At nearly every level of baseball, often if you ask a question you can easily expose how little some coaches know. Buzz words are easy, knowledge is harder. If a coach can't or won't tell you why a drill, technique or strategy works or what it's purpose is, you can bet they don't know.
That is why it is critical that you ask WHY. Sometimes it has to be asked differently. Like: Coach, I'm not sure I'm doing this right, what should I be feeling? If I do it right, what does this help me with? What is the best way to take this feeling and blend it to game situations?
A good coach will be excited that you actually asked. If they don't answer your question, #1 don't burn your bridge by being a smartarse,,, but then research it on your own, if you want to get better, you need to understand the Why to perfect the How.
