Shaun Walker
No shortcuts. Next Level Softball is built on biomechanics, data collection, motion capture, and individualized programming based on an athlete's movement profile.
20+ years of coaching & pitching development
Shaun's journey in pitching development spans over two decades, beginning with a personal mission to help his daughter, Emilee. Through his guidance, Emilee became a standout four-year scholarship pitcher at the collegiate level; today, she continues that legacy alongside him as a coach in the academy.
Together, they have mentored hundreds of students, consistently producing pitchers who excel at the next level year in and year out — drawing athletes from over 30 states and Canada who travel to refine their mechanics and find their edge.
Fueled by a relentless passion for learning, Shaun is constantly seeking out the latest pitching and movement certifications, ensuring his athletes benefit from the most advanced training methodologies available.
Emilee Walker
Collegiate pitcher & academy coach
A four-year scholarship pitcher at the collegiate level, Emilee grew up inside the Next Level system. Today she coaches alongside her father, bringing a player's perspective to every session.

Data replaces
guesswork.
Every session is sensor-driven. Every program is built from biomechanical data, not assumption. Six integrated systems capture what the naked eye misses.
What they
report.
Shaun is my premier resource for pitching advice, offering a level of expertise so profound he could lead a six-hour master class and I would be on the edge of my seat the entire time. Rather than a cookie-cutter approach, he provides genuinely tailored guidance that identifies and develops the unique potential within every individual pitcher.
If you're looking for a pitching coach who will teach your daughter how to maximize her performance while also helping avoid injuries, run don't walk to get on Shaun Walker's schedule. As a long-time pitching coach myself I learn new things from him practically every day.
Coach Shaun is a very dedicated coach that takes pride in understanding his students' strengths and weaknesses to give them the best opportunity to succeed. He is also very dedicated to helping his colleagues understand his findings to better prepare their students.
The improvement in Charlotte's pitching has been clear — she's gained speed, but more importantly she's become a more efficient and confident pitcher. There's nothing cookie-cutter about his approach — everything from her throwing routine to her workouts is tailored specifically to her.
Shaun is without a doubt one of the very top instructors in this country. He is research-based in his pursuit of the development of young pitchers and his pitching facility is more of a laboratory, not just a place to pitch. He has the unique ability to tailor development to fit a pitcher's personal movement profile.
Shaun has an elite understanding of biomechanics and how the human body transfers energy efficiently through movement. He doesn't rely on opinion alone — he uses advanced technology and performance data to verify what he teaches and to track athlete development. His results and track record speak for themselves.
