Services
Hitting
There really isn’t just one way to hit. I will work with the foundation that has already been established, remove bad habits by locating the problem and repetition, work on the mental approach and ensure the best hitting position when the ball is in the air. Topics include hitting to the opposite field, bunting, and two strike approach.
Fielding (Infield)
Soft hands and good footwork will be the focal point in the infield. Again, bad habits will be removed by locating the bad habit and repetition. The topics are double plays, cut offs and relays, slow hit balls, throwing and fielding mechanics.
Baserunning
I can work with the baserunning part of the game. This will mainly be about base stealing, reads, what to watch on the pitcher, stealing off a lefty and stealing third.
Pitching, Outfield, Catching
I can work with all three of these aspects. Pitchers on throwing strikes, pitch grips, slide step, reading the hitter and fielding the position. Outfielders we can work on jumps, reads, angles, throwing and positioning. Also, we would have the means to work with catchers on game calling, throwing, receiving and blocking.
