About Me

Jorge Minyety– Professional Baseball Coach

About Coach Minyety

My name is Coach Minyety. I was born in the Dominican Republic, where my passion for baseball began at the age of seven. Through hard work and dedication, I was signed by the San Diego Padres when I was just sixteen years old, and I spent five years playing professional baseball. In 2013, I brought my experience and love for the game to Arizona, where I have been coaching ever since.

Mission

My mission is to help young athletes become the best versions of themselves—both on and off the field. I believe that developing strong character and discipline is the foundation for success, not only in baseball but in life. My goal is to inspire my players to work hard, stay committed, and always strive for excellence.

Vision

I envision building a community of players who are not only skilled athletes but also outstanding individuals. My coaching style is unique because I look beyond immediate results—I focus on each player’s long-term development and potential. One of my favorite quotes is: “There is no ‘no’ for a young player willing to put in the work and grind.”

Growing up in the Dominican Republic, we learned to build our skills from the ground up, often with very little. It was pure heart and effort that made the difference. Here in Arizona, players have access to great resources, but I teach them that without passion and hard work, nothing can be accomplished. I blend the grit and creativity of Dominican training with the opportunities available here, giving my players the best of both worlds.

Blending Dominican and US Baseball Training

My coaching style is a unique blend of the best from both the Dominican Republic and the United States. Growing up in the Dominican Republic, we often trained with limited resources, which taught us to be creative, resilient, and to focus on fundamentals. We learned to build skills from the ground up, relying on hard work, repetition, and a true passion for the game. This environment instilled in me the importance of effort, discipline, and never giving up.

In the United States, players have access to advanced facilities, technology, and specialized coaching. Here, I incorporate these resources—such as video analysis, structured drills, and strength training—into my programs. This allows players to benefit from modern techniques and data-driven improvement.

By combining the heart and grit of Dominican training with the tools and opportunities available in the US, I help players develop not just their skills, but also their mentality and love for the game. My goal is to create well-rounded athletes who are prepared to succeed at any level.

Freylin Minyety I am forever grateful to my brother for the incredible role he has played in my life. In 2017, he brought me from the Dominican Republic to Arizona after I was unable to sign with a major league team back home. He believed in me when things were tough and gave me a second chance to chase my dreams. From the moment I arrived, he treated me like his own son. He enrolled me in school, took me there every day, and mentored me through every challenge. His support and guidance helped me adjust to a new country and stay focused on my goals, both in the classroom and on the baseball field. Because of his dedication and belief in me, I was able to attend college for two years and eventually sign with the Philadelphia Phillies. I spent four amazing years with the Phillies organization, growing as both a player and a person. Now, I am proud to continue my journey in baseball as a scout in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. None of this would have been possible without my brother’s love, sacrifice, and mentorship. Thank you for everything—you truly changed my life.

With my time working with Coach Minyety was nothing more than a blessing due to the quality of work, ability to build confidence from repetition. My favorite memories was definitely winning tournaments but most importantly the conversation we had about the game and his experience in his playing time. One thing I learned from Coach was the importance of having the focus of every rep and the understanding that the game is hard and to trust the process. Something I’d like to tell kids is that hard work doesn’t beat talent, but OBSESSION is what conquers talent. If you want to, it can be done!

Testimonial

When I trained with coach Jorge I remember the intensity and the knowledge that I gained from it. I learned a lot from it. My favorite memory was definitely just being able to feel stronger and like a more developed baseball player. My advice and what I learned most is that you don’t have to be the biggest or strongest guy on the field at a young age, just put in the work and get a little bit better everyday and the results will eventually be there.

Training with you was one of the most impactful experiences in my baseball journey. I still remember being at Sereno Park with you and my brother multiple times a week the summer before my freshman year. You had us long toss not only with baseballs but with softballs—something completely new to me at the time. I’ll admit, I was skeptical. But you paired that with Dominican-style speed and shoulder strengthening work after every session, and within a few weeks, I noticed the ball was jumping out of my hand harder than ever. By the end of that summer, my velocity had climbed from the low/mid 70s to the low 80s, and my arm had never felt better. I was also consistent in the gym and finally growing into my body. What’s important is that I wasn’t chasing velocity—it was just a byproduct of the consistent lifting, arm care, and structured throwing we did together. Fast forward to this fall at Princeton, and I’ve been sitting 88–90, hitting 92 mph multiple times. Advice I’d give to younger players (ages 12–15): First, find a coach who truly cares about your long-term success—someone like Coach Jorge. If you’re willing to put in the effort, he’ll match it tenfold. Second, trust the process—and more than that, fall in love with it. It has to become something you look forward to every day, something that shapes how you live, train, and think. Lastly, surround yourself with people who genuinely want the best for you—usually your parents and family—and get them on board with your goals. Once they understand what you’re chasing, your path becomes a lot smoother.

I play first base for the Houston Cougars.Some of my favorite memories growing up playing baseball with Jorge came from our practices together. It didn’t matter where we were or how much equipment we had—he was always creative with his drills and built an environment where we could work hard and get better. I’ll never forget the energy he brought every day with his loud music and dancing—it reminded me to enjoy the game and play loose. The best advice I can give to young players starting out is to take the mental side of baseball as seriously as the physical. If you can spend an hour taking swings in the cage, you can also spend fifteen minutes listening to big leaguers talk about their approach and finding ways to build your own confidence. I’m where I am today because Jorge instilled that work ethic and mindset into my everyday life. He not only made me a better baseball player, but a better person—and I can’t thank him enough for that

Preston Armstrong

The biggest thing I remember about my training with coach Minyety is the mentality you taught me to be aggressive and attack the ball. In 13u you also reinvented my swing and changed it for the better. I always remember you telling me knob to the catcher. Advice: Have fun! Play your game and don't worry about any outside noise.

Coach Jorge helped me tremendously, the way he cared not only as a player but off the field was a huge benefit for me. I will always be greatful for the lessons he taught me.
