Your home for youth baseball coaching information. I have taken full advantage of all of your coaching tools, drills and articles on your site. I have gone from a Dad getting involved to one of the most in demand managers in our league. Winning is fun, but it is not a priority for me.

The coach will soft toss each pitch to the hitter from the side. The hitter must swing at each pitch. After each hitter, the defense will rotate one position. We rotate around the infield from 1st to 3rd, then to left field and around to right. The right fielder will then move to first. Why MLB hitters can't hit Jennie Finch and science behind reaction time. No MLB team has used a left-handed catcher since the Pittsburgh Pirates put Benny Distefano behind the plate in 1989.
