AboutCoach Eli
With 6 years of college baseball at the highest level under my belt (during which I played under two former big league head coaches), I've picked up a few things along the way from experience, coaches, teammates, failure and success. I personally went through the college baseball recruiting process (twice) and have swapped stories with players from all around the nation, at every level of college baseball. I have coached players at every age from 5 to 18, and whereas there are some absolute truths of pitching I like to implement for everyone, my versatility, knowledge base and attention to detail means I don't have a "one size fits all" approach. I am also well-versed in current trends, drills, philosophy and metrics in use at the professional level, and I know how to communicate those concepts effectively to players at every age.
Testimonials
"Thank you Eli for everything you've done for the team this year. Every player is extremely thankful for you and what you've added."
- Brooklyn Tech High School Player
"Eli is fun to work with and brings an enthusiastic approach to teaching the game."
- Anonymous Coach
"Eli Kimbell is an outstanding young man that has a wealth of NYC and college baseball experience... He was an immediate boost for all of our boys, and was the player they want to be. Even just by doing simple things, and running the boys through drills the way Eli wanted to present them was worth its weight in gold. He could be as simple and direct as to teach how a pitcher should be thinking when they play catch in warm-ups, or as precise as to reinforce focuses/thoughts within the boys' heads on the mound with runners on, or not." Brooklyn Tech Head Coach Joe Nardiello
