He programmed, scheduled, and supervised, voluntary organized team training sessions along with associate head Baseball Coach, Brett Holmgren. Throughout a successful spring, many teams became involved in the offseason training programs. There were incredible improvements across the board and the preliminary offseason of training was a success. Bailey and Brett organized summer training programs to even more teams.
