Pitch With Dani

I was born in San Pedro, California, and raised in Bellflower. I come from a super supportive family—my parents, Jesse and Lisa, and my two older siblings, Isaiah and Jesseca, have always been my biggest fans. I started playing softball when I was 6 years old in rec ball and quickly moved into travel ball by 10U. My dad coached me through the early years until I was 14, and from there I joined the Firecracker organization under Sean Brashear, where I played until I turned 18. During my junior year at Gahr High School, I committed to Cal State Fullerton, where I played for three years and was honored to be named the 2018 Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year. In 2021, I transferred to San Diego State University and finished out my collegiate career there, graduating in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies focused on Sociology, Early Childhood Education and Child and Family Development. I have been giving pitching lessons since 2018. In 2023, I officially launched Pitch With Dani, where I now offer in-person pitching instruction in Anaheim and Downey. Pitch With Dani exists to provide pitchers with consistent, mechanics-based coaching rooted in purpose, confidence, and clarity.
