                                                    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.
