Our Mission & Method

At 3Ple Play Sports, our coaches are passionate about helping their students improve their skills and become the best versions of themselves.

We want to instill in our students the values that feed success far beyond their time playing baseball.

In our lessons, we teach:

Hard Work

Confidence

Calm Under Pressure

Positive Mindsets

Respect

We do all this while also pumping up our students with excitement to learn and play. We know a player’s mindset contributes to everything they do both in and out of the game. We strive to be friends and mentors. Our lives have been impacted by good coaches and we are honored to have the opportunity to do the same for our players.

And we have the stats to prove it

History

Our Story

Angel and Steven on a BusCo-owners Steven Mateo and Angel Genao both signed as professional baseball players with the Anaheim Angel’s in the Dominican Republic and saw their dreams come true as they came to the US and played together. Their bond grew as they were not only teammates and friends, but they also lived together as roommates. During their off season they would teach some private lessons at others' batting cages and started to feel like teaching might be something they would both really enjoy. After Mateo was released from the angels in 2017 he decided to move to Utah and teach. Genao followed shortly after in 2018 to the calls and requests of Mateo to join him.

Why Utah?

You may wonder… Why settle in Utah of all places? Firstly, they both played here for the Orem Owlz. Secondly, after traveling through and playing in many different states, mostly in small towns in the West and Mid-west, they both were attracted to Utah for many reasons. They love the mountains, the amenities of the city-suburb areas, the closeness to outdoor recreation, but most of all they love the PEOPLE and the culture of Utah. They can’t talk enough about how Utah people are so welcoming, hardworking, and talented. They felt it would be a great place to have and raise their families.

Kristin Van Tassell

Angel and Mateo are awesome! They truly care for the boys they coach, and treat them like their own sons! Both Mateo and Angel played professional baseball, and they really know their stuff. My boys' fielding, pitching, and batting have immensly improved since starting with 3ple batting. They have my highest recommendation!

Joaquin Jimenez

Forget about the fact that that Mateo and Angel are former pro players and teach with strategy amd skill. Above and beyond that they care. They care about the kids they teach and coach, their parents. It is a fun, hardworking and a learning performance environment because of who they are. The only way to know is to go. We've been taking our son for several years...
