Coach William Brennan

William grew up in Tampa, FL where his pitching career began when he was just 6 years old! Always an all-star pitcher, he played his high school ball in Nashville, TN. He then attended Mercer University in Macon, GA. After compiling a record of 6 and 1 his junior year William was scouted heavily, and in 1985 signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Dodgers.  After one year in single-A ball in Vero Beach, FL, one year in double-A ball in San Antonio, TX, William was promoted to triple-A Albuquerque, NM in just his third year. That year, after compiling double figures in wins, he capped off the season as the winning pitcher in the final game of the 1987 Pacific Coast League Championship. William was later voted the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year. That same winter he won the final game of the Dominican Republic Championship Series.

In 1988, after recording a 14 and 8 season in triple-A Albuquerque,  William earned his first call-up to pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers. That year he received his World Championship ring and trophy as the Dodgers went on to win the World Series. After being drafted away from the Dodgers in 1990, William spent time with the Houston Astros, Montreal Expos, Atlanta Braves, and the Detroit Tigers organizations. In 1992 he was signed by the Chicago Cubs to pitch in Triple-A Des Moines, IA. In 1993 he accomplished a first in his career. William led the American Association in strikeouts with 143. He also earned a spot in the big leagues where he went 2 and 1 in 8 games.

Since 1991 William has been a private instructor and has developed a keen sense for teaching proper pitching mechanics to all ages. In 2002 and 2003 he was the pitching coach for the North Cobb Christian varsity team. From 2004 to 2006 William was the pitching coach for Kennesaw State University. After a 10 year professional career William draws from his experiences with many, many different pitching coaches and their approaches to the game. The impressive list of coaches includes Ron Perinoski (former Dodger), Dave Wallace (former Met), Leo Mazone (Braves), Brent Strom (former Royal), Oscar Acosta (Cubs), and his favorite coach of all, Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax.
