One of my players asked me if it was ok to go to a hitting coach who taught 'west coast style " hitting. well I have no idea what that might be? can anyone help me out?
thanks
thanks
Lots of college coaches teach things about hitting that a quick review of elite hitter video would reveal to be in error. Lots of paid instructors as well. Don't know about Princeton but a kid we talked to this weekend just came back from a camp at one of her top two choices. This kid has been schooled from day one, high school and travel, how to swing a bat efficiently. At this D2 school the camp taught something like this. Photo 18 of 31, Analysis When she and her team mate asked the other campers if this didn't seem odd to them, they all answered no, it's what they had been taught all their lives. Then the college hitters did a little demo and stunk. So...west coast hitting? Who knows?
West coast strategy then?!I know JT Gasso is a big fan of Perry Husband, not sure if it is as much the style as much as the analysis side of hitting. Maybe that's the west coast hitting.
Edit- just read west coach style baseball is considered bunts, hit and runs, putting pressure on the defense. Sounds more like the old Oklahoma than the 2021 version
