Built for Ballplayers.

Professional instruction. Trusted training programs. Verified tryout camps — built to help you reach the next level. From former Cubs pitcher Steven Ellis.

My Story

The idea for Baseball Media began on a Chicago Cubs minor league team bus somewhere between Boise and Vancouver.

In 2001, while pitching in the Cubs organization, I launched a simple newsletter with one goal: to bring pro-level instruction to players everywhere. What I learned on the way up — and what I wished I'd known earlier — became the foundation for everything that followed.

That newsletter became a book. Then a website. Then TUFFCUFF — a complete training system trusted by thousands of pitchers around the world.

Today, my resources — like PitchingTips.com and YouthPitching.com — reach more than 50,000 players, coaches, and parents each month. What started over 20 years ago as one pitcher sharing what he learned is now a suite of tools built to help you train smarter, play better, and reach the next level.
