Hello, I’m Lachlan Fontaine, and my journey in baseball has been a lifelong passion—one that has taken me from the fields of Little League all the way to the professional ranks. As a former professional baseball player, I've experienced the highs and lows of the game, and now I’m here to share that knowledge and insight with young athletes who are looking to take their game to the next level.

Baseball has taught me countless lessons—about discipline, perseverance, and the importance of constant growth. That’s why I founded Basepath Consulting: to help young players build strong foundations, improve their skills, and maximize their potential, both on and off the field.

Coaching Resume

I’ve been coaching for over a decade, gaining experience across all levels of the game. Here's a look at my coaching resume:

 

• Private Lessons (2013 – Present): Since 2013, I’ve been providing one-on-one coaching to players ranging in age from 6 to 35. These private lessons cover a wide range of skills, from fundamental mechanics to advanced techniques, with a focus on personalized instruction tailored to each player's unique needs. Whether it's hitting, pitching, fielding, or mental conditioning, I work with players to build their skills, boost their confidence, and improve their performance on the field.

​

• North Shore Twins Hitting Coach (2022): In 2022, I served as the hitting coach for the North Shore Twins, where I focused on helping players refine their swing mechanics, approach at the plate, and mental strategies. This role involved working with athletes at the competitive level, helping them elevate their hitting game and achieve their team and personal goals.

​

• Team & Group Training (2013 – Present): Throughout my career, I’ve been involved in team and group training sessions, working with players and coaches to build effective practice plans, develop team chemistry, and improve individual performance in a group setting. I believe in fostering a team-first mentality, while also providing individual attention to help each player grow.

​

• Big League Experience Camp Coach & Travel Ball Coach (2020 – Present): Since 2020, I’ve been fortunate to work with Big League Experience Camps and as a travel ball coach, where I help prepare players for higher levels of competition. Through these programs, I’ve had the opportunity to coach athletes at competitive travel ball tournaments and showcase camps, helping them sharpen their skills and prepare for collegiate and professional baseball.

​

• Capitales de Quebec Hitting Coach (2024): Most recently, in 2024, I joined the Capitales de Quebec as the hitting coach, where I’m responsible for developing the team’s offensive game.

Why I Started Basepath Consulting

​

Throughout my career, I learned the importance of not only refining my physical skills but also developing my mental game and understanding the intricacies of baseball. As I transitioned out of professional baseball, I knew I wanted to help young players who are working toward their own goals in the game.

Basepath Consulting was born out of my desire to give back to the baseball community and help players navigate their journey. With firsthand experience in the minor leagues and independent baseball, I’m uniquely positioned to provide valuable feedback on every aspect of the game—whether it's mechanics, fitness, mental toughness, or strategy.​
