Jordan Doole - Founder
University of the Cumberlands- Pitching Coach
Coach Doole is excited to join Coach Shelton and Coach Martin as a part of the 2024-2025 Cumberlands Coaching Staff. He accepted the Pitching Coach position at UC after spending the 2024 season as a member of the Texas A&M University Baseball staff. His role in the operations and analytics department helped develop a pitching staff that ranked near the top of NCAA Division 1 in ERA, strikeouts, and shutouts. He is looking forward to continuing the UC Baseball tradition of excellence and establishing one of the best pitching staffs in NAIA Baseball.
Texas A&M
In August 2023, Coach Doole was hired to be an Analytics intern for Texas A&M University Baseball in College Station, TX. This was an invaluable experience and an opportunity to interact with future big leaguers, and world class coaches on a daily basis. His responsibilities included Trackman (ball flight metrics) during bullpens, Synergy, helping with scouting reports, and other special projects. It was a special season as Texas A&M won the regional and super regional championships on their way to the finals of the College World Series in Omaha, NE.
Full Count Rhythm (Prospect League)
In the Summer of 2024 Coach Doole served as the Pitching Coach of the Full Count Rhythm in Hendersonville, TN. The league covered 7 states (Tennessee, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Pennsylvania) and has 18 teams in several divisions. He had the opportunity to work with a really talented group of arms from schools including (Vanderbilt, Auburn, Louisville, Belmont, Samford, Kennesaw State, & Wright State) to name a few. The team finished 6th in ERA (5.18), 4th in Strikeouts (494), 4th in K/9 (9.72), 3rd in Shutouts, 6th in BAA, and 7th in WHIP (1.58).

Tread Athletics
From December 2023 to January 2024, Coach Doole served as a Performance Coach intern at Tread Athletics in Pineville, NC. This was a unique opportunity to work with a wide range of College and Pro pitchers. Tread specializes in remote coaching, and their facility does a great job of helping guys with pitch design, weight training, mechanics, correctives, and rehab. During his time there, he was involved with all of those aspects of pitcher development and worked with some of the best minds in the industry. Some of their clients include Dane Dunning (Rangers), Josh Hader (Padres), Cole Ragans (Royals), Mitch Keller (Pirates), Pete Fairbanks (Rays), and many more.
Patrick Henry High School
Coach Doole previously served as the Pitching Coach at Patrick Henry High School for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He has been instrumental to the success of the pitching staff there, guiding them to a (1.95 ERA in 223 IP) with 260K, 8 Complete Games, 6 Shutouts, and (5) 1-Hit Bids in 32 games played in his first year with the program. Henry also brought home its third League Championship in a row and advanced to the third-round of CIF playoffs.
In his second season, the Patrick Henry Pitching staff took another step forward while facing a tough schedule and moving up to Division I. They tallied a (2.87) ERA, (277) Strikeouts, (1.32) WHIP. The pitching staff also filled up the zone with a (62.8%) Strike Percentage, (61.4%) First Pitch Strike Percentage, (2.64) K/BB Rate, and (8.2) K's per game. This great regular season run culminated with an (8-4) Western League Record, and a fourth consecutive League Championship.
Patrick Henry also made a great playoff run that year, advancing to the CIF San Diego Section D1 Championship Game. The Patriots played in the CIF State Playoffs and reached the State Semifinals. Cody Cappelletti and Talin Gardini are now both committed to Saint Mary’s (CA) to play DI Baseball. The Patriots also committed Jack Giordano (San Diego), Ryan Ellis (Santa Clara), Dillon Foster (Lewis & Clark), Ryan Ruch (Cal State Bakersfield), & Travis Van Dyke (Asuza Pacific) to play at the next level during his time there.
Our Story
Much of Jordan’s training took place at one of the premiere training facilities in the United States, The Texas Baseball Ranch™️, led by Coach Ron Wolforth, near Houston, TX. Coach Doole believes in their unique training approach that first and foremost identifies mechanical inefficiencies, and movement restrictions. His training program emphasizes the importance of reducing arm pain first; resulting in better arm health, command, velocity, and effective off-speed pitches. The goal is to find a throw for a pitcher that has no pain, and explodes out of the hand. Coach Doole is proof that velocity is not “God given” and can be developed in a formulaic way, and looks forward to sharing cutting edge training techniques with you!
Jordan played baseball at Patrick Henry High School in San Diego, CA where he was a 2 year Varsity player, as a pitcher and an outfielder. He was selected First-Team All Eastern League, Varsity MVP, and Pitcher of the Year. He graduated from UC San Diego in 3 years with a B.A in Political Science and a Minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. He was also the pitching coach and a member of the Club Baseball team. During those summers, he attended the Texas Baseball Ranch, to further develop himself as a pitcher and coach. In his time spent training at the Ranch, he gained 5MPH on his fastball, and learned how to throw virtually pain free. He will complete a Masters in Sports Management at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX in December 2024. He will pursue another Masters in Coaching and Fitness Leadership at University of the Cumberlands (KY) while serving as the Pitching Coach for the 24-25 season.
Far too often, arm pain and injury have become normalized in ballplayers. Athletes have few alternatives to turn to for help outside of ibuprofen, rest, and in extreme cases, their local orthopedic surgeon. Identifying the 11 possible upper and lower half disconnections in a player’s throwing motion and reducing them helps pitchers reduce arm pain, throw harder, recover faster, and perform more consistently. Identifying these early in the pitcher’s development is vital and is critical for pitchers to protect their arms and their careers. The goal of Workhorse Pitching is to empower players to understand their own most efficient throwing mechanics which leads to better arm health, durability, and performance. If they can do this, they will be able to make adjustments and adapt their training and drills accordingly. Every player has their own unique throwing motion so we try to augment what they already do well while making adjustments to areas of disconnection.
