Leslie Herrmann has worked six years in baseball at the Collegiate, Minor, and Major League levels. Prior to founding NextStep Baseball, she graduated from Holy Cross in Worcester, MA and interned at the MLB Office of the Commissioner in New York and in Baseball Operations for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Mentored by several current Major League coaches, front office executives, and former Major League players, Leslie is harnessing a dream and following a path similar to the players she partners with. She began her career as an intern with the Modesto Nuts, Class A Affiliate of the Colorado Rockies and went on to spend two more seasons in the Minor Leagues working for the New York Penn League. During her tenure with the Lowell Spinners, Boston Red Sox Affiliate, she was awarded as the 2011 Minor League Baseball NYPL Executive of the Year.

Having served four years as the student manager of her Collegiate Division I baseball program at Holy Cross, she believes in raw talent and argues every player is a prospect until proven otherwise. She says youth and possibility drive her venture. A student of the game, but first and foremost a student of personal self-awareness and productivity, her passion in baseball and life is personal and player development. Leslie does not, “do it for the story,” she actively participates in writing the story. She plays to win. Fluent in English, Spanish, and “Dugout,” Leslie is tri-lingual.
