Lantz Wheeler

I’m the founder of Pitch-a-Palooza and the only reason I created Palooza was out of selfish reasons… true.

After each college baseball I would reach out to what I felt were the top pitching coaches in the country and fly out to visit them. After retiring from the college game, I thought… “Why not bring the top pitching minds to Nashville for 3 days?” 

And that’s how Pitch-a-Palooza was born.
