Coach Morgan has been a fixture at numerous state and national baseball clinics, including BCA and ABCA.  Coach Morgan coached at Indiana University for 22 seasons where he amassed over 1,000 victories and led the Hoosiers to their first NCAA playoff birth in 1996.  His win total currently places him in the top 50th on the NCAA all-time win list.  He is known as an excellent motivator of players and coaches alike, as well as a detailed-oriented instructor.  The MBCA is honored and pleased to have Coach Morgan come speak about both hitting and pitching.  He will be speaking about not only the necessary drills to help your players develop, but also about setting your program’s philosophy for success.

Coach Sullivan is quickly making a name for himself in the ACC as he works with the outfielders — a position that Boston College has seen great development.  Lexington HS graduate Chris Shaw (2015 1st Rounder of the SF Giants) developed his outfield skills under Coach Sullivan after coming in as an infielder.  The MBCA is excited to hear Coach Sullivan talk about how to maximize the development of your outfielders as well as how to improve your team’s running game offensively.
