Throwing Mechanics: Why so poor after playing for years?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Chad Moeller Jan 23, 2012. 11 Replies

Hitting for the Cycle

LA Angels outfielder Mike Trout hit for the cycle yesterday, which apparently started some reminiscing: A family member found and sent me this link to the boxscore from the cycle I hit for in 2004.  It also got me to do some research into the accomplishment.  Here are some of the more interesting facts I found:Two current teams in Major League Baseball have never had a player hit for the cycle: the Miami…See More

How to be a Better Baseball Player

I recently received a question from a player who attended my Baseball Camp and it read “I really like playing baseball although I may not have the same natural abilities as some of my teammates.  What do I need to do to get better?”Playing baseball is one of the great life lessons.  The game will teach so many intangibles that it is almost immeasurable.  One aspect of the game that happens at every level…See More

Hitting the Breaking Ball - Angled Front Toss Drill

One of the hardest things as a hitter, we try to do is hit a breaking ball.  A Curve Ball, a Slider – it really doesn’t matter.  We try to time ourself with a fastball, but that timing is off if we get a pitch that is going away from you or cutting across you.  I have a drill that is going to help you with that to make you a more complete hitter.  You can see I have Coach Casey over here, and I have the L screen set.  It is offset.  He is actually going to be throwing from behind me.  The ball…See More
