Meet the Staff

Bryan Ward is a husband, father of four, coach, and lifelong baseball enthusiast. He and his wife, Stacy Ward, have been married for 15 years and are the proud parents of four children: Jaxon, Logan, Ella, and Lyla.

Baseball has always been a major part of Bryan’s life. He played at Seminole High School from 2000–2003, where he earned a scholarship to continue his baseball career at St. Johns River State College. Bryan played two years of college baseball before returning home to focus on his career and raising his family.

Today, Bryan is a licensed underground utility contractor and serves as President of Central Florida Underground alongside his brother. Together, they have helped grow the company into one of the largest underground boring contractors in Florida.

Bryan’s passion for baseball never went away. What started as a simple 60’ x 60’ training facility called “The Batters Box” eventually grew into TBB and the baseball program it is today.

For Bryan, TBB is about much more than winning baseball games. It’s about developing young players, teaching them how to compete, building confidence, being great teammates, and creating an environment where players and their families can make memories that last well beyond their time on the baseball field.

When Bryan isn’t working or at the baseball field, there’s a good chance you’ll find him on the water. He enjoys spending his free time miles offshore fishing or closer to home fly fishing for redfish.

Above everything else, Bryan considers his family his greatest accomplishment and enjoys being able to share his love of baseball, the outdoors, and competition with his children.

Jesse Litsch is a former Major League pitcher, professional baseball coach, father, and lifelong student of the game.

Jesse played at Dixie Hollins High School before continuing at South Florida Community College, where he earned All-American honors. He was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2004 and made his MLB debut in 2007. Jesse pitched five Major League seasons with Toronto, recording 27 wins and a 4.16 career ERA. (MLB.com)

Following his playing career, Jesse moved into coaching and player development, with experience that included baseball development in China, the Bridgeport Bluefish, and professional baseball organizations. Today, he brings that experience to TBB, helping develop the next generation of players.

Off the field, Jesse met Lacey in 2022, and they welcomed their daughter, Lydia, in December 2024.

Jesse’s passion for baseball also carries over into the card hobby. An avid baseball card collector, you can regularly catch him live breaking cards on TBB Baseball Cards.

From the Major Leagues to coaching young athletes and breaking baseball cards, baseball continues to be a major part of Jesse’s life.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Rodolfo “Rod” Feliciano earned his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Puerto Rico, where he also played and coached baseball.

Following graduation, Rod served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, including a deployment aboard the USS Nimitz. While serving, he continued his education and earned a Master’s degree in Sports and Health Science.

Since 2020, Rod has worked with baseball organizations throughout Central Florida, focusing on strength and conditioning, athletic performance, and player development. Today, he helps with TBB, working with young athletes to become stronger, more athletic, and better baseball players while emphasizing character, discipline, and personal growth.

Rod’s passion is developing athletes both physically and mentally and helping them reach their full potential on and off the field.

Deja Walker has been part of TBB behind the scenes, helping put together and shape the organization from the ground up. From assisting with the TBB brand to managing details off the field, she has played a key role in bringing the TBB vision to life.

Outside of TBB, Deja works for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office as the agency’s Digital Media Specialist, where she helps tell the organization’s story through photography, video, and social media.

Deja is a proud wife to her husband, Q Walker, whom she met in 2014, and a loving mom of two, Kyson and Kinsley. She enjoys fishing, spending quality time with her family, and helping support the team behind the scenes through her administrative role.
