Hitters Wanted - I Need Your Help!:
I am looking for right-handed hitters between the ages of 14-25 who played competitive baseball last season to take an online survey. This survey asks participants to review 20 baseball specific images and then answer questions about what they see. Participants will also be asked to answer questions or provide information on their baseball background, offensive stats, and general hitting tendencies. This survey should take 10-20 minutes to complete and your participation will be kept confidential.

How to Participate:
If you would like more information please visit my website http://www.jrhits.net and click the link labeled RESEARCH. If you choose to participate you will be asked to fill out an online consent form. After I receive the form I will send you a confirmation email. This email will contain directions and a unique password to access the survey.

Background Information:
My name is Jim Richardson and I have been a member of the HS Baseball Web since 2003. I am a former baseball player, a current HS coach and a graduate student studying psychology. I am currently working on a baseball specific research project entitled 'What Makes Average Baseball Players Above Average'. This project, otherwise known as a thesis is intended to fulfill the requirements of my Masters Degree in Cognitive Psychology.

Thank you for your consideration
Jim Richardson

We can't solve problems by using the same sort of thinking we did when we created them.

I apologize that it has taken me a while to respond. I just checked the site after I returned from Nashville and the ABCA Clinic.

There is a very simple explanation to your question ... I only had enough "funding" to create a right handed version of the survey. I applied for grants last summer but found that not many bigwigs want to pay for baseball research. (If anyone knows somebody who does, send them my way.)

Let me know if you have any other questions. If you would like to ask a question, but prefer not to do it on this board send me an email at: jmr.jr@mac.com
