About Seals Hardball Academy

Building Ballplayers, One Rep at a Time.

Founded by Coach John Seals, Seals Hardball Academy was created with one goal in mind: to develop complete baseball and softball players through discipline, fundamentals, and a passion for the game. With over 4 years of coaching experience in youth baseball, I’ve seen how the right instruction can completely transform a player’s confidence, performance, and love for the sport — whether they’re on the diamond or the softball field.

Why I Do This

Baseball has the power to teach lessons that last far beyond the diamond—discipline, teamwork, resilience. I started this academy because I believe in investing in young athletes, not just to help them win games, but to help them grow into better players and better people.

What We Focus On

  • ✔️ One-on-one & small group instruction

  • ✔️ Hitting, fielding, baserunning, and baseball IQ
