Head Coach's info

Adam Ferris

Coach Ferris is entering his 2nd season with the Nitro program in 2025-26. He graduated from Bishop Chatard High School (Indianapolis), lettering four years while also playing travel ball with the Indiana Bulls. He earned a scholarship as a pitcher at Purdue-Fort Wayne, where he still holds individual records and earned a B.S. in Biology.

Having coached youth baseball at various levels for the last 15+ years, Coach Ferris has enjoyed building and leading competitive teams. The life-long relationships formed with players and parents over the years have fueled his success, and Coach Ferris can’t wait to march on with the Nitro Nation. He and his wife, Kathleen, live in Westfield and have three kids—Blake, Luke, and Annie.
