Cam Coursey
(un)discovered
Cam Coursey grew up playing in Gwinnett County parks. As a youth ball player he “didn’t fit.” Even though Cam was one of the best in the area, his size limited him in the eyes of baseball experts. At Lanier High School, Cam thrived and became one of the top baseball players in the county.
Playing for the East Cobb Astros, Cam competed everyday in front of the best D1 college coaches in the country. During his amazing season that saw his team ranked #1 in the country, Cam hit over .400 and received zero offers!
Cam decided that being (un)discovered was an advantage! He walked on to NAIA GGC and proceeded to have one of the best two year colligate careers in history! Cam surrounded himself with trainers, partners, and resources that committed to his belief in himself. He trained relentlessly. His competitive fire was unstoppable. Cam dominated in his redshirt season at training and getting better. He looked for reps anywhere he could find them. Cam believed in himself and his dream to play professional baseball. He thrived as an undiscovered athlete all the way to being drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Robby Rowland
a giant on the mound
My name is Robby Rowland. I am the son of former Major League Catcher Rich Rowland. It is my goal to provide you with the tools + information to not only succeed at a high level, but to also fall in love with this beautiful game we call baseball.
My journey started at a very young age while my dad was still playing professional baseball. I was born around the game, lived it, breathed it as a kid. My passion led me to be a 3rd Round Draft Pick in the 2010 MLB Draft (88th overall). From 3rd Round MLB Draft Pick to Traded to Released to Arizona Fall League to Surgery Tables to Big League Spring Training to Winterball to Independent Baseball to Season Ending Surgeries to Rehab, you name it.
The biggest reason why I started my online presence is because I wanted to be an outlet for aspiring ball players from all over the world that may not have access to quality information. I want to better equip YOU in your baseball journey by providing the experience of my baseball journey.
Ryan Weiss
resilience has a name
My name is Ryan Weiss and I am currently a professional baseball player for the Arizona Diamondbacks Organization. I started playing baseball when I was young for the teams that my Dad coached. My Dad made the decision to end his life when I was 14, but I did not let that stop me from pursuing my dreams. Although I was only throwing 80-84 mph my junior year of high school, I was still able to work hard and have the opportunity to play Division 1 baseball, where I really bloomed.
Unfortunately, my Mom passed away during my junior season before I was drafted in 2018. Although this was another devastating loss, I used it as fuel to reach my fullest potential. In my first full season with the Diamondbacks, I was able to move up from Low A to High A. I started the 2021 season on the DBacks AA affiliate, the Amarillo Sod Poodles, where I was named MILB AA Central pitcher of the week for two consecutive weeks. I’m currently on the AAA Diamondbacks Affiliate, The Reno Aces.
I’m excited to continue pursuing my professional baseball journey and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to share with people my baseball knowledge, mental health advocacy, and my faith.
Anthony Maldonado
Like father, like son
My name is Anthony Maldonado from Wellington, Florida. I’m a pitcher with the Miami Marlins. From the moment I could remember, baseball was always apart of my life. My dad played for the Montreal Expos & St. Louis Cardinals so he showed me from a young age what it takes to be a pro. Most of my childhood was spent at a baseball field, taking groundballs, in the cage or throwing bullpens with my dad. He instilled in me that hard work and dedication will make your dreams a reality. Even though my journey is far from over, I’m living the life I spent years talking about. I was drafted in the 11th round in the 2019 MLB Draft after my junior year at Bethune-Cookman University. I played winter ball and played for Team Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Series. This past season, I spent time with the Marlins High A & Double A squads.
