The Rooster Logo


DeHaan Baseball decided to use a Rooster as the logo for many reasons, but the main one was because of the Dutch heritage of the meaning of DeHaan.  If you translate DeHaan into the Dutch language, you get “The Rooster”.  In life, your name is a big deal because it represents who you are and where you have come from.  It was important to DeHaan Baseball to create a logo with special ties to who and what they were about. 

A Rooster is intriguing because it truly is a leader. 
  • It is a consistent, reliable, morning wake-up call that lets you know it’s time to get going.  It’s going to be another great day!  
  • The Rooster is an over seer.  Often times, he perches on top of the barn to look out for trouble and to make sure everyone is being cared for.  
  • Roosters like to be the main bird and will fight viciously to defend its honor and stay the top bird.  
  • They have pride in who they are and what they do.  
  • Roosters have a quiet confidence in their eyes, and know what they can do.  
  • They are very agile and can be quick and responsive when adjustments need to be made.  
  • Roosters can come from many different countries, in many different colors, shapes, and sizes, yet a Rooster will always stay true to his core values.


It’s going to be a great day, so Wake Up the Player and start your day the Rooster way with DeHaan Baseball.

Welcome from Kory

Welcome and Thanks for checking out our site!  DeHaan Baseball was established to help serve the needs of players and their parents by bringing elite, professional instruction and training to our local neighborhoods.

When I was growing up in Pella, Iowa, I would have given anything to talk and learn from a former Major League baseball player.  Through hard work, resiliency, and a willingness to be uncommon, I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to play in the Major Leagues.  Now as a professional baseball coach, I am able to serve and teach aspiring Big League players what it will take to play at the highest level.

I have gained valuable experience from playing and coaching over the years, and I still have much to learn.  Our desire at DeHaan Baseball is to meet you where you are at, communicate how we can best serve you, and then form a growth plan we can both commit to.

We understand that Rome was not built in a day, and neither will your baseball mechanics and habits be transformed over night.  Together, we will trust in the process knowing that every day we need to show up ready to learn and grow our talents and abilities towards championship baseball.

I am looking forward to working with you as we pursue baseball excellence together!

Sincerely,

Kory DeHaan
