Scott has been a member of AYRA since 1989. He started as a dad working the score book and like most others, was a little hesitant to step up to coach. After a couple of years he took the giant leap of faith and was an assistant coach for four years. He then moved up to run teams as a head coach for seven years, coaching full time travel teams through 18 & under.

In 2005, he was fortunate enough to be recognized by the Montgomery County Baseball Association as their Coach of the Year in the senior division. Scott was also the assistant J.V. coach at Hammond High in 2001 and 2002.

Since leaving coaching, Scott has worked on educating other coaches by organizing coaches clinics, adopting an AYRA Minimum Required Teachings Program for all age levels, working with Coach Lerner of Hammond High in making a pitching video for players and coaches, and is currently lobbying anyone that will listen that the "Mike Epstein Hitting Method" is a far superior hitting method than any other method he has seen. Says Scott, "If it's good enough for 90% of ALL Hall of Famers in Cooperstown, it's certainly good enough for AYRA!"
