Little League Coaching Tips for Practice Planning, Rules and Strategy
Coaching a Little League team can be fun and rewarding. Coaching a Little League team can also be extremely difficult for those who underestimate the importance of preparation and education. This is not only true for those who have little experience with baseball. Those who are former players and avid MLB fans also need the proper preparation and education to be a successful Little League coach. Success should not be measured in wins and losses but rather the overall experience that can be provided to the team.

Observations From the World Series: Pitcher’s Pronating Throwing Hand
This is part three of a three part post on observations from the 2012 World Series.
I’m not much of a pitching guru, but it caught my eye when I saw in super slow motion during the World Series what a pitcher’s hand actually does after release of the ball. As a right-handed thrower, the hand actually turns hard to the left after release (pronation) on a fastball. Follow the link below to see what I mean with Tim Lincecum. Does your pitching coach teach this? Does he have to or is it a natural reaction? Food for thought. Consult your local pitching professional.
How To Practice Swinging A Bat
We have talked several times about the bat path and its importance. It is one of the hardest parts of the swing to master because it is a reaction and hard to control. There a several moving parts that all need to be coordinated to optimize it. If one or more breaks down, the bat gets “offline” with the pitch and leads to inconsistent contact. It must be practiced over and over again to perfect.
