OHIO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION Dear OHSBCA Members, Welcome to the 67th annual OHSBCA State Clinic, January 18th, 19th and 20th of 2018. You are a member of the 2nd largest coaches associations in the United States. Many high school coaches and college speakers have said that this is one of the best clinics in the nation. I am hoping that you are able to take something from this year’s clinic and go back to your school to make the young men in your program better this coming year and for future players as well. With my involvement on this board for the past 5 years, I have seen the giant steps forward the association has made. It is my honor to give back as Director of the 2018 State Clinic. This venue at the Hyatt Regency and Columbus Convention Center is just one example of what a first class operation we all are here to witness. If there is anything that any of our 24 board members or the Hyatt personnel can do to make your experience more enjoyable, please let us know. Your board is committed to making this a most enjoyable and rewarding experience, and represents you throughout the entire year. We have the opportunity to recognize and honor three (3) of our own with their induction into our OHSBCA Hall of Fame this weekend: I truly hope that you take the opportunity to attend our banquet on Friday noon in the Ballroom to honor these three great men who have given so much to their schools, community and our association. There are also many other awards given to your peers and scholarships to the children of our members; you should not miss this banquet. I have taken great pride in putting together a great lineup of clinic speakers who have a variety of messages that will help you to get back into “baseball mode” as we get closer to our seasons approaching. We continue to learn and seek out information and I feel that this year’s speakers will truly help all of us grow our players and build a stronger program. The list of speakers for this year include: Turtle Thomas – Texas Rangers Dan Bertolini – Youngstown State University Greg Beals – The Ohio State University Brad Myers – Nashville HS (TN) Cory Mee – University of Toledo Gene Stechschulte – Ohio Northern Univ. Kyle Hallock – Malone University Kyle Sprague – University of Cincinnati Tim Belcher – Cleveland Indians Keith Veale – Mount Vernon Nazarene Jim Puhalla – Natural Grass Gary Gilmore – Coastal Carolina University Kris Knapp – Ontario HS, Trainer Gary Reinl – Marc Pro Kyle Hallock – Malone University Butch Chaffin – Tennessee HS Paul Reddick – Yogi Berra Baseball Camps Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the entire OHSBCA Board of Directors for their dedication and hard work to this organization.
