Hitting a baseball is recognized by many as the most difficult skill in sports. It is brutal because even the most successful baseball player, fails most of the time.

I was a youth baseball coach for many years. I entered the coaching arena because my son’s first coach did not give him enough playing time to increase his skill set. The way his first coach ran practices, also frustrated me. I found that he was only making progress when he worked directly with me. So, in his second year of baseball, I became a head coach.
The first thing I realized very quickly was my inability to transfer my

For a youth baseball coach, one cannot emphasize enough the importance of a little bit of planning prior to a game or practice; it makes all of the difference for a smooth running event. A little bit of advanced planning for practices makes the time fly for the players. Good planning also makes it more fun; the players are kept busy and are not bored. Youth baseball practices are notorious for one coach and one player going through a drill, while the remainder of the team looks on in boredom.

In baseball, the starting pitcher may stand in one spot for the vast duration of an inning, yet he’s probably the one player on the team who does the most physical work in a game. Pitching requires an incredible amount of attention, patience, and stamina. It is both a mentally and physically exhausting job, yet
Pitching Mechanics Outrank Strength For Speed and Control

Football is a contact sport, so it makes sense for players to want to bulk up with plenty of muscle and weight to fly across the field making tackles. Baseball, on the other hand, is not a physical sport. While physical skills are certainly required by the game, brute strength isn’t one of them – most especially if you’re a pitcher (who isn’t expected to be the world’s best hitter or runner). Why, then, do too many baseball pitchers train for strength when they should be working on improving baseball pitching techniques?
