Philosophy
As a former baseball player, Kevin learned early on that hitting success comes from the seven fundamentals: Bat grip, hand placement, loading, stride length, hip rotation, contact, and follow through. With each lesson, these steps are broken down and reviewed to best fit his clients’ hitting needs. All hitters learn how to apply these techniques to overcome their weaknesses and improve their hitting abilities.
Biography
Kevin’s expertise and enthusiasm are built on the foundation of his own successes as a student and college athlete. He attended high school in Lexington, Illinois and played football, basketball, and baseball all four years while achieving all-state honors his junior and senior year in baseball. During his junior year, Kevin, shortstop for the Minutemen, pitched the team to a state victory in 1990 and was named the state MVP. In the summer of ’91 he played in the Area vs. InterCity All-Star game where his five hits propelled the Area to a victory and once again Kevin received the MVP award. Kevin’s achievements caught the attention of baseball scouts from the New York Mets, Houston Astros, and Kansas City Royals.
Kevin’s accomplishments in high school earned him a baseball scholarship to Lincoln Land Community College in 1991. While playing for the Loggers under the coaching staff of Claude Kracik, Ron Riggle, and the hitting instruction of Bruce Richards and Baltimore Orioles’ Tim Hulett, Kevin played in the NJCAA National Tournament in 1993 ranking the Lincoln Land Loggers 5th in the nation. The next year with a regular season hitting average of .455, he led the Loggers to a National Championship. In 2007, Kevin, along with the rest of the 1994 champions, was inducted into the Springfield Baseball Hall of Fame.
During the summer of 1997 Kevin earned his coaching certificate through the state of Illinois. Since then, he has been instructing athletes of all ages in the Bloomington-Normal area and has coached many summer league programs in baseball and softball.
