Today, we mourn the passing of one of the most influential figures in the history of the American Baseball Coaches Association and amateur baseball.
Dave Keilitz devoted more than six decades to serving the game as a player, coach, athletic director, ABCA Executive Director, mentor and friend. His vision transformed the ABCA, strengthened baseball at every level and impacted generations of coaches and student-athletes.
More importantly, Dave made everyone around him feel valued. His kindness, integrity and unwavering commitment to others will be remembered just as much as his extraordinary accomplishments.
We invite you to join us in celebrating Dave's remarkable life and legacy by reading our tribute. Please keep the Keilitz family in your thoughts and prayers.

You will not ever meet a better person and advocate for college baseball than Dave Keilitz. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, and am honored to have known him. Thank you for everything you did for @NCAABaseball and the @ABCA1945, pal.
For 60+ years Dave Keilitz poured his heart and soul into Central Michigan University.
• All-American student-athlete
• Championship Head Coach
• Successful Athletic Director
• Hall of Famer
He was patient, kind and always respectful.
A true Chippewa legend forever.
RIP.
