Cody just pitched 6 innings against Summer Creek. He gave up 1 earned run and 3 hits, no walks and hit one batter. He played 1st base in the 1st game and went 6 for 7 and 2 hopped 390' center field fence. Lonestar Baseball Academy is a huge part of his life. We are blessed to have LoneStar Baseball supporting Cody.

I just want to take the time to thank you for coming to Tomball Little League this past weekend. My 8 year old son attended and had the best time. Not only did he have fun, but I think he learned a lot. I can tell him something over and over but when you and your staff was talking he was hanging on every word. It really means a lot that coaches and players of your caliber are giving back to the baseball community. I will be keeping an eye on your website for upcoming camps. Also if you ever put on a coaching clinic, I would be very interested. Thanks!—Mike Hood

I took my son Johnny to his first hitting lesson at Lonestar last week. Garrett Mock helped Johnny and 3 other kids in the class, with some basic but helpful instruction with their hitting. There is not another place in town where you can invest $30 and get the kind of advice and instruction that my son received last Tuesday night.

These are major league ball players, helping my son for $30 an hour. Garrett actually took his time and went more like 90-minutes and worked individually with my son and the other kids. Mr. Mock I believe has headed to spring training and won't be around until the off season, but we are looking forward to learning from some of the other guys on staff. I hope to start scheduling some more one on one lesson in the future which do cost a little more. But again, these guys play or played in MLB. Who better for my son to learn from?

We live in Katy and it is a long drive for us but, for $30, to learn with JR or Chris or some of the other guys. The hour drive each way is still better than paying $80 an hour at the places near Katy. Thanks. My son Johnny (9 yrs old) is looking forward to the Feb. 4 all day camp.—Jonny Guerra

As a parent and a resident of Baytown I would like to say "Thank You" to all Trainers and Staff members. My child has had the opportunity to attend several of the baseball camps that the academy has offered throughout this year and he has learned something new at each camp he has attended to enhance his baseball skills.

He has also had the opportunity to attend private sessions with JR Towles to improve his skills in catching and batting which helped him this last past spring season 2010.

Your baseball academy in my opinion has made him a better baseball player and also on a positive note your customer service to the public is outstanding. I look forward to 2011 and encourage all baseball players in Baytown and surrounding community to visit your facility. Sincerely—Laura Wamble

My son Cody, is 14 years old. He has loved baseball since his first "at-bat" in T-ball. His love and desire of the game inspired his Dad to provide him with the tools and resources that he would need to be his best. Cody began taking weekly hitting and pitching lessons when he was 8 years old, and he has been taking them ever since. He has had several different instructors throughout the years, some good, some not so good. Cody was always a "good" pitcher. But to me, the Mom, he is now a "great" pitcher. There is nothing I love more, than to sit in the stands and see the results of my son's hard work.

I'm amazed at the improvement Cody has made in the 2 months that he has been instructed by Chris Sampson. Cody looks amazing on that pitching mound. His mechanics are smooth, and he is much more consistent with his pitches. I am extremely pleased with Chris Sampson and his instructional technique.

Thank you Chris, for all that you have done with Cody in the past couple of months, and we are looking forward to many more lessons with you, and a bright and successful pitching future for Cody.

Over the last year our son Hayden has shown vast improvement in both pitching and hitting thanks to the private instruction given by both Chris Sampson and JR Towles. His pitching speed has picked up by 5 or 6 MPH, and he has great form. He won the Home Run Derby in his age group at our local little league and pitched the District winning game for his All Star Team. The staff at Lonestar is not only professional, they care about the kids.We have taken both private lessons and attended the camps. Both have been well worth it!—Darryl and Julie Johnston
