with Brian Cleary,
University of Cincinnati Head Coach

Coach Cleary's goal in this DVD is to give coaches a chance to learn how to efficiently teach hitting to their players. Cleary begins his presentation with hitting mechanics. Simplifying the elements of hitting is key for player production.
The ultimate goal is to give the barrel of the bat its best chance to hit the ball. Cleary covers the proper mechanics of hitting, including the set up, grip and a flex in a wrist.
Cleary also talks about pre-movement or the hitting position. Use of the body and hands are important to the swing and they work in unison.
The swing concludes with the finish, a roll of the wrist. Cleary breaks down the psychology of being at bat, discussing the handling different pitches, different locations and hitting or refusing pitches.
