Welcome to Eastbay Hitting Instruction, the premier source for swing instruction for Northern California Eastbay/Tri-Valley area. Below is a basic outline of how I teach hitting.

In Basic swing instruction we will lay the foundation for elite hitting mechanics. Hitters will learn

• Proper body alignment
  
• Ideal bat path
• Utilizing the large muscles of the body to swing the bat

In Intermediate hitting instruction, hitters will develop mechanics that will translate to consistent hitting. Hitters will focus on timing, the area of hitting that receives the least instruction yet is possibly the most important. Hitters' timing will be improved by working on

• the stride. The role of the stride is too often misunderstood and under-emphasized.
• transition from stride to bat launch.
  
• optimizing swing speed.

Hitters will learn HOW to make adjustments in the swing for fastballs and off-speed pitches.

In Advanced instruction, hitters will learn elite mechanics that will separate them from others. Hitters will combine the knowledge from the Basic and Intermediate instruction and incorporate

• advanced loading/unloading body techniques to generate maximum batspeed
• "micromoves" that add big benefits
• efficient practice methods for the most improvement

I hold instruction at the Pleasanton Sports Park off Hopyard.
