Seth Douglas
Owner & Lead Baseball Instructor | 802 Baseball Lab
Former Professional Baseball Player | 10+ Years of Training Experience | Hitting, Pitching & Player Development
Seth Douglas is the Owner and original co-creator of 802 Baseball Lab, where he has spent more than a decade helping baseball and softball players develop their skills, build confidence, and take their game to the next level.
From young athletes learning the fundamentals to high school and college players preparing for the next level, Seth takes an individualized approach to training. His goal isn't to create one type of hitter or pitcher—it's to understand each athlete, identify what will make them better, and build a training plan that works for their game.
Seth brings a unique perspective to player development because his own baseball journey was anything but traditional.
Growing up in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, Seth learned the game from his father, a private baseball trainer, and his high school coaches. Unlike many players, Seth was a late bloomer. After playing briefly as a young kid, he stepped away from organized baseball for nearly 6–7 years before returning during his sophomore year of high school.
From there, his career took off.
Seth earned All-Conference and All-State honors during his junior and senior seasons before continuing his career at the collegiate level. He played at Bemidji State University before transferring to SUNY Canton, where he developed into one of the program's top offensive players.
At SUNY Canton, Seth finished his career with a .377 batting average while setting or holding multiple school records in hits, home runs, RBIs, and slugging percentage.
His collegiate accomplishments included:
Two-Time Empire 8 First Team All-Conference
ABCA New York All-Region First Team
ABCA New York All-Region Second Team
D3baseball.com All-New York Region Second Team
USCAA All-American
USCAA Honorable Mention All-American
Two-Time D3baseball.com National Team of the Week
Two-Time Empire 8 Player of the Week

ECAC Metro/Upstate First Team All-Star

Professional Baseball Career
In 2017, Seth signed his first professional contract with the Alpine Cowboys of the Pecos League, helping the organization reach the league championship series during his first professional season.
He continued his professional career in 2018 with the Ottawa Champions of the Can-Am League before returning to Alpine. During his final professional season, Seth earned All-Star honors and League MVP while contributing as both a position player and the team's closer.
That experience—competing as a hitter, position player, and pitcher—continues to shape the way Seth trains athletes today.
From Player to Coach
After his professional career, Seth transitioned directly into coaching and player development, including two years coaching at his alma mater, SUNY Canton.
Since then, he has worked privately with hundreds of athletes, helping players improve their hitting, pitching, strength, movement, mechanics, and overall understanding of the game.
Today, Seth leads 802 Baseball Lab in St. Albans, Vermont, working with athletes across youth, high school, college, and advanced levels.
Seth understands firsthand that every player's path is different. You don't have to be the biggest, strongest, or most developed player at a young age to have a future in this game. Development takes quality training, consistency, confidence, and commitment.
That's what athletes can expect every time they walk into the Lab.
