up to 87 mph! I cannot thank the Baseball Lab enough! My son still has goals of hitting that 90 plus, so we will definitely be sticking with the Baseball Lab and their program!!”

“We found the Baseball Lab through our experience with team play at Ninth Inning Baseball. Our son is primarily a catcher who we struggle to get OUT from behind the plate, because he loves it so much. He got his intro to the Baseball Lab through the El Dojo program with David Sopilka where the quick growth we saw was so great, we as a family were left wondering what more might be available to our eager child? From there, we met with coaches Rob Iglesias, Lane Miller, and CJ Kachmar to create a plan for our son that could further develop his strength and agility. Again, huge strides were made in short order. But, in the process of "doing the work," coaches Rob and Lane observed areas for improvement my son could make in his arm development. At this point, we'd seen such exponential growth in our son, why not continue to trust these guys who, very visually, make the boys their top priority? Over the next 6 weeks, we saw monumental changes in our son's throwing mechanics and, for the kids' appeal, a huge jump in strength and velocity. Rob, Lane, and CJ care about these kids. They lead with love, and PUSH for growth. If your child is a catcher, you'd be remiss to not to work in El Dojo/David as part of their regimen. He's cut from the same cloth. I can't speak highly enough about, or encourage you greater as a parent to enroll your child at, the Baseball Lab. Entrust your child with coaches like Rob Iglesias, Lane Miller, CJ Kachmar, and David Sopilka and, sure, you'll see your child grow athletically if they bring a great attitude and effort. But, the BIGGEST benefit we've seen out of the Lab is how these men are guiding our boy into positive habits/growth in maturity, discipline, and hunger for the work. THAT, makes the Baseball Lab worth its weight!”

“I am a parent of a 10 year old travel baseball player and our experience with the Baseball Lab has been amazing. The daily workout routines and throwing drills are custom built by baseball training professionals but also keep the program fun for the kids. Since starting the Arm Development and Workout Programs our son has increased strength and overall body control. This has led to increased velocity, improved pitching control and more strikeouts which is great; but more importantly his developing body has stayed healthy with no arm fatigue or injuries even through long travel seasons. The baseball Lab ATL is a great way to give your younger ballplayer an edge over their competition and the tools to dominate. “
