I would like this group to settle a coaching difference -- what is the toughest pitch to bunt? The point is to instruct pitchers and catchers on what to throw in a bunting situation.

Thanks

I think Nicko was just showing one of his students working hard in the cage in the video.

I agree what is the point of this video?
Ryan Solberger Comment by Ryan Solberger on February 6, 2010 at 1:06pm
Not really sure what the point of that video was. How is some guy hitting in the cage helpful? There was no explanation of any kind of drill???

Nice. We have unlimited training workouts and game videos that the MLPO will release daily. So many future major league players will be able to promote their skills and learn how to WORK HARD! to get to the SHOW.

Great stuff! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Eugene. I truly appreciate any tips that we can get to teach our future generation of players how to play the game better.

As a Coach now for several years in several different age groups including the whiners known as the MSBL, it's interesting to get all the different takes on hitting and various forms of instruction but there always seems to be one consistent theme. Better than 90% of the conversation is always talking about the love of the game leading to a better thought process on instruction and working at the little details that turn a good hitter into a great hitter or pitcher or fielder. If you don't love the game, but love it because one of your parents tells you too, you're not going to get much out of it. My philosophy has always been to enjoy the game itself and the rest will fall into play. Seasoned Coaches miss this and it's kind of sad. All they think about is you have to practice, practice, practice, practice. Yeah, well, that's somewhat true. But unless you truly enjoy the game, what makes it tick and just incredibly fascinating the game is on a whole, you're simply going to show up and play and not realize what a great game it is to play.
