Before arriving in Austin, Max was the pitching coach for Texas A&M and oversaw the Aggie pitching staff. He has also served as the pitching coordinator for the Seattle Mariners. In the four years since his hire, Seattle had eight pitchers ranked as Top 100 prospects and boasted the only MLB rotation in modern history with four homegrown starters under the age of 26, all of whom spent no more than two seasons in the minors. Max garnered national recognition for his achievements in Seattle, and in 2019, he was named to The Athletic’s 35 under 35 baseball list. Forbes recognized him on their 30 under 30 sports list in 2023.

 

Max founded The Arm Farm, a pitching development and charity serving youth and baseball players, and has received extensive praise from the professional and amateur baseball community. His pitching philosophy centers on “Controlling the Zone” and emphasizes getting first-pitch strikes, winning 1-1 counts, and limiting walks.

Max was Riverside’s 2013 Battalion Commander and a member of the baseball team. The Weiner family is a RMA legacy family as his father and three brothers all attended Riverside. Max and his fiancé, Lindsey, reside in College Station, Texas.
