Defensive Development Built on Precision and Preparation
At Pease Baseball Professionals, we believe elite defense is developed through detail, repetition, and intent. Our fielding instruction is built on years of daily work with infielders and outfielders who have learned how to slow the game down, trust their preparation, and make difficult plays look routine.
Defense is not reactive here. It is trained, anticipated, and owned.
Position-Specific Instruction That Translates
Every defensive role carries unique demands. Our instruction is tailored specifically to infielders and outfielders, addressing the footwork, angles, reads, and responsibilities required at each position. We teach athletes how to move efficiently into and through the baseball so their mechanics hold up under pressure.
Glove Work, Footwork, and Transfer Efficiency
We develop soft hands, clean exchanges, and efficient foot patterns that allow defenders to stay athletic through the ball. Transfers are trained with intent, helping players move quickly from fielding to throwing without wasted motion. Precision matters, especially when time is limited.
Reaction Speed and Athletic Movement
Great defenders win the first step. We train reaction speed, agility, and body control to build explosive first movements and confident recovery. The goal is simple: arrive on time, under control, and ready to make the play.
Arm Strength, Accuracy, and Throwing Integrity
Strong, accurate throws across the diamond are built through sound mechanics and repeatable movement patterns. We train throwing efficiency that allows players to generate arm strength while maintaining consistency and long-term health.
Game IQ and Anticipation
Defense is as much mental as it is physical. We teach situational awareness, anticipation, and decision-making so players understand where the play is going before the ball is hit. Preparation creates confidence, and confidence creates consistency.
Coaching, Standards, and Accountability
Our coaches build strong relationships with players while holding them to high defensive standards. Communication, effort, and attention to detail are non-negotiables. Defensive excellence is expected, not optional.
Beyond the Play
Fielding develops discipline, awareness, and trust in preparation. These traits carry into competition and life beyond baseball. Our commitment is to develop defenders who take pride in their craft and responsibility in every rep.
“Great defense doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through preparation and accountability.”

Evan Englebrook, a Mechanicsburg, PA native, began his baseball journey at Shippensburg University, where he earned First Team All-American honors in his senior year. This was soon followed by his selection in the 8th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft by the Houston Astros. From there Englebrook’s professional career went on to span 11 years. During his first seven years with the Astros organization, he spent parts of four seasons in Double-A, developing into a pitcher who consistently threw in the upper 90s. During that time, he also played in the Arizona Fall league and winter ball in Venezuela. He was then added to the Houston Astros 40-man roster in 2010. Following that year Englebrook went on to play 3 seasons of independent ball. Two of those with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League; winning the championship with them in 2014. He also played one season in the Toronto Blue Jays organization and another overseas in Japan.
Following his playing career, Englebrook transitioned into coaching, leveraging his extensive experience and knowledge of the game. From 2018 to 2019, he served as a floor trainer at Full Reps Training Center in Camp Hill, PA, where he guided elite athletes through data-driven training programs. His role involved addressing mechanical inefficiencies, assisting with warm-ups and recovery, and interpreting performance data using advanced technologies like Rapsodo and Edgertronic. He also provided individualized pitching and hitting lessons, emphasizing both the mechanics and mental aspects of baseball.
In 2021 Englebrook moved to Fredrick to live with his girlfriend. That led him to Hood College in Frederick, MD, where he served as the pitching coach from 2022 to 2024. His dedication to improving pitchers’ mechanics and his ability to help guide his players through the college process so there would be less internal conflict and more peace of mind significantly contributed to the team’s growth over the past two years. Hood was 12-27 the year before Englebrook arrived and each season since they have steadily improved. Finishing this past season 3rd in the Mac conference with an overall record of 23-17. Englebrook helped develop two all-conference pitchers this past season and a conference pitcher of the year in Joe Alexander.
