About

The garage,
the coaches,
the work.

Two coaches, one garage, a club for ballplayers who want to do the work. Every session recorded. A practice plan that follows you home. Bonney Lake, WA.

Why GBB

We're not a performance academy. We're a club for ballplayers who want to do the work.

Coach Andy and Coach Dylan have been coaching kids in Bonney Lake for years — Little League, summer ball, the team they're coaching right now. The same families kept asking the same question between practices: can my kid get more reps with you outside the team?

GBB is the answer. Private lessons out of Dylan's garage. Every rep filmed. A personalized practice plan in your inbox within 48 hours. Transparent pricing — right on the website. No team commitment. No facility prices.

The Coaches

Different specialties. Same standard.

Coach Andy Layman

Coach Andy Layman

Players 12+ · HS Prep

Andy played shortstop through Ellensburg High School before earning a spot at Central Washington University, where his coach moved him to center field — the team already had an All-American at short, and Andy's speed and arm were a better fit out there (2006–2008). Along the way he competed for the Columbia Basin Riverdogs and the Yakima Valley Pepsi Pak.

He started coaching while still in college — Ellensburg High School from 2008 to 2010, plus summer ball with the Cle Elum Lumberjacks. The last three years he's coached at Bonney Lake-Sumner Little League.

Andy's coaching philosophy is straightforward: build confidence, get consistent reps, and meet each kid where they actually are. Mental toughness gets equal weight — in a game where failing 60% of the time still makes you elite, the inside game matters as much as the swing.

What he loves most is the unlock moment — when a kid who didn't know what they should be doing suddenly feels what a great swing is supposed to feel like.

Coach Dylan Winner

Coach Dylan Winner

Players 5–12 · Defensive Foundations

Bio in progress — Dylan grew up behind the plate and has spent years coaching the youngest players in Bonney Lake. He's the warm, fundamentals-first half of the duo.

Full bio coming soon. In the meantime, ask Coach Dylan about defensive footwork or the right way to set a target — he'll talk your ear off in the best way.

The Motto
If it's not fun,
we're not winning.

    Always Improving

    If we aren't improving, why are we here?

    Be a Good Teammate

    It matters more in the game of life to be a good teammate than the best player on the team.

    Baseball is a game. Let's make sure it stays one.

The garage at Garage Built Baseball
The Garage

Two nets. Multiple tees. Real reps.

Coach Dylan's garage, kitted out for serious work: two nets, a wall of tees, soft + hard balls, an iPad for slow-mo review, and a tripod ready to record every rep. The space stays small on purpose — one-on-one, no audience.
