What’s Rob Reading?

American Baseball Coaches Association 2023 logo“American Baseball Coaches Association convention wrap-up”
By Kyle Boddy, Driveline Baseball

“It’s amazing to watch ABCA’s national convention growth year over year – there were nearly 8,000 coaches in attendance! Every year baseball coaches get together to check out the trade show, hear talks, and share information. Nashville always dominates the attendance records. Our hottest product was our @DrivelineBB Smash Factor balls. We solved a problem we had internally – low-weight hitting balls that are durable, w/ realistic flight, machine-compatible – and it has been flying off our shelves. We sold over 400 dozen of them at ABCA alone!”
