Yuery Valera

Yuery comes to us from the St. Louis Cardinals organization, where he was the Rookie of the year for the Johnson City cardinals in 2006 with a record of 14 saves, the most by a Cardinal rookie since 2001 in the Appala chian league. While there, Yuery worked under Pitching Coach Dave Duncan who consider among the best pitching coaches in major league baseball. This experienced proved valuable as he learned the Cardinal’s approach to training young players and how they approached winning as a team. During the 2006 season, Yuery learned a lot from Coach Duncan about pitching and training, and at the end of the season was awarded both Pitcher of the Year and Rookie of the year for Johnson City Cardinals.

Bringing this experience home he went on to develop the Future Pros Program for high school and college level players. This program, which he developed and ran in association with 2 trainers (former AAA players, Twins and Reds organizations), trained on average 15 players per week, including 5 players who advanced to Division 1 College programs and one who was drafted / signed by LA Dodgers.

Yuery was also the Assistant manager of the NYC Metros for two seasons. As the manager the team improved from a 3 and 7 record to 9 and 1. They became one of the best teams in the NYC area.

During the 2009 season, he acted as Assistant manager for the 11 years old Skyscrapers baseball team. By adding several players from the Bronx they became one of the most diverse teams in NYC. The team won the Caribbean Little League World Series and the 11u Verdero tournament. The team became one of the best team in the league. They had best record in Westchester County.

Yuery will be heading up the baseball instructional program at Randall’s Island Golf Center.
