Clinics at Baseball Capital
Pitching & Catching
The Battery Charger Pitchers & Catchers Clinic Did you know the pitcher and catcher together are called the battery? The Battery Charger is a combined pitcher and catcher clinic designed to help both positions improve by training together in live, game-like situations. Players will work with Coach Kenny and other local coaches on mechanics, reps, communication, technique, and situational baseball IQ. Pitchers get live work throwing to catchers, while catchers develop receiving, blocking, throwing, decision-making, and game awareness. Players can also record their work on HitTrax to track progress and see improvement over time. Open to boys and girls of all skill levels. Come get your reps, build confidence, and learn how a stronger battery can build better players!

Meet Your Trainers
Coach Kenny
Pitching , hitting & Fundamental Specialist
Coach Kenny was raised in Pinconning, MI, as the oldest boy cousin in a crew of more than 50 cousins. He was often the babysitter in charge — and what did they do? They played ball. Wiffle ball, basketball, football… it didn’t matter. There were always enough kids for a backyard tournament.Today, Coach Kenny pours that same energy into coaching kids and senior citizens at his 16,000 square foot baseball and softball training center in Ortonville, MI, a northern suburb of Detroit. He’s coached hundreds of players through private lessons, group clinics, and as a coach of one of the teams in his 20‑team travel baseball and softball organization, the Michigan Blackhawks.At Baseball Capital, Coach Kenny has one rule: Be Loving. Every swing, every rep, every game starts there.
