Coach J.D. Martin brings a wealth of experience and heart to the Nevada Sports Academy family. A first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Indians and former Major League Baseball pitcher for the Washington Nationals, Coach Martin has played the game at the highest level—both in the U.S. and internationally.

But for Coach Martin, coaching isn’t about chasing trophies or titles. It’s about one thing: helping young athletes get better.

With a deep understanding of what it takes to compete and grow in this game, Coach Martin focuses on developing skills, confidence, and baseball IQ in a supportive, team-first environment. His goal is to guide each player toward reaching their potential, both on and off the field.
