Frustrated searching one website after another looking for what you want - Good Solid Baseball Coaching Advice?

Good News - Your Searching and Frustration Has Just Ended.

Welcome to arguably one of … if not, the Best all around Youth Baseball Coaching Site on the Internet.

My name is Jim Bain, Coach, former Pittsburgh Pirate minor league baseball player, Advisor to several baseball/softball youth associations, a Dad…… and this is my website.

This site was conceived and created with the Sole Purpose of providing a place where Coaches, Parents and Players could go to find the most Informative, One Stop search for Baseball Information regarding Tips, Drills, Coaching Philosophies, Strategies and Techniques available.

**** Do you know the difference between a good major league catcher and a Hall of Fame Catcher?

Would you believe a difference of (.2) of a second! That’s right. (.2) of a second quicker delivery of the ball to second base makes the difference between the runner being out or safe.

There’s a whole section devoted to carefully explaining, in simple & easy to understand language, the different techniques employed by Major League Catchers to improve their Foot Work in order to Explode from out behind the plate.

There are illustrations and drills specifically designed which teach you how to achieve maximum velocity on your throws as well as Pinpoint accuracy. It doesn’t matter if the ball gets there in a hurry, if it sails into right center field. You’ll learn how to prevent this.

**** Why are there so many bad little league Baseball Coaches?

I personally don’t believe there are more than a handful of bad little coaches in the entire country…. But there are literally thousands of Uninformed coaches!!

As I traveled around the Midwest, observing and advising baseball coaching, I was often struck by the lack of quality trained baseball teams I saw play.

I’m not talking about the 40-2 hand picked traveling teams. I’m talking the 6-6 or 0-12 teams. Records meant nothing… it was the Lack of Basic baseball Skills.

Puzzled by what I saw, there were times I’d intentionally meander around the ball field and start up a general conversation with coaches, which of course always quickly turned to baseball. It was during these chats I verified what I had already suspected … these were Great People trying their best. They just didn’t have the Baseball Coaching tools.

**** Do you realize there are several different methods for catching a ground ball depending on numerous factors? Choose the wrong method and chances are the Outfielder will be the player fielding the baseball.

There are sections of in-depth lessons which teach different techniques for fielding a ground ball from “Surrounding” it to “Back Handing” it.

Many ground ball plays on the infield result in a bang-bang play at first base. There are sections dedicated to increasing your hand speed, your footwork, your throwing velocity and accuracy … which will Reduce the time it takes you to get the ball to first. All important in getting that fleet footed runner out in order to get your team out of a jam.

**** Perhaps my anxiety as a kid or my inability to instantly catch onto a new drill, affected the way I approached baseball coaching once I hung up my spikes. I’m a Firm believer if the Coach and/or player did not totally understand the purpose and strategy of a particular drill, it’d be nearly Impossible to learn 100% of the Skill the drill was intended to teach.

That’s why I take a very Different and Perhaps Unique approach to teaching baseball compared to other baseball sites.

You won’t just be exposed to the drill … I will detail the specific purpose for the drill, in-depth demonstrations through illustrations, the Coaching Philosophy behind the drill and then proceed to the next set of drills which serve as building blocks on which to improve a player’s skill.

Baseball coaching is easy if you say “Go out there and Hit the ball.” A whole other matter explaining and showing an inexperienced player how to “Hit the ball.”

So what benefit is this website to me as a Coach? Fair Question since everyone claims to be the best.

**** The brand new coach will be pleasantly surprised to discover this site isn’t only about coaching baseball. They will find a treasure trove of information explaining the internal working of most Youth Baseball Associations, the type of information which could prevent them from making costly mistakes a Newbie makes, because they just didn’t know.

****Subjects from Fund raising to Uniforms to acquiring a team coordinator and coaches will be discussed. Surround yourself with the wrong type of people and your season could be long and troublesome.

The experienced coach will discover unique and advanced tips and drills utilized by higher level, college and minor league baseball, which will help him take his team to the next level of Skill Sets.

**** Not much you can do to increase your running speed?

Think again. There are segments dedicated to techniques, drills and exercises which will greatly increase your foot and mental speed. Speed, of course affects your fielding ability, and there are numerous techniques which will allow you to get a great jump on the ball while increasing your speed to the ball.

**** Think you know how to steal bases? Know how to turn a single into a double? There’s nothing that will take the air out of a team’s sails quicker than a runner being put out trying to advance another base.

You lose the runner and you give the other team an out. Terrible rally breaker. There are dozens of techniques and skills explained which will keep you from making this Huge mistake.
