Frank Menechino: Hitting Coach for the Miami Marlins and Former MLB player

Mr Lotito recently caught up with longtime friend and training partner Frank Menechino at a Marlins vs Rays game on June 5, 2014. Frank Menechino (men-eh-kee-no) was drafted out of the University of Alabama in 1993 by the Chicago White Sox (45th round). He went on to play with Oakland (1999-2004) and Toronto (2004-05). He also, played baseball at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, FL. He is currently the hitting coach for the Miami Marlins and specifically Giancarlo Stanton, who is said to have hit more 450 ft Home Runs than ANY MLB Team!

Jose Oquendo: MLB coach, Former Player and World Baseball Classic Manager

Mr Lotito received personal instruction in hitting mechanics from Cardinal third base coach José Oquendo who is a former Major League Baseball infielder and the current third base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also served as manager of the team representing Puerto Rico in the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classic. (pictured in the St. Louis Cardinals underground complex).

Jason Marquis: MLB All-Star Pitcher, St. Louis Cardinals World Series Winner & MLB All-Star

Jason Marquis worked out with Road Warrior Sports Trainer Ryan Lotito while Jason was a 1st round pick in the Atlanta Braves system. Jason has accomplished so much in his young professional career.

Ryan recalls the days when he picked Jason Marquis (pictured at left with Ryan Lotito) up from his Staten Island NY home and personally drove him to his college facility for a workout. "I use to catch his bullpen with no equipment just a catcher's mitt.", laughs Lotito. "Jason is a work horse and always separated himself with his professionalism and dedication to excellence both on and off the ball field. I have been around plenty of Big Leaguers and Jason will always be a role model for all he has done on and off the diamond. I wish him and his family the very best always."

Bronson Arroyo: World Series Winner and MLB Pitcher for the AZ Diamondbacks

Derek Jeter: World Series Winner and NYY Shortstop

Ryan Lotito's passion & dedication for professional athletics, baseball & exercise science goes way back to 1996 and even before. He was honored to be present at Yankee legend & future 1st ballot hall of famer Derek Jeter's Rookie of the Year party held in NYC in 1996 following Derek Jeter winning his 1st World Series and the very start of his magical Big League career. Ryan had the opportunity to sit down 1 on 1 with Derek to discus the outstanding season he had, baseball training and the importance of running a (7.0 seconds or better) 60 yard dash. It was a memorable experience that he will never forget. He recalls coming home to his family and telling them "I just met the new Babe Ruth of the Yankees!"

2016 District Champs

2016 Florida Prep Scout:

I don't know if anyone has seen Lotito pitch for Nature Coast but that kid is the real deal. When you look at him you would never think he is as good as he is. He plays like he is 6'5 - 240. His pitching stat line for the 2016 Prep season is an eye popping 5-0 with 3 saves all against the top teams. He would actually be 6-0 if the Sharks didn't let one slip by the 2nd game of the season.

The speedy 2nd baseman/RHP who has been remarkable with the glove also scored 25 runs has now gotten on the radar of top D1 schools who love what they see. One report stated Lotito is a complete baseball player with a very high baseball IQ & the ability to impact a game in many different ways regardless of his size.

Because of his size, ability to perform under pressure & prove critics wrong Lotito has drawn comparisons to one of his favorite MLB players Marcus Stroman type of 2 way ability at the Division 1 level.

Six times this year he has brought the Sharks back to win on the mound with 3 Big saves in what some people would call pressure situations.

To Lotito it's like he has ice water in his veins. He seems to thrive under pressure in the biggest moments.
