Meet Our Coaches
Travis Mitchell
Owner and Head Coach of Player Development
Travis started The Factory from inside The Sandlot facility back in 2017. In that time he’s grown The Factory from obscurity to one of the most widely known and respected sports training facilities in Colorado. Travis is more than just a sports performance coach to his athletes; He is a mentor, a rehab specialist, a college recruiter, a skills coach, and most importantly, a lifelong friend.
Travis holds a bachelors of science from Colorado State University where he was a D1 All-American Rugby player. Travis served as a Smokejumper for the U.S. Forest Service for 7 years before beginning his career in training athletes. From MLB All Stars to D1 studs to 6 year olds, Travis has worked with several hundred athletes, but lives and dies by the mantra of ‘treat everyone the same”.
Travis oversees all of the programming in the Factory, and works closely with the high school, college, and pro baseball and softball players.
Since 2015 Travis has been the hitting coach for Cherokee Trail H.S. Softball where his wife Caley Mitchell is the Head Coach. During that time CT is top two in 5A for wins, homers, and runs scored, and the team has reached the State Championship 3 times, winning it all once.
Travis lives in Castle Rock with Caley and their 6 year old son Luke, and their dog and Factory mascot Shipwreck.

Lucas Campbell
Coach
Lucas is a local Castle Rock kid who attended Castle View HS, where he was an elite athlete and one of the first athletes to ever come into The Factory and deadlift 3X his bodyweight.
Lucas had a choice between pursuing College baseball and a full ride to be part of the Central Florida Cheerleading team. Lucas chose UCF, and transferred to USF his senior year to win a national championship. His experience as a D1 College athlete, and the rigorous training that comes along with that, coupled with his knowledge and passion for baseball has made him a great utility player for The Factory.
