My name is Joey Gluck and I grew up playing baseball in Chicago, IL. I played competitively throughout my youth and continued through high school, developing a strong foundation in the game both mentally and physically. My primary position is catcher, a role that shaped my leadership skills, game awareness, and understanding of pitching staffs and defensive strategy.
After high school, I attended Indiana University, where I earned a degree in Marketing and Business Analytics. My educational background, combined with my playing experience, has helped me take an analytical and detail-oriented approach to player development, focusing not only on fundamentals but also on situational awareness, preparation, and performance growth.
I have 7 years of travel baseball coaching experience, working with athletes to develop their skills, confidence, and understanding of the game. Throughout my coaching career, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor players at various age levels, helping them improve their mechanics, baseball IQ, and overall approach. As a coach, I am passionate about creating a positive, high-energy learning environment while challenging athletes to reach their full potential.
Through my years in baseball, I’ve learned that development goes beyond physical ability — it’s about mindset, discipline, and consistency. My goal is to pass along the knowledge and experience I’ve gained to young athletes who are serious about improving and who truly love the game.

Edge Baseball Cancellation Policy
Edge Baseball Academy has implemented a new policy in regard to the cancellation of private/ group baseball lessons.
This new policy will be a structured way for Edge Baseball and our customers to control the cancellation of lessons while still allowing for unexpected events and sickness. Please read the below information about the changes in our program's cancellation policy.
24 Hour Notice
The policy states that any scheduled lesson may be cancelled without penalty if done so at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled time by the client or the instructor.
Less Than 24 Hour Notice
Clients will be allowed two (2) short- notice cancellations without penalty within a one year period. After that you will be automatically charged for the lesson. If Edge Baseball Academy staff makes a scheduling error or calls to cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the scheduled time this will count against that instructor. Edge Baseball staff is also allowed two (2) scheduling errors/ last minute cancellations within one year period. Any cancellations/ scheduling errors after this will result in a lesson credit to your account.
No Show Policy
Any lesson that you do not show up for without contacting the instructor prior to the lesson time will automatically be charged as a lesson.
