Background
About Coach Delino
Delino DeShields Jr. is a former Major League outfielder and the hitting and fielding instructor for private lessons and clinics at Dallas Performance Systems.
A first-round pick (8th overall) by the Houston Astros in 2010 out of Woodward Academy, DeShields played seven MLB seasons (2015–2021) with the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians, and Cincinnati Reds. A right-handed center fielder, he debuted with Texas in 2015, earned American League Rookie of the Month in May, and finished his career with 111 stolen bases, a .327 on-base percentage, and everyday center-field experience under big-league pressure. He is the son of 13-year MLB veteran Delino DeShields.
At DPS, Coach DeShields works with players of all ages on the skills that defined his game:
• Hitting: Bat speed, a simple repeatable swing, and a plan at the plate built from years of facing major-league pitching.
• Fielding: Outfield reads and routes, first-step quickness, footwork, and arm strength, with the same standards applied to infield defense.
Sessions are personal and high-intensity. The goal is real skill, clean fundamentals, and confidence that holds up in a game.
