In the All Star Baseball Academy Instructor’s Spotlight, ASBA presents Keith Falcone. Keith is the Assistant Manager of our Downingtown facility. Keith also gives lessons on pitching, hitting, and fielding, and has been doing so for the last four years.
“What I enjoy the most about giving lessons is watching a player progress not only physically, but mentally as well,” said Falcone. “I also enjoy hearing about some of the great results that occur due to their hard work.”
In high school, Keith played four years of Varsity for Bishop Shanahan, and graduated from there in 1998. He was one of the top starting pitchers for a squad that made it to four District 1AA title games, winning two of them. When he wasn’t pitching, he was the team’s starting shortstop as well. On top of this, he was a member of Delaware Valley’s 1997 Bronze medal team in the Keystone State Games.
After high school, Keith went on to play three years of college baseball at York College, where he majored in Marketing. He was their number 2 starter in his junior and senior years. During his junior year in 2002, he was named the All-South Region Pitcher of the Year. That same year, the team was ranked 14th in the nation, and was one win away from claiming the South Region title. As a senior, he was named a team captain.
Keith joined the ASBA family in August of 2007, and has created a great reputation as a teacher of the game at all age levels. Along with giving lessons, Keith has also coached teams ranging in age from 9 to 18 year olds.
When asked for a fun fact about himself, Keith noted that he was a member of the first ever Uwchlan Eagles Jr. Legion Team in 1994. This was the team that he hit his first career home run for, which was a walk-off grand slam.
