Mike Hathorn, Head Coach, Hartford Babe Ruth

Primal Baseball under the leadership of Jordy Allard, affectionately known as "Jordy Baseball," has been an absolute game-changer for our young athletes. His unwavering passion for the sport is infectious, inspiring our players to fall in love with the game even more. Beyond his profound knowledge of baseball, Jordy’s unique ability to nurture both the skills and mental fortitude of players at all levels has been instrumental in helping them unlock their full potential. Our program is incredibly fortunate to have him as a mentor and coach. Jordy empowers individuals to unlock their true potential, creating not just better players, but more resilient and confident individuals both on and off the diamond.

Pat McBride (Parent and Coach of Upper Valley Rauders)

“Primal Baseball is the perfect blend of experience and teaching. While their coaches have played the game at a high level and are incredibly knowledgeable, it is their passion for the sport, the growth of those they works with, and their patience that are the separators. PB doesn't use a "cookie cutter" approach like a lot of instructors; they tailors things to the individual player and engage with them in a way that builds confidence and skill. Jordy worked with my son a few years ago and it was clear to see that he not only knows what he is doing but legitimately enjoys sharing his knowledge and seeing the kids succeed. For older kids, they offer much more than physical coaching; bringing a a mental approach, nutrition, strength and conditioning, and guidance on future plans as well. Above all else, Primal Baseball is passionate about kids from NH and VT maximizing their potential and giving them the tools they need to do that."

(Seamus Tynes Mother)

“We feel very fortunate to have found Primal Baseball. Jordy has been able to form a connection with my son which has allowed them to work together easily to build both skill and confidence. My son responded to Jordy’s instruction and he reports “I understand what Jordy is telling me to do and it makes it easier for me to pitch”. Our family holds Primal Baseball in the highest regard.”

Myles and Maggie Boone

(Alex Boone’s Parents)

“Without question, Primal Baseball excels at teaching the fundamentals of baseball. They draw from their deep experience as a player (as pitchers, have excelled at the highest level of collegiate competition) and as students of the game. While I’m sure there are plenty of coaches who can teach the fundamentals, what sets Primal Baseball apart is his ability to coach the mental side of the game—probably the most important and difficult part of the game to teach. Jordy has become a family friend and incredible mentor to our son.”

Brian Melzer, Head Coach, Upper Valley Ambush

Primal Baseball did a terrific job in coaching our 11- and 12-year olds. I love their approach of teaching kids to move athletically and throw efficiently. Their training develops fundamental skills that are not just useful for pitchers but also for position players. Their throwing progressions are also quite creative, which helps to challenge players and keep them engaged

Mike Grant, Head Coach, Belmont Youth Baseball

Primal Baseball was instrumental in our teams improvement in all phases of the game. They has a deep knowledge of technical skills needed in baseball, but was able to verbalize that understanding in ways 10 and 11 year olds could digest and apply. As a player himself, Jordy was also incredibly helpful with the mental aspects of the game, teaching the boys how to handle adversity and find joy in the game they love.

John Malcolm, President of Woodstock Youth Baseball

Primal Baseball has been a fantastic asset to our players and coaches. We recently ran two week-long semi-private clinics for our pitchers. The feedback we received from players and their families was extremely positive. They got help breaking down their mechanics - all while having fun! We also saw immediate improvement from our players. We look forward to future engagements with Primal Baseball for the betterment of our program and players.

Robert Cramer, President of Norwich Youth Baseball

Primal Baseball knows how to teach baseball. My 12 year old son had a blast working with them on pitching fundamentals and hitting strategy. The session was so successful I invited Jordy to come help out at our 12u All-Star team practice. He really connected with the kids, sharing his baseball knowledge and love of the game!

Keith Lockwood, President of Belmont Youth Baseball

Primal Baseball has been a blessing for Belmont Youth Baseball.  For many years now, Jordy has led winter training programs for BYBS and hosted in-season pitching clinics.  We have seen tremendous growth and development in our players under his tutelage.  His accomplishments as a Division 1 NCAA pitcher are second only to his teaching and coaching skills.  Jordy is wonderful with our kids, and at all ages - from those little ones learning to play all the way through our aspiring high school athletes.  If you are looking for baseball instruction, there is no one I would recommend more highly than Primal Baseball
