Juan Franco - Director of Coaching & Training

At age 17, Franco signed with the Oakland A's Summer League team in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Franco played for Oakland for five years. Franco's love for the game never faded. He started coaching young aspiring Dominican players who had big dreams of making it to the major leagues. After ten years of coaching, Franco is proud of signing players to minor and major league teams. Players such as Elier Hernandez, Aristides Aquino, and Manure Sierra signed million-dollar contracts for various teams. 
Franco most enjoys being a coach who focuses on fine-tuning each player's technical skills. He looks at the form and structure of each throw, catch, bat, and run. He spends time perfecting each player's particular skill while challenging them to go above and beyond--where many players discover strengths they didn't know they had.
