In this week’s ABCA Podcast we talk about all things youth baseball with ABCA Youth & Dave Keilitz Ethics Award Committee member and former college pitching coach, Daniel Keller. Coach Keller is an 18-year continuous ABCA member and has spent over 22 years coaching pitchers. His last stop collegiately was at Cypress Community College. His path has taken him all over the baseball landscape as a coach, private instructor, and baseball entrepreneur. He started the Dugout Captain app and is now working on the Mojo app which just teamed up with Major League Baseball to provide coaching resources to the Boys and Girls club. This episode is a discussion on what we need to do to help youth baseball. Coach Keller is coaching his 9-year-old son now, so we talk about some of the things he has learned. There is a lot of positive energy in this one. We both believe that we need to build passion and love for the game from the bottom up which will help high school, college, and professional baseball. We also go into the nomination process for the ABCA Dave Keilitz Ethics Award. The ABCA Podcast is presented by Netting Pros.
