The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), the leading professional organization for amateur baseball coaches, announces its newly forged relationship with
Inside Pitch as an official partner of the ABCA. "The
Inside Pitch magazine has been provided to attendees of our annual convention for the past three years. The quality of the magazine and its contents are excellent and the goals of
Inside Pitch are consistent with those of the ABCA," says ABCA Executive Director Craig Keilitz. "Through this relationship, our entire membership will have access to
Inside Pitch and will be afforded opportunities to contribute to the magazine.”
Both the ABCA and
Inside Pitch were busy in 2014. Along with a new design for its
Covering All Bases newsletter, the ABCA recently launched a new website which offers new features, an updated look and simpler navigation for its members and others interested in the organization. The website redesign also includes the
ABCAvideos.org site, which offers special discounts and free access to members and convention attendees. The ABCA has also enhanced the registration processes for both its membership and its annual convention, made its online Job Postings and Open Dates pages free for anyone to view, and has increased its presence on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to help spread news and encourage networking among members.
After unveiling its Summer issue at the Perfect Game World Wood Bat Championship in Jupiter, Fl.,
Inside Pitch launched a new-look website of its own, which is more content-focused and easier for visitors to navigate.
Inside Pitch also announced that its online publication can now be downloaded and viewed across all platforms, including iOS, Google Play, Amazon and HTML5. The updated app includes full issue content along with exclusive extras such as videos, slideshows, music, hyperlinks and other multimedia.
"I have tremendous respect for the members, board of directors and the executive committee of the ABCA," said
Inside Pitch Publisher Keith Madison, who is an ABCA Hall of Famer himself. "Our relationship with this organization will broaden our reach and provide both the ABCA and
Inside Pitch with a larger platform to promote quality instruction, cutting edge information and character in the game we all love. Saying that I’m excited about this initiative would be an understatement.”
