MLB Infield Coordinator

To all those aspiring to be a better ballplayer and take your game to the next level… I’m Kenny Holmberg, MLB Field Coordinator for the Texas Rangers. My opportunity and experience in Charlotte NC at the Dirt Bro’s Elite infield camp was amazing! 3 of our MLB coaches and myself left the camp extremely impressed with the attention to detail in developing and owning your routine. The drill work promoted clean actions through thoughtful technique, posture holds, and instruction. The players were able to improve individual and partner-style drills. It was great to see young players establishing and executing infield routines. Just an incredible amount of content and information that was consumable and sticky. What resonated most with me was how Trent and Taber Mongero approached the mental side of the game with a feel and understanding for the campers. Baseball IQ, on-field awareness, and additional excellent resources were provided for the players and parents to become better equipped for the next level of competition.

Trent and Taber Mongero know how to teach the game of baseball. What stands out about Dirt Bro is that it’s not just about running players through drills. It’s about teaching them why they’re doing them and helping them understand how the game is played. For players who want to become better infielders, the attention to fundamentals, footwork, glove work, preparation and the mental side of the game is extremely valuable. Trent brings a tremendous amount of knowledge and passion to his camps, and that kind of instruction can make a real difference in a player’s development. If a player is serious about improving his defensive game and learning how to approach baseball the right way, a Dirt Bro camp is an experience worth having.

Any infielder or baseball coach, at any level, would benefit by listening to and watching Trent Mongero do his magic! His book, videos, and very popular camps are all exceptional. Take the time to delve into his passion, baseball instincts, and infield knowledge and you will take your next steps towards excellence on the diamond!!

This November marks 10 years that our middle school and high school infielders have been attending Coach Mongero’s Elite Infield Camp. After bringing my team for the first time in 2016, I was sold immediately. We haven’t missed a camp since! Hands down, this is the best fundamental infield camp in the USA. For our middle school players, it builds the foundation needed to become elite infielders. For our high school players, it reinforces fundamentals and serves as the perfect accelerator to jumpstart our spring season. What makes this camp unique is the level of detail and instruction. It’s not just about taking ground balls from a fungo. Coach Mongero breaks down every aspect of infield play, including posture, throwing routines, glove work, footwork, and much more. Even more valuable, the drills and techniques we learn at camp become part of our own practice plans throughout the spring, continuing to elevate our players long after the camp ends. Simply put, there’s no better investment in developing infielders than Coach Mongero’s Elite Infield Camp.

The camp she went to this weekend was outstanding. We have spent a lot of time and money on a lot of baseball and softball clinics, camps, private lessons, and workshops over the past 7 years. This weekend we got way more than we paid for. She learned things and got detailed instruction and drills we’ve never seen covered before. I feel like I’ve been a little duped by other camps as she has missed out on the basic fundamentals. Now she has what she needs to work and improve. i just wish we would have gotten with you sooner and went to this camp years ago!

In case you didn’t know you were missed by many as it wasn’t quite the same after your departure. Congratulations on the book as well as the new job in Georgia and good luck on the many years to come in whatever life may bring upon you and your family. We’ll still be rooting for you back here in Wilmington.

After just finishing my college baseball career I’ve finally gotten a chance to take a look back at what happened over the last 4 years. So quickly do we forget where we have been, are going, and how we got there. I have had many teachers, pastors, friends and family help me along the way, but one person really made a difference in my college/baseball career…Trent Mongero(sorry Mom and Dad). Were it not for Coach I would have quit baseball my junior year in high school and then again my junior year in college, but he convinced me to persevere and finish what I had started which in turn were the best four years of my life (to date that is). Coach has a passion that is undeniable for the game, a heart for all of his players, and the desire to make everyone, many times at the expense of himself…BETTER. God places many people in our lives for certain reasons. I feel that Coach has and will be here to spread the gospel, not by reading Bible verses at practice, but through the way that he teaches, plays, and loves his players and the game of baseball on and off the field. Thanks Coach for ALL that you have done for me, you and your family have been such bright lights of faith in a world that can be so tough at times. Good luck with the manual!!!

My son’s aspiration since the age of six has been to join the 12u USA national team.

Consequently, due to the NTIS ID camps hosted by Trent Mongero, my son was identified and approached by multiple representatives from the USA task force.

Ultimately, he was invited to the Regional tryouts in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he performed exceptionally well and was selected as one of 30 kids to represent the Southeast region at the USA Champions Cup in Cary, North Carolina.

For individuals seeking exposure to the USA and a proven elite infielder developmental program, there is no better opportunity. Once you have experienced one Dirt Bro camp, I guarantee that it will not be your last.

I attended multiple Dirt Bro Infield camps as a young high schooler, and attending Mongero’s camps allowed me to understand what it took to play like a professional baseball player, just as Coach Mongero had done himself. He teaches the fundamentals that most coaches gloss over, which ultimately hinders an infielder’s ability to reach their full potential. From teaching the mental game to understanding that you don’t need to be six feet to play division one baseball, to learning what hop to pick at what time, Coach Mongero always provided me with a map on how to improve as a ball player and as a person.
I attended two junior colleges, and getting recruited to a Division I program at five foot seven was not an easy task. However, I was able to separate myself from my competition by implementing Coach Mongero’s tools into my lifestyle. I even came back after high school as a college student to one of Mongero’s camps in North Carolina in order to fine-tune my skills. I would recommend Mongero’s infield camp to people of any age. And the most important thing I learned from Coach is that if you ask anyone if they want to play college baseball, everybody raises their hand. However, statistically, only a few kids make it, and that’s because only a few want it bad enough. Take that first step and learn how to become a pro at a Dirt Bro Infield camp.

WEEKS AGO, I PURCHASED THIS MANUAL FOR MY FAMILY. MY HUSBAND AND I GREW UP PLAYING BALL; HOWEVER, OUR TIME NOW IS SPENT WATCHING OUR CHILDREN PLAY THE GAME. WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN: 2 BOYS AGES 9 AND 5 AND 1 DAUGHTER THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. ALL 3 OF OUR CHILDREN LOVE PLAYING BASEBALL! AS PARENTS, WE HAVE LEARNED IT IS ONE THING TO PLAY THE GAME- IT’S ANOTHER TO TEACH THE GAME TO BE PLAYED CORRECTLY (ESPECIALLY, AT SUCH YOUNG AGES). AS FAR AS PREPARING OUR CHILDREN FOR THEIR “BASEBALL” FUTURE; THIS MANUAL WILL GIVE THEM A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF EVERY ASPECT OF BASEBALL (AND I DO MEAN “EVERY” ASPECT). MY HUSBAND AND I WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH THE DVDS, THE BOOK AND THE PROFESSIONALISM IN WHICH THEY WERE MADE. THE BOOK DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND; WHICH, MAKES IT EASIER FOR OUR CHILDREN TO VISUALIZE THE “CORRECT” MECHANICS. THE DVDS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING “PERSONAL TRAINING”. HAVING THE DVD’S SEPARATED BY “DIFFERENT AGE/SKILL” WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA; BECAUSE, IT ALLOWS YOU TO QUICKLY SELECT ONE TO VIEW THAT WILL MATCH YOUR SPECIFIC LEVEL. EVERY ORGANIZATION THAT IS AFFILIATED WITH BASEBALL ON ANY LEVEL NEEDS TO HAVE THIS MANUAL. COACH MONGERO IS SHARING ESSENTIAL INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT THE VERY FIRST TIME A YOUNG PLAYER STEPS ONTO THE FIELD. THROUGHOUT THE BOOK, COACH MONGERO EVEN GIVES VALUABLE TOOLS IN MAKING COACHES MORE EFFECTIVE. THE MONEY SPENT ON THIS MANUAL IS AN INVESTMENT; BECAUSE, IT WILL ONLY MAKE OUR PLAYERS AND COACHES BETTER “ON AND OFF” THE FIELD! AWESOME JOB!

In recent months, I have had the good fortune to read parts of the manual and to personally meet Trent Mongero. Our community is truly blessed to have such a great man who will not only coach our children, but will also be a good christian role model for them as well. As a travel ball coach, his manual addresses many of the concerns and problems that are associated with youth sports in today’s society. The manual addresses many of the situations that we as parents are scared to ask, and as coaches are scared to address. The manual is a tremendous resource of material for various fundamental drills to help youth become better players. It is especially useful since the drills are age specific and broken into age-appropriate skills. As I have heard Coach Mongero say, he doesn’t claim to know everything about the game, but has taken the time to put into words what he has learned, observed, and been taught about the game of baseball. Baseball is truly the greatest game on earth, and I look forward to all the things that Coach Mongero is going to teach our young men about the game of baseball and the game of life.

“I’ve watched and listened to many coaches in person and on social media over the years. I came across Trent Mongero in 2010 on social media after he authored the “Winning Baseball” Books and Video Series. I was immediately impressed by his knowledge, detail, passion and ability to present and teach his spot on programming.

By circumstance I connected with Trent shortly after at an ABCA National Convention. We spent hours that day talking the game, mainly infield play. I quickly realized Trent’s 3 top priorities; God, family and baseball. Trent is a genuine baseball man. He does not rely on gimmicks or fancy eye catching drills. He focuses on things that actually make a player better in the game, while building critical confidence. He comes at you with pure baseball instruction that produces results. Simply put, Trent  is a baseball specialist.

As a former MLB infielder and the father of a talented young D1 signed infielder, I never let anyone coach him defensively. That was my job. Until I met Trent. My youngest son has attended 3 Trent Mongero camps over the years! Trent deserves credit for being a part of my son’s development and commitment to a D1 baseball program.

Trent, along with his son Taber are pure baseball gold. Attending a TM2 Dirt Bro Elite Infield Academy/camp is a must. You have my word. It will take you game to the next level.”
