At Pease Baseball Professionals, our hitting instruction is grounded in years of daily work with players who have progressed through our system and gone on to succeed at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. We do not teach a single swing model. We develop hitters.
Every athlete who steps into our cages is evaluated as an individual. Our job is to refine what already exists, eliminate inefficiencies, and build a repeatable, powerful swing that holds up against real pitching.
Our hitting instruction emphasizes efficient movement and intent. We focus on ground force production, lower-half efficiency, rotational power, and creating a short, connected swing. Balance and stability are foundational. Quickness to the ball, pitch tracking, timing, and adjustability are trained every day, not talked about in theory.
We build hitters who can generate power without sacrificing barrel control, who stay on time, and who can make adjustments at game speed.
There are no cookie-cutter swings here. Every hitter has a unique build, rhythm, and athletic profile. Our coaches refine each player’s natural mechanics to maximize consistency, bat speed, and confidence in the box. The goal is not to look good in a drill. The goal is to perform when the game speeds up.
TrackMan integration is available through optional subscription models for hitters who want deeper feedback on their development. When data is used, it supports the feel and intent we coach on the floor. Numbers never replace coaching. They reinforce it.
Our coaches build strong relationships with players because trust accelerates development. We mentor, lead, and hold athletes accountable to high standards. The cage is a learning environment, but it is also a place where habits, confidence, and competitiveness are built.
We believe great hitters are built through more than mechanics alone. Character, work ethic, and personal growth matter. Our commitment is to develop disciplined athletes who carry the same focus and confidence from the cage into competition, the classroom, and life beyond baseball.
“We don’t chase trends. We build swings and approaches that last.”

Born and raised in Woodsboro, Maryland, Brett Ahalt emerged as a multi-sport athlete at Walkersville High School, excelling in both baseball and football. On the diamond, he was recognized by Perfect Game as the No. 20 overall prospect and No. 4 second baseman in Maryland. His natural tools—speed, bat control, and glove work—earned him Preseason All-American honors, while his toughness and leadership were also on display on the football field, where he helped lead Walkersville to a Maryland 2A State Championship.
Ahalt’s dedication and versatility drew the attention of major collegiate programs, ultimately leading him to begin his college career in one of the nation’s premier baseball conferences.
Clemson University (2020–2021)
Ahalt began his collegiate career on scholarship at Clemson University, a perennial powerhouse in the ACC. Though his freshman campaign was hampered by injury and redshirted in 2021, the experience proved formative. Training alongside some of the best collegiate talent in the country, Ahalt honed his skills, developed mentally, and built the foundation for the success that would follow.
George Mason University (2022)
In search of more playing time and an opportunity to make an immediate impact, Ahalt transferred to George Mason University in 2022—and he wasted no time proving himself. Starting 45 of 47 games, he posted a stellar .329 batting average with 12 doubles, 2 home runs, and 32 RBIs. He also showed an advanced approach at the plate, drawing 24 walks and finishing with a .414 on-base percentage. His average ranked him among the top 15 hitters in the Atlantic 10 Conference, establishing him as one of the premier offensive threats in the league.
High Point University (2023–2024)
After a standout year at George Mason, Ahalt transferred once more—this time to High Point University—where his game would reach new heights. In 2023, he started all 49 games and led the Panthers in multiple offensive categories, including batting average (.333), home runs (11), RBIs (42), slugging percentage (.575), and stolen bases (13). His 18-game hitting streak, one of the longest in program history, underscored his consistency and ability to produce in high-pressure situations. That season, he was named to the All-Big South Second Team and recognized as one of the most complete outfielders in the conference.
In 2024, Ahalt continued to showcase his tools, hitting .248 with 7 home runs, 26 RBIs, and 7 stolen bases in just 31 games, while posting a perfect fielding percentage in the outfield. His versatility—being able to hit for power, steal bases, and provide defensive stability—made him a critical piece in High Point’s lineup.
Towson University (2025)
In his senior season with the Towson University Tigers, Brett Ahalt delivered a standout performance that showcased both consistency and athleticism. He posted a solid .273 batting average and an impressive .781 slugging percentage, collecting 45 hits, including 13 doubles and 2 home runs. Ahalt drove in 18 runs and crossed the plate 26 times, proving to be a reliable offensive contributor. On the basepaths, he demonstrated sharp instincts and speed, successfully stealing 13 bases in 16 attempts. Defensively and at the plate, he remained disciplined, drawing 5 walks and striking out zero times throughout the season. With a .351 on-base percentage and a .430 fielding percentage, Ahalt rounded out a well-balanced and impactful final collegiate campaign that left a lasting impression on the program.
Brett Ahalt played the game with intensity and intelligence. Offensively, he brought a disciplined approach to the plate, blending bat speed and patience to hit for both average and power. Defensively, he is a confident outfielder with excellent reads, quick jumps, and a strong, accurate arm that deters runners from taking extra bases. His left-handed swing adds value at the plate, especially against right-handed pitching, while his base running instincts allow him to be a constant threat when on base.
Beyond the field, Ahalt is respected as a teammate and leader, which will make a strong impact on coaching the next generation of athletes and our PBP community. His collegiate journey—marked by transfers, setbacks, and triumphs—has shaped him into a mature, resilient athlete who leads by example. His coaches often describe him as “the first one in, last one out” type of player—relentlessly committed to the craft.
As Brett Ahalt transitions to the next level and his coaching career (Towson University Assistant Coach / Pease Baseball Professionals private instructor), he brings with him a deep understanding of the game, proven production against top-tier collegiate competition, and the passion to teach and mentor others. His trajectory continues to rise, and he remains driven by the same core principles that have carried him this far: hard work, humility, and a passion for the game.
Whether it’s stretching a double into a triple, gunning down a runner at the plate, or delivering a clutch hit in a tight game, Brett Ahalt is a difference-maker—and one you’re going to get connected with for private instruction. He specializes in hitting and fielding. Get in touch with him today and begin booking your sessions!
Governor Hogan has announced lifted restrictions on the state of Maryland as a part of phase one of recovery from the COVID19 pandemic. Pease Baseball Academy is excited to re-open on Friday 5/15, biding by state guidelines. As a disclaimer, we do not identify as a gym as mainly all operations occur by appointment only, and there are mainly never more than 5 people inside the building at a time with private instruction only. For the time being we will be limiting all group instruction (IE Live at bats, hitting groups, SNIPE velocity) until further notice since we will be operating at a limited capacity.
Pease Baseball COVID Guidelines for those attending sessions or appointments are available in confirmation texts the day of lessons. If you are specifically interested in our COVID Guidelines please reach out to me direct, and I will send you a link or copy of the guidelines we have set in place until further notice.
I would like to personally thank everyone who has reached out since we have been closed as your support has been greatly appreciated. Looking forward to returning to action and hopefully getting back to some sort of baseball here soon!
Yours in Baseball – stay safe and healthy,
Dustin Pease
