Coach Camacho attended Oswego High School from 2009 to 2013, where he played baseball for all four years, including two years as the starting catcher on varsity.
He began his college career at Waubonsee Community College from 2013 to 2015. During his first year at Waubonsee, he was the starting third baseman on a team that traveled to Tyler, Texas, to participate in the Junior College World Series. Furthermore, he was part of a team that placed fourth in the nation that year. After his sophomore season, he was awarded Male Athlete of the Year. His accomplishments at WCC earned him a scholarship to continue his baseball career and education at Texas Southern University. There, he was the starting third baseman for a team that won two conference championships and qualified for back-to-back Division I regionals.
Following his time at Texas Southern, Coach Camacho pursued a professional baseball career. He began in independent baseball, playing for the Joliet Slammers in the Frontier League in 2019. His success in 2019 led to a contract to play at a higher level in Mexico’s Liga Mexicana de Béisbol (LMB). He played from 2020 to 2024, first with the Pericos de Puebla and then with the Bravos de León. During the winter, he also played in the Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) with the Aguilas de Mexicali.
Mike Dato attended Oswego High School, where he played baseball for all four years, primarily as a catcher and corner infielder. He was part of one of the most successful teams in school history during his senior year, though they fell short in the Regional tournament.
He then committed to Monmouth College to study Exercise Science and play baseball under Coach Betourne for the Fighting Scots. Like every freshman, he learned a great deal and earned a starting position as a designated hitter during his sophomore year. It was at this point in his career that he realized he was embarking on something significant. He finished that year with a batting average of just over .320, hitting 8 home runs and driving in 39 RBIs. That same year, the team won their conference and secured a spot in the NCAA Regional tournament, their first appearance in over 20 years.
Following this season, he was invited to the 2019 Pre-Draft workout with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was still transitioning between positions at this point but began to lean more towards first base, where he would play for the remainder of his career at Monmouth. During his time there, he achieved several milestones:
- ABCA 1st Team All-Region (2018)
- 2nd Team All-Conference (2019)
- 1st in career Home Runs (19)
- 1st in career Hit By Pitch (29)
- 1st in Single Game RBIs (8)
- 4th in Career RBIs (108)
He finished his college career with a .300 batting average, a .500 slugging percentage, and a .395 on-base percentage, as well as a .986 fielding percentage.
After his college career, he was fortunate enough to play at the professional level, beginning in New York for the Empire League, where he attended his first spring training. He later played in the PECOS League for the Tucson Saguaros. Unfortunately, due to injuries, his playing career ended there.
Baseball has taught him many valuable lessons throughout his life and has shaped him into the man he is today. He was not heavily recruited growing up, so he worked hard for everything with a small, close-knit circle throughout his career. Looking back, he wishes he could give kids the confidence he often lacked as a player and help them reach their full potential, both on and off the field.
Jared Folley brings a wealth of coaching experience, including stints at North Central College and Harper Community College. He has guided national-level travel teams and facilitated college recruitment for players. Currently, he serves as a varsity baseball assistant at Oswego High School, where he has been for the past eight seasons. He also has three seasons of varsity assistant softball coaching experience from Waubonsie High School. Coach Folley is dedicated to developing hitters’ physical and mental game.
Sammy Hall’s baseball career is defined by high-level competition and a deep understanding of the mental aspects of the game. A Nazareth Academy alumnus, he played at Saint Joseph’s College and Ohio Wesleyan University, earning a degree in Sports Management with a concentration in Sports Psychology. He also gained professional experience with the Corpus Christi Beach Dawgs.
A powerful hitter, Sammy set a college record with seven grand slams in a single season, showcasing his clutch hitting and high batting average. His ability to consistently make hard contact made him a formidable presence at the plate. Following his playing career, Sammy transitioned to coaching, working with athletes at Oswego East and Marmion Academy, as well as various travel organizations. He emphasizes mental toughness, balance, and proprioception to enhance hitter performance.
Sammy’s coaching philosophy centers on the ‘Ted Williams mindset,’ aiming for an elite .400 approach rather than the traditional .300. Through mechanical efficiency, proprioception, mental training, and repetition-based development, he empowers players to master their approach and build confidence for game day.
With extensive coaching experience and a proven track record, Sammy helps players of all levels refine their mechanics, strengthen their mental game, and achieve impactful results.
Train with intent. Train with confidence. Train with Sammy.
