rcpatriot Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Don't know if he's out of the hospital or not yet, but Aaron Small in Loudon has worked with several in the knoxville and surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish423 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I hear corral is taking the open memphis job so he wont be in the knoxville area much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTV Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Glenn Swaggerty (former Carter High, long time minor league pitcher in the Cubs organization) is one of the better pitching instructors in the Knoxville area. He worked with our summer league pitchers for a couple of years and really helped our guys. Steve Searcy, who played at Knoxville Central, UT, and was a long time professional pitcher (if memory serves he made it to the bigs for a cup of coffee) has a good reputation as a pitching instructor, as well. He was working with Thunder Baseball when I was still coaching, but since I have been out of it for about 5 years now I'm not sure if he is still in town or still affiliated with Thunder.

Irish423 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Joey Seaver who works for Walter State knows his stuff. He's worked with the Red Sox, Carson Newman, and Walters and is pretty well known. I'm pretty good friends with his son and he's easy to work with and knows his stuff. Former UT player and drafted and signed with the brewers. Also, Joe O'Brien that works some with catholic during the fall is a distinguished UT alumni and had stints with MLB teams.
