Bravehearts Add Two to Coaching Staff
Saturday, May 11, 2019
The Bravehearts have added hitting coach Adam Chase and Pitching Coach Tyler Kelly.
Both are currently coaching in New England college programs, and they will join the Bravehearts for the first team workouts on Memorial Day Weekend.
Adam Chase
Chase is a 2018 graduate of Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, NH and a current Assistant Coach for the program under Head Coach Mike Chambers.
A native of Bridgewater, MA and three-year letterwinner at Bridgewater-Raynham High School, he played four seasons for the Franklin Pierce Ravens as an outfielder while collecting several awards along the way.
"Adam is a young, energetic coach who is a great addition to round out our staff. His experience as a player, attitude and leadership will go a long way with our hitters this summer,” said Bravehearts manager Alex Dion.
In his current role at the college, he is responsible for recruiting evaluations, workouts and on-campus visits for a program that has qualified for the Northeast-10 championship in each of the 19 seasons since joining the league— winning five titles.
Tyler Kelly
Kelly comes to the Bravehearts from Springfield College, where he is the current Pitching Coach for his alma mater.
"Tyler is an excellent addition to our staff. He is mature beyond his years and brings a wealth of knowledge to our organization. Springfield College has been lucky to have him for the past two years and he has done great things with that program as a player and now a coach. I am excited to watch him continue to grow as a coach and am confident in the impact he will have on our pitching staff,” said Dion.
Kelly was a four-year member of the Pride baseball team and was a starting pitcher who finished his career with a record of 9-4 in 92.0 innings. The Virginia-native joined the Springfield College staff as a Graduate Assistant in 2017.
He spent last summer as a coach in the New England Collegiate Baseball League with the Mystic Schooners and plans to move to Worcester this summer as he pursues his career in teaching.
