    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.

    Defacing the Ball

    I've seen umpires do this exact thing at the plate meeting.

    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.

    Coaches getting paid

    I'm a HS coach in Ca. The job starts in September and ends in June. I clear $5,500 for the season. I split it with my 3 assistant coaches. Not getting rich out here but I love it. I know some big TB programs make $$$.

    10u Pitching

    I should have mentioned we usually play 1 day tournaments usually 5 games hour twenty drop dead in a day. It gives our #2-3 a chance to pitch in meaningful games. We have an average team with some great kids that enjoy softball and each other. We wanted a bigger challenge getting ready for HS

    10u Pitching

    It's only the best if it works because it doesn't always. Try and get to the chip with your best pitcher as fresh as possible. We've lost in pool play against other teams number 1 and our #2 or 3 and beat them in the semi's . We've also been put out with our number 1 on the bench by...

    Why I *still* coach

    My grand kids are amazed that every ice cream truck in the area knows me by my 1st name, over 30 years in the local parks and ballfields.

    Bucket dad help

    I broke down your daughters mechanics a little further. The biggest two things are the left knee getting parallel and the ball near the hip so the timing can improve.
