In 2012 Jon was drafted in the 4th round by the Cincinnati Reds and led the Cincinnati organization in strikeouts in 2014. Jon went on to make his Major League Debut in June of 2015 and pitched parts of 2 seasons for the MLB club. Jon also has pitched for Team Israel in International competition most recently being the opening starter in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Upon retiring from his playing days Jon was the AAA pitching coach for the Louisville Bats in 2019, utilizing a new age skillset of data integration, blended with real world experience and a uniquely powerful coaching style. He currently operates a private coaching business. With a deep skill set, knowledge, and passion for the game, Jon has helped more than 35 athletes in the Sacramento area over the last five years earn Division 1 athletic scholarships to programs such as Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Cal Poly, UCLA, USC, Nevada, Sacramento State, TCU, UCSB, Davis, Long Beach, Pepperdine, among many others. He maintains strong relationships with a wide network of college head coaches and recruiting coordinators, giving his players valuable exposure and runs a recruiting service to help bridge the gap for athletes he works with. Beyond that, countless other athletes he has trained have gone on to play college baseball at various levels. Jon brings a fresh perspective and a modern, forward-thinking approach to teaching the game, and he is excited to share it with all those attending the clinic this winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622110795e5f58477284319b/8b2d0593-25e6-492e-bd42-cf338af21897/bsb.23-24.AC_JoshMorton.jpg Instructors - Make it stand out Josh Morton Josh Morton brings more than two decades of high-level coaching experience and an accomplished playing background to the field, making him a tremendous resource and mentor for developing baseball players. Josh is currently an assistant coach with Sierra College Baseball, one of Northern California’s most established and successful community college baseball programs. The Wolverines have built a tradition of competing at the highest level of California community college baseball, including a 2008 State Championship and State Championship Tournament appearances in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2023, and 2025. In 2025, Sierra captured the 3C2A Northern California Championship and advanced to the four-team California State Championship tournament. Josh has played an important role in that tradition. He has served multiple stretches on the Sierra College coaching staff, from 2003–2010, 2014–2019, and 2022–present. Most notably, Josh was part of the coaching staff that helped lead Sierra to the 2008 California Community College State Championship, one of the signature accomplishments in the program’s history. He was also on staff during Sierra’s 2025 run to the State Final Four, when the Wolverines finished 33–16, won the Northern California championship, and earned another opportunity to compete for a state title. Josh’s coaching experience extends well beyond Sierra College. He has been involved with The Rock Baseball Club for many years and has coached travel baseball since 2005, working with athletes ranging from developing youth players to high school players preparing for the college level. He currently works with the Sierra Nevada Wolves and continues coaching high school players during the summer with The Rock Baseball Club. At the high school level, Josh coached at Placer High School, helping guide the program to the 2012 Pioneer Valley League Championship and a Sac-Joaquin Section finalist appearance. His coaching background also includes time at Del Campo High School as well as with the Kelowna Falcons of the West Coast League in British Columbia. These experiences have given Josh the opportunity to work with athletes at nearly every stage of player development. Josh’s knowledge of the game is also rooted in an outstanding playing career. As a young player, he was selected as a 1994 AAU All-American and was a member of the 1995 Area Code Team representing the San Francisco Giants. At Del Campo High School, he helped his team win the 1995 Sac-Joaquin Division I Championship and earned recognition on the Sacramento Bee All-Metro Team. Josh continued his career at Cal Poly, where he pitched on scholarship in the Big West Conference. During his collegiate career, he established the school record for career pitching appearances with 87 games, demonstrating the durability, consistency, and competitiveness that would later become important parts of his coaching philosophy. Following college, Josh continued playing professionally as a left-handed pitcher for the Kelowna Heat of the Canadian Baseball League, adding professional experience to an already extensive baseball background. Today, Josh brings all of those experiences together as a coach. His approach goes beyond simply teaching players how to throw harder or improve their mechanics. He emphasizes proper movement, arm health, repeatable mechanics, confidence, competitiveness, and long-term player development. Having coached players from youth baseball through the college level, Josh understands that every athlete develops differently and that successful instruction must be tailored to the individual. Most importantly, Josh cares deeply about the athletes he works with. His goal is to help young players develop the skills and habits necessary to stay healthy, maximize their potential, and continue playing baseball for as long as their talent and aspirations allow. For players hoping to compete at the high school or college level, Josh offers not only technical knowledge but also decades of experience within successful programs and a firsthand understanding of what it takes to advance to the next level. https://www.ambaseballcamps.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622110795e5f58477284319b/91e882d4-594e-4c6f-b71e-ed433ce76739/ChatGPT+Image+Aug+25%2C+2026%2C+08_35_13+AM.png About - What to Expect: Structured Throwing Progression November and December are not about throwing as hard or as much as possible. The goal is to progressively build the arm so athletes are prepared for the increased throwing demands that come with the start of the spring season. Throwing volume, distance and intensity will build throughout the program based on age, throwing history and where each athlete is in his development. We want players building at the right time without accumulating unnecessary fatigue before their season even begins. Arm Care, Strength and Durability A major emphasis of the clinic is developing the strength and stability needed to support a healthy throwing arm. Athletes will work through arm care, shoulder and elbow strength, total-body strength, mobility and movement work designed specifically around the demands of throwing. The goal is not just to prepare the arm to throw harder, but to build a stronger and more durable athlete heading into a long spring and summer. Throwing Mechanics and Movement Athletes will work on their throwing mechanics throughout the program with an emphasis on efficient movement, direction, sequencing and intent. R ather than trying to overhaul every athlete's delivery, our staff will identify individual areas that can help each player move more efficiently and get the most out of his body as throwing intensity increases. Long Toss and Higher-Intent Throwing As athletes progress through the program, throwing will gradually advance into long toss, higher-intent work and, when appropriate, mound or position-specific throwing. We are intentional about when these progressions are introduced. The objective is to have athletes prepared for the next phase of their throwing program without rushing intensity simply because the spring season is approaching. Individualized Workload and Progression Every athlete enters the winter in a different place. Some have played deep into the fall, some need a period of reduced throwing, and others need more time to build. We will help athletes understand when to back off, when to build and how much throwing is appropriate based on where they are in their progression. This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Pitcher and Position Player Development This program is designed for both pitchers and position players. While the throwing demands are different, both groups need arm strength, efficient mechanics and a properly built throwing base heading into the spring. Pitchers will progressively work toward mound readiness, while position players will build toward the volume, intensity and positional throwing demands of their season. Three Age-Specific Groups A 7th grader should not train or throw the same way as a senior preparing for his final high school season. Athletes will be separated into three groups: 7th–8th Grade 9th–10th Grade 11th–12th Grade Grouping athletes this way allows us to maintain the integrity of the clinic and appropriately adjust throwing volume, intensity, strength work and expectations based on age, physical development and ability. Proven Development Environment Over the last three winters, 10+ athletes from our programs have gone on to commit to Division I baseball, with many more continuing their careers at other levels of college baseball. We're proud of those results, but the biggest priority of this program remains the same: help athletes enter the spring healthy, prepared and physically ready for the most important competitive months of their year. Pricing $425 for full 2 months Additional Notes This program is designed to prepare athletes for their spring season through structured throwing, strength and arm care development. Athletes will be grouped by grade level: 7th–8th, 9th–10th and 11th–12th grade. Throwing volume and intensity will vary based on age, throwing history and individual progression. Space is limited and registration is capped within each age group to maintain program quality. Spots are filled on a first come, first served basis.
