    Help with hitting mechanics

    I like this posture here. I agree with the shoulders rotation but the hands have to also learn how to be involved in turning the barrel. She’s has a huge up side IMO. Great work!!

    Less than a superstar at teaching pitching

    I have a similar story in my area. Big name college player back in her day, not much of a coach IMO judging by the girls I've seen her coach. Parents drink the cool-aid all the time.

    What should she work on?

    I like hitting out of a 45. Here is one of my students hitting off the pitching machine. Hope it helps.

    Swinging under the ball

    When I coached my GD in 8U, she only practiced and hit out of a 45. She was often late to both load and swing. I'd front toss and tell her verbally when to swing. After some time , she figured out to swing on time. There is a lot to process and the journey is long. Now, at 14 we are still...

    POLL- would you pay this?

    Jimmy K., is a great coach and person IMO. He came out to PGF looking at his recruits and agreed to see one of my students that had went to one of his camps. She wasn't up to Oregon standards but stayed the whole game sharing recruiting stories. The next year, the coaching staff leave Oregon...

    Sprinter Stance Style Pitcher

    Follow up to a post almost a year old. The FootDoctor has relocated to the Los Angeles area and I was able to take my granddaughter for a lesson. I’ve been learning from him on line for a few years so the in person lessons are great.

    Nice share RAD I think I know the player but I’m trying to figure out the flaw

    Mike Stith told me this...

    The better hitters usually don't miss and will drive the pitcher's mistakes. The average hitter fouls off or mis-hits those same pitches. The better hitters, at least the HS kids i see, are on time and can adjust better to the pitch thrown. Don't take 400 hitter and turn her in to a 200 hitter.
