Front Office

It is Jim’s intention to help grow and develop the Titans High Performance Baseball brand. He will be establishing corporate and town partnerships in the Regions of York and Simcoe. He will be writing weekly content for the Titans Baseball website as Coordinator of Communications. His duties will also include the scouting and refining of Titan student-athletes, as well as preparing the organization’s players for academic success in their post-secondary destinations by collecting players’ report cards, counselling players regarding academics, coordinating S.A.T. sittings and preparatory activities, providing on-line support for players’ writing assignments, and advising at-risk students.

Currently, Jim is the sole proprietor of JMS Educational Services—a company he founded in 1998. Proofreading and editing texts for first-time authors, improving student performance through authentic tutoring, and contract writing for Canadian and American textbook publishers are three core services provided by JMS. He has been an Aurora resident for over 30 years and looks forward to helping the Titans Baseball Club grow deep roots in the towns of Aurora and Newmarket where he coached baseball at numerous levels from 1995-2007.

Denis Bailey is the Head Coach of the Titans 17U Baseball team.  He also serves as the organization’s College Placement Coordinator.   Significantly, Denis was instrumental in placing 22 Titans student-athletes in US and Canadian Colleges from the Class of 2024.  His organization of the Fall College Trip since October 2021 spurred a number of Titans College commitments, notably to excursion stops at the University of Rio Grande (Ohio), Genessee Community College (New York), Salem International University (West Virginia), and Garrett College (Maryland).  

Denis joined the Titans Baseball Club as the Associate Head Coach of the 17U squad and imported a wealth of CPBL and IBL coaching experience to our organization.  Based on his experience as a PBR Ontario Scout and his hand in developing MLB draft picks over the course of his coaching career, Denis assisted Director of Baseball Operations Lawrence Vera with the placement of College players. Denis’s work with the CPBL Toronto Mets was wide-ranging, including his role as 14U Toronto Mets Field Manager and Program Catching Instructor in 2019.  He also attended the Mets’ Fall College Trip as the Third Base Coach in 2019. In 2020, he was the 18U Mets Assistant Coach, 3rd Base Coach, and Program Catching Instructor.  Prior to his work with the Toronto Mets, he was the 10U Fieldhouse Pirates Field Manager and worked extensively with this CPBL organization’s development program. 

From 2015 to 2017, he coached Third Base and was the bench coach for the Kitchener Panthers of the Intercounty Baseball League.  While with the IBL Panthers, he coached Frank Camillo Morejon, Yorbis Borroto, Noelvis Entenza, and Yulexis La Rosa (Cuban National Team Members) as well as Daniel Procopio who was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels. While in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, Denis also served at the 3rd Base Coach and Catching Instructor in 2015 and 2016 with the Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks of the OUA.

In 2014, Denis served the Burlington Bandits Intercounty Baseball League organization as their 3rd Base Coach and Bench Coach where he coached JD Osborne who was drafted by the Miami Marlins. In 2012 and 2013 with the North York Blues, he was the team’s 21U Field Manager and coached Jordan Romano of the MLB Toronto Blue Jays. Denis also coached the East York Bulldogs 21U club from 2008-2011 where he coached Jeff Gibbs who was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Denis played his US College baseball for the Genesee Community College Cougars in Batavia, New York where he was a catcher.  

Denis’s rich coaching history, his development of MLB and College draft picks, and his US College catching experiences make him a valuable resource for the Titans Baseball Club.
