What is the Purpose of this Site- Regarding Hitting

Then what is this site doing for the young player whose parents cannot afford to hire a hitting coach?

IMO that is where this site becomes even more valuable to players/parents.

quote:

With all due respect I believe the hitting/ pitching discussions are more for teaching assistance for coaches-- I do not believe kids learn hitting by watching videos of others--coaches learn the nuances of hitting by watching videos and then using that additional knowledge to assist their players

Folks, this is wrong......Watching video is for players and parents.....You can't count on coaches for the most part..........

You know what happens?????? The kids leave.

Do you mean...hmmmm...a longtime contributer leaves???

Would be curious to know how many here have received videoanalysis without monetary gain ever a consideration.

Would bet house and farm that BBscout has done this for a number that exceeds comprehension.

I agree with BlueDog completely. This should not be a discussion thread for hitting coaches. The kids should not be run off and neither should contributors.

IMHO on this site too much acumen is bestowed on hitting coaches and not enough gravitas is conceded to the parents and the kids. They could pick a lot of it up if they were welcomed and not shunned or attacked. Certainly they could at least look at videos that everyone agrees show good hitting and compare that of their son. Why find fault with that?

IMHO
We all can learn small things from each other and discard the other stuff w/o the bashing. Linear vs rotational people can all get along if you just understand that there are differnet ways to skin a cat. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
