Andrew Keirstead - Varsity Pitching Coach
Andrew Keirstead has played baseball for over eight years and taken on the role of a coach the last three years. With three years of high school baseball under his belt, one year of prep school, four years of college baseball at Saint Joseph’s College, and a year playing with the Sanford Mainers, it’s hard to just give up a sport. That’s why this year he has returned as the Westbrook Varsity Baseball Pitching Coach. He graduated from Westbrook High School in 2005 and received the Maine State MVP his senior year for baseball. At Saint Joseph’s College he received GNAC tournament MVP his sophomore year. He helped coach this team last year, worked with the junior and senior legion teams and helped lead the Junior Legion team to the Northeast Regional Championship. He’s also provided private pitching lessons at Maine Hits since 2010. Now he’s looking to give back to the Westbrook community by working for the Westbrook High School and coaching this year’s Varsity Blue Blazes.

Having 3 sons, Flynn was actively involved in Little League, coaching at every level, including: minors, majors, juniors and seniors.
