Meet our founder and coach
Discover the vision, passion, and coaching philosophy behind Indy Grind, and learn what makes our team a unique experience for young baseball players.
Coach Christian Montgomery
Indy Grind was born from a lifelong passion for youth player development and coaching right here in Indianapolis, IN. As someone drafted by the New York Mets in 2011, I wanted to bring that knowledge and experience back to the youth athletes in my hometown. My biggest dream is to see our team play on a national stage one day, empowering each player to take their baseball dreams as far as they desire.
Coaching for life, not just the game
My coaching style is focused on reaching every single player and instilling in them the importance of the grind, dedication, and hard work, both on and off the field. Beyond baseball skills, I aim to teach valuable life lessons that will serve them well in all aspects of their future. It's about developing character as much as it is about developing athletes.
Why Indy Grind is a unique experience
Indy Grind is a special team because we are family-first oriented. We believe in creating memorable experiences and fostering competitiveness done with class and respect for the game. When you join Indy Grind, you're not just joining a team; you're becoming part of a supportive community dedicated to growth, sportsmanship, and lasting memories.
"The dedication and passion of the Indy Grind coaching staff are unmatched. They truly care about developing young athletes into well-rounded individuals."
