“Alex is a personable & energetic instructor with extensive knowledge for the game. He continues to help me in many aspects of the game and I am fortunate to have his experience help me now in professional baseball. His use of video analysis & ability to relate to players are just two of the many reasons that set him apart from other instructors in our area." 

Scott Williams  CHS '12, Texas Rangers

"Alex teaches the fundamentals of baseball better than anyone else. My hitting and overall game continually improved because of the workouts with Alex. He is a mentor to me, as well as my younger brother, and he's always helping us improve.  What is more compelling is his constant positive attitude, consistent high level of energy, extensive abilities and resourcefulness to teach, and his ability to share his passion for the game. Alex challenges us to strive to be and do our very best personally, academically, and athletically.”

Austin Shirley CHS '14, Georgetown University '18

"Alex continues to help me in many ways with my baseball career. He is able to analyze the game and teach it in a way that makes sense to the player, and his experience in the game - understanding the ups and downs - gives is players the ability to  make necessary adjustments quicker. Alex is right there with me, teaching every moment he can, even if it is in a text message with helpful ideas. He genuinely cares about the futures of the players and I continue to improve because of his knowledge and help."

confidence needed to play the game."

Along with honing his skills and knowledge of the game, Alex is a wonderful role model who instills self-discipline, motivation and drive along with promoting dedication to the game. Max was very well prepared for life after high school and Alex's influence continues to greatly contribute to him becoming a well-balanced student-athlete that competes at the college level."

Kimberly Buck, mother of Ryan Buck, CHS '18

"I first met Alex when I was about 8 years old.  Alex saw the potential that I had as a baseball athlete and helped me develop and understand more about the game.  He always pushed me to be the best that I could be and while it was tough at times to get through, I understand and appreciate why he took that approach.  He knows how to get the most out of players.  He has been with me through it all, whether it was an encouraging note after an injury or picking me up during a game.  His knowledge of the game and his ability to make even bunting fun, is second to none.  I am grateful to have worked with and played for Alex." 

Luke Borger, CHS '18

"With 3 boys who have been playing baseball since they could hold one and are all now playing in high school, we've been exposed to a few coaches and coaching styles over the past 15 years. What differentiates Alex is his level of discipline, drive and detail. It is so clear how much he loves the game and his willingness to give his knowledge in just the right doses with players - and parents. Our sons learned more in one season with Alex than anyone else and they continue to learn from him through his programs.  The expectations Alex instills - being prepared, working hard, 100% effort - and the positive discipline that we've seen carry over into their academic and personal lives is an added bonus!  Whether or not your child intends to play baseball in high school, college or beyond, he will receive an incredible foundation and become a better, more focused and strategic player training with Alex."

Amy Brown, mother of  Alex Brown, CHS '18, Luke Brown, CHS '20, Will Brown, CHS '21

"What we like most about Alex is how he challenges each and every player he works with to get better!  He understands the commitment it takes to improve, and he pushes every athlete to maximize their potential.  His workouts are incredibly productive and well-coordinated, which assures each ball player participating the greatest potential to improve.  Alex understands that preparation is critical for success and he is always available to help young ball players achieve their goals.  He has worked with both of our boys for close to ten years now, and they feel comfortable reaching out to him for guidance and support.  One can tell that Alex remains a student of the game, as well, exemplified by his creative fresh approaches to training.  Our community is fortunate to have a dedicated and committed baseball mind in Alex Melconian."

Greg and Cathy Mauro, parents of Will Mauro, CHS '19, & Kyle Mauro, CHS '23

"I’ve known Alex for almost 30 years and  he is the most dedicated, passionate, cerebral baseball instructor and mind in the area.  It’s difficult to put into words how much he’s done for my sons and our baseball programs.  He’s achieved nothing short of spectacular results, through specialized training methods and consistent reinforcement.

 Not only does he teach,  he’s a great mentor to them as well."

"Alex is a tremendous coach that has an incredible passion for helping players of all levels become better athletes and baseball players. Alex runs well organized and efficient practice sessions and his attention to detail continues well after practice ends with reviews of what was done along with recommendations for additional work. Alex is constantly learning and tied into leading baseball training trends across all levels of the game. 

He is an incredible asset to our baseball community."

Doug Fuerst, Father of Henry Fuerst, CHS '25

"Alex Melconian's positive impact on older players as they prepare to play at very high, competitive levels is well established and documented. The results Alex continues to achieve with younger players can not be overlooked. He has the ability to engage them, speak their language, and build a culture of 'bought in players' - and parents.  Alex breaks bad habits before they start, fully explains his methods to the kids, and creates objective improvements from season to season.  The fundamentals Alex preaches transcend from the field to the classroom as well as to the overall development of each kid. "
