Testimonials
Jake has an approach that is way more than pitching. It's strength building as well as pitching. He was very encouraging and helped build confidence. Never once said anything negative or degrading. We are just starting into this venture and my son is super excited for his next lesson.
Rustin, 9 year old son
My son's shoulder and arm used to get very sore while pitching in practice or games. Since he started working with Jake, his pre and post-arm throwing program has helped eliminate the constant strain on his arm and increased Ian's endurance during practice and games.
Satish, 12 year old son
My favorite part is just having fun during the lesson while still being serious and a good source of growth. Jake gives instant feedback that is not only reliable, but also easy enough to understand.

About Your Pitching Coach
Hi! My name is Jake Skala. I grew up in Kearney, NE, and developed a passion for baseball at an early age, which was further ignited when I had the opportunity to play in the Little League World Series in 2012 as part of the Midwest team.
After graduating from Kearney High School, I attended Barton Community College, where I played baseball as a starting pitcher for two years. In 2019, I helped the team reach the regional tournament. My coaching journey began in 2015 when I started coaching for Kearney Little League. When I moved to Lincoln, I continued coaching for the Nebraska Prospects during the fall season. I was also a pitching coach at Lincoln East in 2023, where I shared my knowledge and passion for the sport as we watched them win State in the Spring and Summer.
