Makes genuine efforts to connect with his players and try to bring the team together. Coach Righter has improved in open-mindedness, honesty, and communication considerably throughout my four years. A much more level-headed coach and person than he gets credit for. No coach is perfect, but his weaknesses get exaggerated severely. Overall very good.

At times, Coach Righter can be a little stubborn and set in his ways. He also can get in his own way and try to do too much instead of letting things play out. That being said, he is very knowledgeable and does truly care about his players. He is a young coach and has a lot to learn. He is continuing to grow and has a lot of potential.

He’s very knowledgeable and cares about his players. Sometimes his practices are a little inefficient. There are some players that don’t like him because we go to a very sensitive school.

He surely knows pitching and maybe one day could make a great pitching coach. However, he kills confidence and is not good with people. Can’t relate to his players and constantly tries to manipulate their every move. Talks down to the assistant coach (fukes) everyone adores. Hired an unpaid coach who is just horrible. MR improved over my 2 yrs

Coach Righter cares about his players and values development as well as winning. At times he can be reluctant to change his perspective or strategy, but he is always willing to hear feedback from players and encourages honesty on their part.

Has the right intentions and is good at motivation but not won't get in people's faces. Has a better knowledge of new tech than most coaches.

He works very hard and is committed to the program and making the team as good as it can be. He tries to promote strong team culture, and the team is an incredibly close knit group. Questionable game time and lineup decisions however, typically favoring younger players, can leave established players feeling confused or even betrayed at times.

You don’t want to play for this guy. Went to Johns Hopkins and tries to use that to make it seem like he’s intelligent, but was only there because he was a great athlete.

Very manipulative and dishonest coach. Does not care about players and only looks to forward his own career. Forces team to have a very odd hitting approach most players disagree with
