Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I'll begin with exercises to get the body ready.
Baseball:
For defense I'll want to improve the clients reflexes/reaction. I'll evaluate if my client has any fear of the baseball (the cause of bad defense can be mental and comes from being scared of getting hit by the baseball or fearing the force of the baseball.) We'll do plenty of basics like catching groundballs, flyballs, line drives, etc. We will also do plenty of fundamental infield drills and outfield drills. We will also do drills with tennis balls, for clients that want to improve their reflexes/reaction to the next level I will add dodgeball and racquetball drills.
For offense we'll do fundamental swinging drills. I'll evaluate the clients stance and try to perfect their swinging mechanics. Once the client has a comfortable perfect stance and swing we'll move on to basic batting drills. I like doing overhand throws with my secret recipe, this drill is hard but I noticed it has improved past kids I trained the most. We'll also do batting drills vs each type of pitch. We will end it with bunting practice.
For pitching I go by my motto "your favorite and the fast should never touch the bat." I always make sure my students favorite type of pitch and their fastballs are perfect. If my clients can't throw a strike at will when they're pitching a fastball or their favorite type of pitch than I am failing as a coach. Before any pitching of course I will evaluate their stance, wind up, leg lift, etc. I'll teach them different ways of pitching the ball. I will focus on how to hide the ball while also maximize the power in their release.
