He continued catching until his senior year in college, when he converted to pitching. The transition came quick and within his first 5 starts he ranked #3 in the country in strike outs per nine innings.

Coach Stone’s comments on Travis Kerber – “We’re thrilled to be able to build our brand with the likes of Travis Kerber.  He is the most diverse instructor I’ve ever been around.  His personality and communication skills have made him an “instant hit” with younger players, and his research and knowledge of high end hitting and pitching mechanics has helped him develop some of the region’s top players.  I always tell people, if it were my own son, I’d be taking him to Travis. In fact, I’d put him up with any instructor in professional baseball as well.”
