About me and Resume
Welcome to my about me and resume section where you will find information about me and my reputation of developing young athletes.
About Me
My name is Tobey Rigsby and I am a baseball coach here in the greater Chicagoland Area. Growing up I knew my passion was for baseball. Once I graduated and was done playing my passion quickly turned to passing down knowledge and wisdom that I've accumulated over the years. I was a 3 sport athlete who grew up in a small farming town and have lived in Chicago for the greater part of eight years now. My greatest strength is my ability to work with anyone from any background. I believe I have much to offer the next generation of baseball players and am excited to work with those who share the same passion and excitement as I do.
