Danny Price
Head Coach
Danny Price begins his first year as the head baseball coach at Miami Dade College, a position previously held by such legends as Steve Hertz, Charlie Greene and Demie Mainieri.
Price replaces Hertz, who was MDC's head coach for 26 years and retired after the 2010 season. Price is also a veteran of the dugout, having served as the head coach at Florida International University from 1980 to 2007. During that span, Price compiled a
record of 1,086-597 and helped the program grow from Division II to Division I. He was named Trans America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1991, 1995 and 1998. He also led FIU to eight NCAA Division I regionals, accomplishing the feat six times in
his last 11 years at the school. Price, who has coached numerous players who went on to pro baseball, including big-league star Mike Lowell, was a hit from his first season at FIU. Price led FIU to fourth place in the 1980 Division II World Series. Price,
who has a Master's degree in health education from FIU, played for the school's baseball team in 1973-1974. He returned to FIU in 1976 as the school's hitting instructor before ultimately becoming the program's most successful head coach. Now he accepts the
challenge at MDC, which has a rich history in the sport.

II, and NAIA) after careers at MDC. Two (2) of these pitchers received All American Honors at their respective institutions. Also, three (3) were drafted and eventually signed with MLB.
Coach Long is also an Assistant to the Athletic Director, a position he has held since September, 2007.
Prior to coming to MDC, Kevin coached locally at South Dade Senior High School, Miami-Palmetto Senior High School, and Miami-South Ridge Senior High School.
During Summer down time at MDC, Kevin has coached college baseball: 2005 and 2006 - Pitching Coach, Danbury Westerners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL); and 2009
- Interim Pitching Coach, Wareham Gateman, Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL).
Coach Long graduated from A.G. Berner High School in Massapequa Park, New York (1969) where he was an All County pitcher. Coach Long’s college career took him to the University of Dayton
in Ohio, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (1973). While at Dayton, he pitched for four (4) years, and as a senior, he was named the team’s Co-Captain. Kevin continued his education at the University of New Haven in Connecticut where he received
his Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice (1975).
Kevin and his wife Candy, an Office Manager for State Farm Insurance Agent Cookie O’Day, reside just down the road from MDC in Kendall.
