I've asked alot of the college coaches in the Houston area as well as nationally and they have never heard of Englishbey.Howard Dobson is from the area and he has never seen or heard of any kids he's worked,he was the hitting coach at Houston and Oklahoma and those teams hit.Who has Englishbey worked with?
Now that's a long subject. How should one evaluate instructors. Steve is very careful about claiming a student. Even when a student gives him credit for improved performance he won't accept credit unless he knows how and what the hitter has worked on and sees what the hitter is doing now in games. On the other hand, a certain college team known for their power bought one of a certain well known instructor's tapes. Said instructor then claimed credit for the college team's hitting power on his website. When I talked to the college coach about it, coach said no, we didn't use it. Steve has spent time on the field with hitters and coaches of top programs but you won't see him talking about it on his website. He talks about the information, what elite hitters do, his thoughts on it, motor learning ideas etc. He has an active website where you can read his stuff and others questions and comments along with video clips of kids new to his ideas as well as more advanced hitters working on his ideas.
