Arm Care & Pitcher Safety
We Protect Young Arms.
Winning a youth game is never worth risking a young player's arm. Volt follows MLB & USA Baseball Pitch Smart guidelines and builds arm care into everything we do.
Pitch Counts & Mandatory Rest
We track every pitcher's count each game and enforce age-based limits and required rest days between outings following MLB & USA Baseball Pitch Smart. Fatigue is a hard stop; no one pitches a tired arm.
Daily Arm-Care Routine
Every player follows a purposeful throwing progression with dynamic warm-ups, band work, and recovery on our arm-care wall and athletic-development area — building durable, resilient arms over time.
Safety is priority
We will never risk a young player's arm or their future to win a youth game. Long-term health and growth come first, every practice and every game.

Mike Dato
Mike Dato attended Oswego High School, where he played baseball for all four years, primarily as a catcher and corner infielder. He was part of one of the most successful teams in school history during his senior year, though they fell short in the Regional tournament.
He then committed to Monmouth College to study Exercise Science and play baseball under Coach Betourne for the Fighting Scots. Like every freshman, he learned a great deal and earned a starting position as a designated hitter during his sophomore year. It was at this point in his career that he realized he was embarking on something significant. He finished that year with a batting average of just over .320, hitting 8 home runs and driving in 39 RBIs. That same year, the team won their conference and secured a spot in the NCAA Regional tournament, their first appearance in over 20 years.
Following this season, he was invited to the 2019 Pre-Draft workout with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was still transitioning between positions at this point but began to lean more towards first base, where he would play for the remainder of his career at Monmouth. During his time there, he achieved several milestones:
- ABCA 1st Team All-Region (2018)
- 2nd Team All-Conference (2019)
- 1st in career Home Runs (19)
- 1st in career Hit By Pitch (29)
- 1st in Single Game RBIs (8)
- 4th in Career RBIs (108)
He finished his college career with a .300 batting average, a .500 slugging percentage, and a .395 on-base percentage, as well as a .986 fielding percentage.
After his college career, he was fortunate enough to play at the professional level, beginning in New York for the Empire League, where he attended his first spring training. He later played in the PECOS League for the Tucson Saguaros. Unfortunately, due to injuries, his playing career ended there.
Ernesto “Ernie” Alvarez
With a background in both high-level baseball and fastpitch softball, Coach Ernesto “Ernie” Alvarez brings a unique versatility to player development. A true student of the game, his ambidextrous abilities allowed him to play eight different positions. As a switch-hitter, he pitched and played the outfield left-handed, while playing the middle infield and third base right-handed. This extensive playing experience forms the foundation of his career in coaching and instruction.
Coach Alvarez’s impressive resume includes 25 years of high school coaching experience at programs like Marmion, St. Rita, and Brother Rice. He has also coached for 13 years in high-level travel ball with organizations such as the IL Spark and Bo Jackson Elite Sports, and his expertise extends to the international level, having coached the USA LABC team in the Dominican Republic for three years.
Throughout his career, he has instructed and developed hundreds of athletes who have gone on to play at the collegiate level, with numerous players reaching Minor League and even Major League Baseball. Coach Alvarez’s coaching style emphasizes fundamentals, a strong mental approach to hitting and fielding, and is tailored to all levels of baseball and softball.
Furthermore, Coach Alvarez is fully bilingual and proud to offer high-quality instruction in Spanish, ensuring clear communication and comfortable learning environments for all athletes.
Kevin Cunz
A former collegiate pitcher with a true passion for player development, Coach Kevin Cunz brings a unique blend of calm intensity and detailed instruction. His philosophy is simple: build the complete competitor, not just the pitcher.
From young players learning to toe the rubber to elite arms preparing for the next level, Coach Cunz’s approach is grounded in three pillars: repeatable mechanics, diligent arm care, and unshakable mental resilience. He expertly blends modern pitching analytics and vision training with game-like situations, ensuring that every lesson learned in the bullpen translates directly to confidence and command on the mound.
More than an instructor, Coach Cunz is a mentor dedicated to fostering growth. In his structured and supportive sessions, athletes don’t just learn what to do—they learn why.
