Cole McDonald
Former MLB pitcher for the Houston Astros and Big10 Champion with the Iowa Hawkeyes, Cole McDonald is excited to lead our inaugural Remote Pitching Program with 515 Fieldhouse. During his time with the Astros, Cole…
Hi, my name is Cole McDonald. I’m a former professional pitcher in the Houston Astros organization and now a pitching coach at 515 Fieldhouse. I grew up in New Hampton, Iowa and played high school baseball at New Hampton High School before continuing my career at the University of Iowa.
During my time with the Iowa Hawkeyes, I threw the first 9-inning no-hitter against the Czech Republic national team at the World University Games, won a Big Ten Tournament Championship, served as a Friday night starter, and was honored to be named a team captain.
In 2019, I was selected in the 15th round of the MLB Draft by the Houston Astros. During my professional career, I was named the Astros Minor League Reliever of the Year in 2023, invited to Major League Spring Training in 2024, won a Triple-A Championship, and led the entire Astros minor league system in strikeouts per nine innings (14.9 K/9) in 2023.
After a long and rewarding playing career, I’ve transitioned into coaching to pass on what I’ve learned. I'm excited to launch a remote pitching program that gives athletes access to elite instruction no matter where they live.
My coaching philosophy takes a holistic approach to pitcher development. I focus on four essential pillars: throwing, lifting, mobility, and pitch design. I believe success comes to those who are committed to the process, take ownership of their growth, and are willing to work with intent and purpose.
This program is built to maximize each athlete’s potential through 24/7, high-level programming, combining my personal experience with insights and connections from current MLB and MiLB coaches. My mission is to help athletes reach their goals and take the next step in their careers—whatever that may be.
I look forward to meeting you.
