Caleb Cotham
ML Pitching Coach, Phillies Former Director of Pitching, Reds
"Kyle helped me on so many levels as a player and continued that as a colleague. His attention to detail, conviction, and systematic view of developing pitchers is second to none. His blend of what needs to be done now paired with a pulse on the future is a separator."
Dick Williams
Former President of Baseball Operations
"As someone who came into baseball from the outside, I always appreciated diverse perspectives and encouraged innovation. Kyle was a disruptor who has had an outsized impact on the way people think about pitching. Specifically, at the Reds, he accomplished a tremendous amount in a short period of time. He helped communicate some very complex technological advancements to both coaches and players and made his mark on our Player Development approach. We saw some very impactful results on the field and many Reds pitchers will continue to benefit from his influence in the future."
CJ Gillman
Hitting Coordinator
"Kyle has a great mind for systematic player development. His experience and objective evaluation has led him to a very clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t. He’s built scalable processes to improve pitchers individually and collectively, and the results are undeniable. Kyle fosters an undeniable culture of hard work and greatness amongst his group, and he leads the way with his own example."
Will Gilmore
High Performance Coordinator
"Working alongside Kyle was a valuable experience as he was always looking to improve current processes. Although in different departments, Kyle was open to discussions on collaboration and how we could combine data to form a more detailed picture of the problem at hand. His drive to improve was contagious."
Bryan Conger
Pitching Coordinator
"Kyle is an innovator and cultivator. He was able to incorporate an innovative systematic approach to player development on the minor league side that allowed us to see what player development could be and more importantly what it should be. At the same time he was able to cultivate a culture of accountability and responsibility from the staff to the players that lead to remarkable gains in only one competitive season."
Casey Weathers
Rehab Pitching Coach
"Kyle's detailed feedback was crucial to increasing my work quality without micromanagement. His high expectations were also able to stretch my abilities appropriately. There are several instances of initiatives I thought would be outside of my capabilities that I now can execute as part of daily functions. Lastly, I appreciate the autonomy I was allowed to operate. I was hired to help change the way rehab functioned and I was absolutely empowered to do that with ample positive reinforcement."
Forrest Herrmann
Daytona Beach Pitching Coach
"Kyle operates with a high level of transparency and authenticity when leading employees. It is very clear what mission the team is working towards. He trusts his people to do high quality work and supports them by developing educational material, systems, and offering support. His drive and clarity creates a great work environment where employees are pushed, feel empowered and are prepared to make good day to day decisions."
Brian Garman
Dayton Pitching Coach
"The entire department was educated, held accountable to high standards, and communicated as well as any single department in all of baseball under Kyle’s leadership. There was total transparency from Kyle to his coaches, and he held us accountable for being the exact same way with our players. There is nobody I’d rather work for, and there is nobody that an organization needs more than Kyle Boddy."

"Having Kyle Boddy as our Director of Pitching was an advantage for me. Kyle pushed me as a pitcher and taught me how to develop myself into who I became this past season, and he held the pitching coaches accountable for pushing us during the season."
Bryce Bonnin
"Kyle is one of the most intense competitors I've ever been around. The culture he brings gets people excited to show up to work everyday. He doesn't just come to win, he shows up ready to dominate. It doesn't matter where you came from - he invests heavily in all of his players, and in return, they become motherfuckers on the mound. Whever he lands, players will have success."
Jacques Pucheu
"Kyle Boddy as a coordinator was a blessing for my career. He provided tons of tools and resources, while building personal relationships with many guys, and he helped place in my eyes the perfect pitching coach at each affiliate for the needs of the players."
Vin Timpanelli
"Kyle as the pitching coordinator knew what he was looking for, why he was looking for it, and knew where to find it. He also communicated these to his players and staff. The message and goal was clear, everybody knew what it was and how to obtain it."
Spencer Stockton
"Every arm in the organization that bought into what Kyle was preaching drastically improved their game. Kyle is changing the game of baseball for the better. The numbers the Reds minor league pitching staff put up in 2021 are a testament to his ability to develop pitching."
Carson Spiers
"Having the opportunity to learn from Kyle for a little over a year has given me such an advantage when it comes to being a complete pitcher. The consistent work and passion that is displayed to become 1% better everyday has shown me what it truly takes to be a professional. I now understand the standard and work that it takes to be the absolute best I can be."
Stevie Branche
"Kyle is beyond connected with all his athletes and really made it a priority to get to know each of them to further help their career. He is genuine, honest, and upfront in all aspects of the game and as a coordinator to players. He is able to bring out the best in each player and expand on it."
Noah Davis
"Working under Kyle I experienced the best working environment of my entire career. By creating clear objectives and tracking our progress on both an individual and team level, we were able to take the guesswork out of the equation and focus on a clear path towards player development. Under Kyle, the path to the big leagues seemed more attainable than ever before."
Braxton Roxby
"It was amazing to see from the inside out how much of an impact Kyle had on our organization. I had the opportunity to be a part of a culture that was based around analytical development and educating each and every person that was a part of it."
Joe Boyle
"Kyle was my first coordinator in pro ball and did a great job of giving us plenty of resources to develop ourselves as well as creating an honest, growth-minded culture. He hired smart coaches and was straightforward about what it takes to move up in the system."
Jared Solomon
"Kyle brought an overhaul of an entire organization's pitching development while also being able to focus in on the individual pitchers development. None of this would have been possible without a clear direction which is what I found to be the most important."
Brandon Bailey
"During my 6 years in professional baseball, I can say with 100% confidence that Kyle Boddy is the best pitching coordinator I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His attention to detail, knowledge of the art of pitching, and professionalism are second to none. Kyle genuinely cares about the development of his athletes and is willing to do whatever it takes to help them reach their goals."
Art Warren
"I'm in year seven of my professional career, and I've had the privilege to be coached by many over the decade. Kyle stands out as one of the most knowledgable coaches I've had experience with. The pitch quality across our organization represents the body of work he put forth in his time with the Reds. I appreciated the authenticity Kyle brought to each conversation; there is no beating around the bush, and he's very passionate about his work product. For high level athletes, that's extremely valuable."
Ryan Nutof
"Kyle's plans for a reimagined rehab program is well thought out and I feel like I have been well prepared for every next step the program has. The technical implementation of using radar guns and Pulse in the throwing program should be the standard for all rehab programs. It’s a much better tool than ones own “feel” to measure output and effort levels. Overall I’m extremely happy with the program and where I am at because of it. I truly believe it will put me ahead of where I previously was before surgery even."
