About the Coach
Meet Coach Myles
Baseball has been part of my life for over 20 years. A Long Beach native, I played college ball in West Los Angeles before my talent took me to Florida, where my playing career was based. A former semi-pro, I'm back home now, and my passion is helping young athletes build confidence, develop their skills, and learn what it takes to succeed both on and off the field. I've coached private lessons for six years, and I'm also the head coach of the 13U Los Alamitos Bombers.
I specialize in private, one-on-one instruction for players ages 8–18 — hitting, fielding, throwing mechanics, baseball IQ, and the mental side of the game — in a positive environment where athletes improve their fundamentals and compete with confidence.
MBM Baseball Training is Coach Myles Berniard-Mendez's own coaching business, not a facility or a multi-coach academy. Every private lesson is 1-on-1 with Myles himself.

What Parents Say
“I can’t say enough good things about Coach Myles. My son picked up baseball late, and he needed support catching up to his peers. My son went from never throwing a baseball to being able to play catch with his peers, pitching, starting game-changing rallies for his team, and making big catches for the team. What u really appreciate is that Myles sees each individual kid and tweaks what is already working (or not), rather than having a “my way or the highway” approach. This helped my son have buy-in and see both quick results and a goal to work towards. My son not only learned the mechanics of the sport with coach, but now understands the strategy behind the game and important plays, and, most importantly, LOVES the sport.”
“Coach Myles has really helped my 14-year old son become a better pitcher. He’s encouraging, professional and knowledgeable. He has given my son skills to add velocity, correct technique and has boosted my son’s overall confidence. We appreciate everything he has done for us!”
“I signed up my 10 year old for some pitching and hitting lessons from coach Miles. Wasn't sure what to expect since it's our first time having a private coach, but he exceeded our expectations! His words are very encouraging which helped a lot with my son's confidence. I started with a 10 lessons package and I can definitely say my son improved greatly toward the end compared to when he had the first free lesson with coach Miles. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a great personal coach!”
“Awesome experience! Great coaching, a positive atmosphere, and a genuine focus on helping players improve. The sessions are both fun and productive, and you can tell they really care about each athlete's development. Highly recommend!”
“Coach Myles at MBM Baseball Coaching is awesome! He knows how to make every lesson fun while still helping players get better every time they step on the field. His energy is contagious, and he always keeps things positive and encouraging. If you want to level up your game and actually have fun doing it, Coach Myles is the coach to see!”
Before You Start
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents ask before the first lesson.
What ages do you train?
Players ages 8–18 — from first-timers learning the fundamentals to high-school athletes preparing to compete at the next level.
Where do lessons take place?
Wherever you and your player are comfortable — fields and parks across Long Beach and all of Orange County, from Huntington Beach and Irvine down to Dana Point and San Clemente (roughly a 50-mile service area). See the areas we serve →
Is the first lesson really free?
Yes, at our standard locations (local fields and parks). Your first 30-minute lesson is free so you and your player can experience the coaching firsthand, with zero risk, before choosing a package. It can be in person or by video call (FaceTime or similar), and it's one per family. It isn't offered at the private facility.
Are lessons one-on-one or in groups?
Private lessons are always one-on-one — built entirely around your player's specific goals, strengths, and the areas they most need to improve. Coach Myles also runs team lessons and clinics for groups of 12–30 players.
Will my child work directly with Coach Myles?
Yes. MBM Baseball Training is Coach Myles Berniard-Mendez's own coaching business, not a facility or a multi-coach academy. Every private lesson is 1-on-1 with Myles himself. He runs team lessons and clinics himself too, with the team providing adult supervisors.
What do you coach?
Hitting, fielding, throwing mechanics, baseball IQ, and the mental game — with a strong focus on the mental side as the foundation everything else is built on.
What are your rates and packages?
Options range from single sessions up to the full Elite Season Program (roughly $55–$1,650). Single sessions at the private facility are $20 more, and package prices for both locations are listed in the Packages section above. You can also reach out to Coach Myles directly about custom packages.
What should my player bring to a lesson?
A glove, hat, and cleats, plus shorts or baseball pants — and water to stay hydrated.
How do I book, reschedule, or cancel?
Claim your free first lesson through the booking section above, or text/call directly. Coach Myles usually replies within about an hour during business hours. Single sessions: give at least 48 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel — cancellations inside 48 hours are charged 50% of the session cost, and no-shows are charged in full. Package sessions: reschedule with at least 24 hours' notice; with less notice, or a no-show, the session counts as used.
What's Coach Myles's background?
A Long Beach native, Coach Myles Berniard-Mendez played college ball in West Los Angeles before his talent took him to Florida, where his playing career was based. A former semi-pro with 20+ years in the game and six years of private coaching, he is also the head coach of the 13U Los Alamitos Bombers.
