Yes, the attachments are old, but his involvement with Deccan is current.

Reading the live updates of recent USA games and that recent blog about the New Zealand coaches' view of the USA senior and U19 teams, fielding is definitely somewhere that they can improve. It is ironic that teams like Australia and Deccan are picking the brain of an American baseball coach but USA needs this training more than most.

It doesn't need to be Mike Young. Surely there are thousands of baseball coaches all over the country who could be consulted. Is this happening?
