Urbano Lugo Jr. debuted in the Major Leagues in 1985 and spent decades traveling the world of professional baseball — from the Angels and the Tigers to international leagues in Mexico and Taiwan.
In Venezuela, he was a cornerstone of the Leones del Caracas and threw a historic no-hitter. In 2009, he was inducted into the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame.
Today, after more than 10 years working in Houston — including 4 years at Houston Hustlers Baseball Academy — Urbano dedicates his experience to what he’s most passionate about: developing young athletes with professional-level fundamentals and lifelong values.
Planting a passion and coaching youth baseball with a professional foundation.
Personalized training that combines high-level baseball fundamentals with an approach tailored to each player’s age and development.
Urbano’s strongest area. Mechanics, control, velocity, and pitcher’s mindset — built on the same foundation taught in Major League organizations.
Complete training beyond the mound. Hitting fundamentals, defensive positioning, and game-reading skills for well-rounded athletes.
One-on-one sessions tailored to each player’s level and age. Progress happens at your own pace, with Urbano’s direct attention and professional methodology.
There are plenty of trainers out there. Few have played in the Major Leagues, coached in an MLB organization, and developed players in Houston for decades.
This isn't theory. Urbano lived high-performance baseball from the inside for decades — as a player and as a pitching coach in a Major League organization.
The same fundamentals taught in MLB organizations, translated for youth development. Your child learns baseball the way the pros do.
Discipline, work ethic, respect, and responsibility. Urbano develops the whole athlete — because baseball builds people, not just players.
This isn't a coach passing through. Urbano has spent over a decade in the Houston community, knows the local landscape, and has trained players throughout the city.
Limited spots available.
