“FungoMan has revolutionized the way practices are held for Evangel Christian Academy State Champions.”—Tim Hulett, Evangel Christian Academy, Head Coach

Tim Hulett spent years as a professional baseball player with the Baltimore Orioles organization. Today, as head coach of the 2006 Louisiana State Champions at Evangel Christian Academy, Tim has been a active participant in FungoMan’s development and product testing.

Hulett’s state high school champions have seen dramatic differences because of the teaching techniques offered by the FungoMan Automated Practice Machine. “This machine is worth its weight in gold,” Hulett explains."The precision involved with ball placement has offered my coaching staff an unlimited amount of drills that we can now use in all of the practices. Most people measure success by the results of the game. True success can be measured by the process in which you practice. If excellence in practice is prioritized, then game results will take care of themselves.”

Romy Cucjen, President of FungoMan, Inc., and ex-head coach of Evangel, knows firsthand the difficulties of hitting precise grounders to infielders. “The biggest problem for any coach is that when you’re hitting balls to these young players, you’re really not coaching.” Hulett agrees: “When you’re just hitting balls, you become the machine. It is a relief to be able to coach more effectively, FungoMan has made a remarkable difference in our baseball team.”
