Founderjesse foppert
Jesse Foppert grew up in San Rafael, California, attending San Rafael High School before going on to the University of San Francisco. He was selected in the 2nd round (74th overall) by the San Francisco Giants in the 2001 MLB Draft and quickly became one of the most electrifying pitching prospects in the game. He led all Giants minor leaguers with 183 strikeouts and was named the organization's minor league player of the year in 2002, ranked the 5th highest prospect by Baseball America and the best pitching prospect heading into 2003. Jesse made his MLB debut that year with the San Francisco Giants. He played 3 seasons in the Major Leagues before moving into his role as Head Baseball Coach at Marin Catholic High School. His deep roots in the Bay Area, firsthand knowledge of what it takes to reach professional baseball, and daily commitment to developing young players make him the ideal leader for PCA's mission.
ConsultantBraden bishop
Braden Bishop was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 3rd round of the 2015 MLB Draft out of the University of Washington, where he was a standout center fielder and one of the Pac-12's top baserunners. He spent nine years in professional baseball, earning MLB time with both the Mariners and the San Francisco Giants. His major league debut came in one of baseball's most memorable moments — entering as a defensive replacement for Ichiro Suzuki during the Seattle icon's final career game. After his playing career, Braden went on to work as a certified MLBPA player agent and amateur draft recruiting representative at Boras Corporation, one of the most prestigious agencies in sports, giving him a rare dual perspective as both a former player and a professional talent evaluator. He brings that experience directly to PCA families. Between playing and advising, there is nothing he hasn’t experienced.

Our Process
Consultation Call
We start with a straightforward conversation. We'll get to know the student-athlete, their goals, and their current profile — and be honest about whether PCA is a good fit before anything is signed.
We evaluate the complete picture. GPA, coursework, athletic performance, and development trajectory so we can build a recruiting strategy grounded in reality, not wishful thinking.
Academic & Athletic Assessment
We work with the family to build a realistic, targeted college list. Programs where the athlete can get in, play, and thrive. Then we design a custom exposure plan so the right coaches have a reason to pay attention.
Build Your List & Exposure Strategy
We communicate directly with coaches at every division level on the athlete's behalf, managing outreach and building relationships with the right programs. Alongside recruiting, athletes get direct access to elite MLB mental/physical skill coaching.
Coach Outreach & Development
We don't stop at signing day. Our support runs from inception through the athlete's sophomore year of college, navigating the transition, roster dynamics, and everything that comes next.
