My experience at Albany started with some personal issues which affected my housing when I got to campus. Coach Kaier (and Mueller to a lessor extent) was in touch with me and helped me all the way through. Baseball was what got me through alot and my friends and coaches really helped. I think Coach wants to win and can be intense but hes also fair, players who come and dont play alot probably look at differently but I loved it and miss it everyday.

I don't even know where to start. Worst coach I've ever had and all of my teammates at UA would say the same. Even the best players who had "good" careers here would still tell you Jeff and Mueller are horrible coaches. Outside of coaching, Kaier is genuinely just a bad person. he could NOT care less how you are mentally as he constantly puts you down and makes you feel lesser of a person. Kaier's coaching style is belittling you and making you feel like you've never seen a baseball in your life. Don't even think about pleading your case as you are "making excuses" as he'd say. I can confidently say Kaier is the least personable coach/person I have ever met in my career. You'd think as a division 1 baseball coach you'd want to form a relationship with your players to ultimately put confidence in your team and let them know you, as a coach, have their back. That could not be further from the truth when discussing Jeffrey Kaier. Don't even think about trying to be friendly with Jeff because that will be shot down right away. Kaier loves to take your confidence, snap it in half, and throw it into Varsity pond as you are no longer going to be the player you used to be, you are now Jeffs minion. The positive reviews/experiences for Jeff or Mueller are the very few out of hundreds if not thousands of players who had unfortunately had to go through the same distressing experience my teammates and I went through. Overall, If you are reading this while considering Albany as a potential place to play college baseball, PLEASE do not do it to yourself.

"im a parent too and I can tell you Coach Mueller is an easy going, kind, intelligent man that cares about the players. I understand when your son doesnt play or is cut from the team hard feelings come, often times problems arise from our frustation.
