BaseballMentorz.com - About the Schade Brothers

Mission Statement:

BaseballMentorz.com was created by brothers, Ryan and Scott Schade.

It has become our mission to supply baseball players and coaches with professional,
comprehensive instructional information to assist in the development of aspiring collegiate
and professional baseball players.

After moving to the greater Atlanta, GA area in the fall of 2005, we (the Schade Brothers)
realized that baseball instruction was solicited every where, particularly in the Atlanta area!
Yet, a lot of the instruction being promoted wasn't what it should be nor taught by individuals
with the credentials to be teaching it. The more baseball games and players we seemed to
watch, the more mistakes and miscues we'd see occur as a result of improper instruction.
We have since set out to make a difference, hence creating BaseballMentorz.com.

About Us:

Co-Founder Ryan Schade

			Ryan graduated in the fall of 2002 from Western Carolina University, Cullowhee North Carolina. He concluded his playing career ('02) earning both First Team All-Southern Conference (SS) and First Team Academic All-American (SS) honors. Un-drafted as a senior, Ryan headed to graduate school at Auburn University. It was


	here that he soon re-kindled his passion for the game and made his way to the next level. In the spring of '03 Ryan signed a free-agent contract with the Florida Marlins. Ryan spent three years with Florida Marlin Minor League affiliates with stints in Jamestown, NY (Short Season Low A), Greensboro, NC (Low A Full-Season) and Jupiter, FL (High A). He concluded his baseball playing career with a brief showing in the Can-Am Independent League as a member of the New Jersey Jackals. Ryan is now back in Atlanta looking to assist baseball players in obtaining similar experiences to those that he has been so fortunate to have had in baseball.
