Testimonials
Andy McKay
I have learned so much from Perry. He has a process and he brings it to life everyday. The genius is in the simplicity and the attention to detail from spring training until the last day of the season. He won’t deviate and he doesn’t get bored with the fundamentals.

Orlando Cabrera
He (Perry Hill) is one of the best infield coaches of all time.
Ozzie Guillen
I’ve played for 16 years in the big leagues. Perry Hill has one of the best techniques for coaching infielders. His ideas are outstanding. My kids went from 2nd base to Shortstop because of Perry Hill’s video.
Aaron Boone
I had heard going in, ‘Oh, Perry Hill is a great infield coach. . . .’ And I’m like, how great can an infield coach be? But he really is, man. I just never thought you could teach infield as well as he does. If my son is into baseball when he’s 15 years old, I’m sending him to spend a week with Perry Hill.
Jose Vidro
As a Major League 2nd Baseman, Perry Hill has helped me become a better infielder by practicing his drills.

This will be my 40th year in professional baseball & I’ve been around a lot of great coaches, but I have never, ever been around an infield coach who has as much impact in teaching infield defensive drills and fundamentals as Perry Hill.

He has made a tremendous impact. He’s been a huge part of why our infield and our defense has gotten better.
Mike Lowell
He knows his stuff.
Derrek Lee
What he preaches defensively, what he brings as an infield coach, I’d say he’s worth about 10 to 15 wins a year as a coach.

As far as infield guys, teaching positions and giving guys confidence, he's as good as I've seen.
