D-BAT Fenton

Ethan is a former NCAA Division I pitcher from the St. Louis area who brings elite playing experience and a genuine passion for player development to every lesson.

He competed at Lindenwood University, where he went 7-6 with 122.1 innings pitched, 89 strikeouts, and earned OVC All-Tournament honors in 2025, and previously at St. Louis Community College, where he struck out 95 batters in just 56.1 innings, ranking 2nd nationally in K/9 at the NJCAA level.

While pitching is his specialty, Ethan works with players across all aspects of the game - hitting, fielding, and overall baseball IQ.
Ethan’s coaching philosophy centers on the belief that the best players are built from the inside out. Sound mechanics lay the foundation, but it’s the mental side of the game - competitiveness, composure, and confidence - that separates good players from great ones. He focuses on helping athletes understand why they do what they do, not just how, so that the improvements they make stick long after the lesson ends.

Having given private instruction throughout his playing career, Ethan knows what it takes to develop at every level and is committed to meeting each athlete exactly where they are.
