About
I have been a Counselor, Baseball Coach, Baseball Director, Director & Owner of Baseball Camps since 1968. In 1985 I started instructing youngsters in the area with the proper mechanics of hitting a baseball.
My hitting technique is most closely associated with rotational hitting, which is hitting against your front leg, not to be confused with linear hitting which is hitting or shifting onto your front leg.
Regardless of the level of play whether it is T-Ball, Little League, Girls Softball, High School Baseball or Softball and Collegiate levels, athletes who are taught and learn the proper hitting techniques will be recognized as having outstanding baseball fundamentals by those who know and understand the game.
I have instructed and coached thousands of athletes, many of whom have received sports scholarships to play Baseball. Some have gone on to play professional Baseball such as :
Bernie Williams (NY Yankees)
Jon Alexander (KC Royals)
Mel Stottlemyre Jr. (KC Royals)
Todd Stottlemyre (Toronto Blue Jays)
Brad Ausmus (Houston Astros)
Shawn Brown (Detroit Tigers)
Tim Adkins (Toronto Blue Jays)
George Sandel (NY Mets)
Zach Minor (Detroit Tigers)
Andy Abad (Boston Redsox)
Roy Silver (St. Louis Cardinals)
Pitche Balet (Seattle Mariners)
Brian Jeroloman (Toronto BlueJays)
Robbie Morrison (KC Royals)
Travis Bailey (St. Louis Cardinals)
Chuck Jeroloman (Boston Red Sox)
Brandon Welch (NY Mets)
Nick Marrell (Texas Rangers)

How did you get started teaching?
I have been teaching baseball at camps for 13 years. Then a father on my team asked me to teach his son and he would pay me $10.00 per hour so I accepted it. Starting charging other people $12.00 per hour in 1985. Now charging $60.00 35 years later. Worked with some major and minor leagueres before they became pros. Love working with young children and seeing them imrove and play high school and college.
