Big League Edge Performance Baseball is proud to announce its new Infield Director JC Cowan. Cowan brings a renewed enthusiasm and vision to BLE’s defensive training that will compliment the brand new 5 Tool Defensive Clinic series.

Replacing Jeff Hebner as Infield Director, JC Cowan will be working closely with other BLE defensive coaches to implement the new progressive training curriculum. Setting the trend in the Pacific Northwest, Big League Edge Performance Baseball will be utilizing two infields in its brand new 33,000 square foot athletic performance training complex that feature infill turf and defensive training equipment. Athletes will use ground ball throwing machines, specialized defensive gloves, and over speed training harnesses that increase range and agility in the field.

“BLE is moving towards training the tools of the athlete which promise success on the field when the game gets quicker and faster. Building mechanics into a player will assist with execution and increasing statistics, but tools define the player and that is what Big League Edge is all about.” Stated Cowan.

Each 5 Tool Defensive Clinic will last six weeks and cater to age and ability specific training groups. Each future clinic will build upon the last and require prerequisite defensive abilities to enroll. A Developmental Skills session will run during each six week clinic to get new players up to “speed” in hopes of integrating them into the main work group.

BLE will be limiting each age specific session to 25 players whom will utilize both fields during their two hour workout that includes ninety minutes of defensive training and thirty minutes of strength training in our 6000 square foot fitness center. This will maintain BLE’s goal of rapid and explosive training that promises reps and limited idle time. 

“I am extremely excited about this new approach to defensive training. The new facility will enable us to have more room and resources to draw from when teaching these young athletes what it takes to succeed in this game.” Stated Marc Wiese of Puyallup High School baseball.

Rounding out BLE’s new defensive coaching staff is Marc Wiese, Glen Walker, and Denny Oughton. Wiese played third base and shortstop for the NY Mets Organization and is the current Puyallup High School head baseball coach at the Varsity level. Glen Walker played Division I college baseball and is the Auburn Mountain View head baseball coach at the Varsity level. Denny Oughton was an assistant coach at Clemson University in South Carolina for four years and coached previously at Green River Community College for three years.
