Felix Vigil
I went to St. Mary’s High School in Stockton. After I graduated from high school in 1989, I was drafted by the Detroit Tigers organization. I played minor league ball for 6 years in Florida and Iowa. I was married, and we had a son and a daughter. My son went to Oregon State University and played football. My daughter went to Adams St. and Colorado St. She is currently a junior at Sacramento State and plays softball.
I’ve coached travel ball for Batbusters Gomes for the last ten years. I have coached 16s and 18s with the Batbusters. We are an extremely competitive team. In 2022, I was on the coaching staff when we won PGF nationals. I also coached varsity high school softball at St. Mary’s High School in Stockton. I have done lessons in the Stockton area. I have relocated to the Roseville area. I’m excited to join the K club team. I have been coaching for over 15 years. Coaching is my passion. I have been fortunate to play baseball on the professional level and coach travel ball at its highest level. I feel one of my strengths is the ability to coach and communicate with all levels of play and ages of youth. If you’re just starting out or looking to take your hitting to the next level, I feel confident I will be able to help your daughter or son. I look forward to meeting you and working with your daughter or son with hitting.
