- No, there is no cost for the private workout and never will be. - Yes, the training programs (offense, defense, pitching, and speed/strength/conditioning) are moduled so you can get as intense as you want or just work on specifics. - Yes, the teams will be playing in the "big name" showcase events as well as the potential for International play.
If interested please send E-mail with name, age, position, contact information, high school name and graduation year to jbcteammanager@att.net.

One of your players is attending my camp for incoming freshman this week. Very impressive ball player that has a bright future. He has been wearing his Jaramillo "gear" with pride the last two days and has done a great job representing your program.
Thanks for what you are doing for baseball in our area.

Thank you for the positive comments. That's great to hear because that is the expectation we have of ever player in our organization. Respect the game, respect your opponents, and respect your Jaramillo "brothers" by carrying yourself like a professional.
Coach may you be directed and blessed by God in all that you do for the young men you have been given.

Not being difficult but....that's why it's private.
The Jaramillo Professional training program is unique to our club. There are only three people in the world that teach hitters what we teach, the way we teach it. Rudy, Aaron, and Tony Jaramillo.
If you would like to find out more, PM your Phone # to me and we can discuss.

Hello and a tremendous thank you to everyone who has inquired about our club and for the wonderful comments about our organization and our players.
Let me start by saying THIS WEB SITE IS AMAZING!!!
It is unbelievable how many messages and phone calls and how many conversations have been generated because of this web site. The greatness of all who are responsible for it's existance and it's maintenance should be proclaimed. If you are watching, please PM me so we can somehow be a supporter of something so valuable to the greatest game on earth in it's most innocent and wonderful form, High School Baseball!!
Our club:
The thing that we have come to realize is that we are soooooo different from any other club team or amatuer baseball organization, that parents have a hard time grasping our philosophy and our mission.
In an attempt to provide insight to our club and to try and answer all the questions I've received to the best of my ability:
Our owner and his family were never involved in the "rec ball" or "select baseball" world. They have been raised in and around professional baseball only. They do not understand why parents think that their "association" with a particular "Club" means that their son will be given college and professional opportunities. They have seen hundreds of players that have been proclaimed to be something because "they played for the -----'s or the -------'s or ----", only to watch them get cut or sent home because they did not have the fundamental skills and techniques required to be successful at the next level.
- The foremost thing to know about the Jaramillo's Baseball Club is that we exist only for the purpose of developing players......not winning tournaments so we can hang banners from our walls and call ourselves the best _ _U team in the country.
- To that end, we will never post on our web site, in a self serving attempt to somehow claim resonsibility for their success, the names of any and every player who's ever even spoke to us in passing that made it to college or the pro's.
- We understand that every player's success is a result of their God given gifts and of them taking "personal responsibility" for utilizing the training and opportunities they have been provided.
- We understand that God has blessed us with the abilities and opportunities to be a part of His greater plan for the lives of our athletes and we take that responsibility very seriously.
- We will never be "watered down" like other organizations who constantly attempt to become bigger and bigger in order to make more and more money off the dreams of their untrained players.
- We will also never allow ourselves to become "watered down" in our training or our standards because we do not kneel at the feet of the almighty dollar.
- We will only have as many teams as we can effectively train to the standards we set and our training or coaching will never be given by anyone who has not played professionally unless they have been evaluated, trained, and certified by the Jaramillo's.
- Parents and players, you cannot count on always being the biggest, strongest, fastest player or team. There will always be some player somewhere more athletically gifted and some team whose owner is willing to pay for the best "Joe Stud" athletes to play for his team. Or even worse, uses the money paid all year by the "contractually bound" parents to cover the cost of "Joe Stud" so he can come in and take post season playing opportunities away from the players who went to war together all year. All this is done so they can call themselves the best and ba$k in their own glory. Where i$ the glory in that? We cannot $ee it. Can you?
- We have and we will continue to win plenty of games and tournaments by making sure our players have been given the opportunity to be the most "fundamentally sound" players on the field.
-When we do win, we win because our players, no matter how big, strong, fast or athletically gifted, are successful in the application of our training principles during game situations.
-We will never scream at our players or treat them in a negative way. They are our family and are deserving of the respect, patience, understanding and love that comes with that.
-We would never, as we've seen here on this site and others, make a comment that was intended to portray any player or parent in a negative way or to demean them as individuals or competitors, no matter what the gripe or complaint or accusation directed at our club. We make mistakes because we are not perfect. Players make mistakes because they are not perfect. Parents make mistakes because they are not perfect. There has been, and will be again, only One who is perfect.
-Nothing good can come from negativity. You can't fix a negative with a negative. If we have nothing positive to say, we do not say anything. When we lose or play below our potential, it doesn't do any good to tell this player or that player what they did wrong. No one knows it more than the player. Why do coaches and parents want to beat it to death? Do they not know the game? It is failure by design. Embrace it. Be thankful for it. You cannot learn or improve without failure. Success is an enemy who will steal your potential. Failure is your friend who shows you how to get better and makes you see the truth.
-There once lived a man, who willingly gave his life for his beliefs and his people. He said that "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. And hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that". He was told the Truth, and guided by the Light so he could find and proclaim the Way. We pray that the same Truth and Light be our guide so we can always find our Way.
-To all those players that came out, your efforts and attitudes were excellent (the only thing you can control) and we look forward to seeing you again. We will send E-mails to you all and also post here, the details of our next workout.
-For those that could not make it and wanted to reschedule, I know who you are and I will let you know the details as well, as soon as possible.
-For those of you that have not yet shown an interest, you will.
Thanks. jbcteammanager@att.net.

Can I ask who you are 4genball and how you fit into this organization?
As someone who played with Tony, and worked on the same staff as Rudy for 3 years, I'll be very interested in how this works for them.
Of course we know about Rudy, but I can tell you from experience Tony has a gift for instruction. As a college senior, Tony was a sophmore and I took his advise rountinely into my at bats.

Thanks for the invite! ... my son was impressed with the staff from the minute he stepped on the field. He made the comment - there is something different about these coaches than other organizations!

Who am I? Well.....I am a nobody who was a lost and dying soul stranded in this world without hope, but through the life, death and ressurection of my Father's son, Jesus Christ, I have been saved from eternal suffering in the pits of Hades. God, as a loving Father, has blessed me by bringing Aaron, Tony and Rudy into my life and the life of my family.
I have been involved in the game for 47 years. I have played, coached, scouted and given private lessons. During my coaching career I had a lifetime winning percentage of .810 and have had my players go on to D1/D2/D3 universities, JUCO's and the professional ranks. As a scout I've had six players signed to professional contracts with one of them playing international ball (Italy).
In the private sector, I worked in the communications industry for 23 years. In my last assignment, before retirement in 2003, I developed, staffed, trained and operated a national call center and was responsible for a 12 million dollar capital and expense budget. I had 119 direct and indirect (salaried and bargaining unit/union) employees reporting to me and was the VP of Operations for our Texas business unit. My territory ran from the Texas/Arkansas line south to Harlingen and west to San Angelo. I have a Masters in Project Management from George Washington University.
Where do I fit in? I have been blessed again by my Father and asked to be the Business/General Manager for the organization. I was not qualified enough to be one of the "baseball" guys so I caught on the best I could.
You speak the absolute truth Ken. Rudy, Tony and Aaron are the most talented teachers I've ever seen. Everyone knows about the Jaramillo hitting. No one knows about their fielding instruction and their ability to teach the mental approach required to survive the constant failure of the great game. If you come see us play, watch our fielders, they are as polished as any you will see.
We feel that it is time for a change in the way things are done in "select ball" and God willing, we are here to change it. I've heard the negative comments made by some of the other club owners/managers, trying to protect themselves by saying we are a short term thing. I guess we'll see won't we?
May be more than you wanted to know, but as I promised my Father, I have to tell the Truth.
I guess this is also a good time to let everyone know, we have just reached an agreement with our organization's full time pitching coach and an official announcement will be coming soon. His name is Brian Clark and he pitched for 8 years in the MLB.
Come see us.....More to follow soon.
