This week on the ABCA Podcast, we’re joined by Kevin Coe, Cincinnati Reds Academy Director of Baseball and Softball. With a career dedicated to player development, Coe has been instrumental in providing opportunities for young athletes to reach the next level. Before joining the Reds in 2022, he played a key role in building the Chicago White Sox ACE program and working with the Pullman Community Center, helping countless players achieve their dreams of playing college baseball.

In this episode, Coe shares insights into developing young talent, expanding access to the game, and his work with ABCA’s Youth and Travel Committees. As the newly named Chair of the Youth and Travel Service Awards Committee, his impact on the grassroots level of baseball continues to grow.
