Coaching Pitchers Philosophy
Medium
Pulled from Dan Keller’s presentation at the 2018 ABCA Convention in Indianapolis. This excerpt highlights several key philosophical principles of successful pitching coaches.
Big Idea:
Can we develop our pitchers to have BOTH (1) success now… and (2) long term development to maximize chances for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Dan Keller is a long time member of the American Baseball Coaches Association, and has presented at both the ABCA Barnstormers Tour as well as the national convention. For access to this entire presentation and other fantastic instructional content, visit the ABCA’s Video Center.
