Eleven years of professional baseball playing experience, along with twelve years of providing lessons, gives Mitch the ability to implement the proper training and coaching techniques that will help you to be the best all-around player you can be.
Frame by frame video analysis software will be used during both pitching and hitting lessons to help in teaching proper mechanics. The software allows for side by side evaluation to track a student’s progress. It also provides a database of Major League Baseball hitters/pitchers and Olympian softball hitters to be used as an instruction tool and during side by comparisons.
Pitching Lesson Covers 6 Basic Areas:
1) Pitching Mechanics: Stay healthy and increase velocity with control.
2) Throwing Program: Individual throwing program to prevent injury from over throwing and under throwing.
3) Pitching Techniques: Learn how to identify hitters, & pitch to their weakness. Learn how to pitch, not just throw.
4) Grips: 4 seam fastball, 2 seam fastball / sinker, change up, and for the older more advanced players, curveball, cut fastball, and/or slider.
5) Holding Runners: Learn how to control the running game, and learn pick off moves.
6) Pitching Drills: Personalized drills that will help improve and maintain skill level; video will be used as a teaching tool and for college recruiting.
Hitting Lesson Covers 2 Basic Areas:
1) Hitting Mechanics: Learn proper hitting mechanics for a consistent compact powerful swing. A consistent and well-timed swing gives a player the best possible chance to make contact with fastballs, curve balls, change-ups, etc.
2) Hitting Drills: Hitting drills will be used to help break down a swing into three simple steps. Frame by frame video will also be used to help analyze a swing allowing a player to see what he/she is doing right and/or wrong.
