Elijah West brings more than 25 years of playing experience and five years of coaching and player development to The Syndicate 9. A lifelong student of the game from Tarzana, California, he grew up competing in Southern California travel ball — helping his teams earn five championship banners and compete at Cooperstown Dreams Park — and continued at Chatsworth High School, part of one of the area’s great baseball traditions, before graduating from Taft High School.

After high school he received offers from CSUN and several Historically Black Colleges and Universities, then competed in professional independent leagues, earning MVP honors for his pitching performance. Trained and mentored by MLB Hall of Famer Reggie Smith and his son RJ, he now specializes in pitching, outfield play, and speed development — teaching the footwork, mechanics, baseball IQ, confidence, and mental toughness that build complete players.
