TEE WORK - if you have a batting tee, a net to hit into, and a bucket of baseballs, you're in business! THROW - don't have a partner? You can still work on your arm strength by taking a bucket of balls and throwing into a backstop or net. PRIVATE BASEBALL LESSONS - through the end of Oct

Learning and knowing when NOT to coach may be one of the best youth baseball coaching tips you will ever receive. There's a classic scene early in the movie Bull Durham where Kevin Costner's Crash Davis character goads young stud pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh into a brief fight behind Mitch's Bar. After landing a solid punch, Davis helps Nuke up off a pile of garbage saying, "You just got lesson number one - don't think...it can only hurt the ball club." I've used variat

Some years ago, I had the opportunity to ask former Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek a question about youth baseball, specifically, pitchers. I asked him what was the best advice he could give young pitchers and Jason's response was direct and to-the-point - "Control your breathing." We've all seen that young pitcher on the mound. He's staring in at the batter while his team clings to a one-run lead late in the game. His teammates, coaches, and parents are all cheering

We're getting back to baseball - make sure you're ready for your summer league and tournament games.

So in addition to this baseball thing... I've enjoyed a career in radio that has taken me from Morristown NJ to NYC and back again.
