Sparky's Purpose

A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants!"

Dominican Republic Baseball Tour-Update

From Sam LeBeau:
Dear Coach Pittman,
We have the dates set for next summer’s Dominican Republic Baseball Trips and are in the process of identifying players who want to go.  These trips are a wonderful baseball experience on the island that produces more Major Leaguers, per capita, than any nation in the world.  Each trip will include 15 high school varsity level players and will be coached by a Division I college coach in addition to our ex-pro Dominican Staff.  Trips feature practices, games, tours and other fun activities.
Other important links:
We will be registering players between now and April.  Each session will be filled on a first come-first served basis.  I am confident that any player who participates will have an exciting and rewarding experience with memories that last a lifetime.
Please pass along this email to any of your players who may be interested.  Please call or email to discuss further.  Let me know if you will be at the ABCA conference next month and perhaps we can meet up there.
Sincerely,
Sam LeBeau

 “I have been around baseball all my life as a amateur player, professional player, and as a coach.  I can say without a doubt Dominican Baseball Camp is one of the best baseball experiences in my life, it not the best!  Sam LeBeau’s philosophy of making the kids live baseball “Dominican Style” for a week is educational and rewarding. The players come back better baseball players and better people.  I had no idea what to expect when I agreed to direct the camp this past summer, and in fact, I was even a little hesitant on going.  However, after having been there and experiencing baseball as I have never experienced it before, I have already asked Sam to lock me in for next summer.”-----Tracy Smith, Head Baseball Coach, Indiana University

My Review on Amazon of Jaime Cevallos' Book POSITIONAL HITTING

With POSITIONAL HITTING, Jaime has written a comprehensive book on the most effective and efficient swing for hitting a baseball. In this well written hitting instructional, you'll get an understanding of the body's natural coordination and movement during the positional slot swing. His book is presented in an easy to read format even when covering kinetic linking, angular measurements, balance, bat dynamics, and mechanical efficiency. I can easily say that his book is the best book on hitting that I've ever read, and I've read them all. If you are serious about becoming the best hitter that you can be on any level, this book is a MUST.
For better hitting,
Del Pittman

REALITY HITTING

Hitting is an act of controlled aggression. To be a good hitter that can consistently drive a pitch, you must put yourself into the role of being the aggressor in a confrontation with the pitcher.

MONSTER HITTER

We teach a form of recycling made famous by Tim Galwey years ago. Our hitters develop a personalized hitting mantra with our assistance as part of a hitting routine. Once the hitting routine is in their subconscious, the hitter recycles their HM (hitting mantra) before each pitch. Recycling the HM in the hitting routine recharges the aggressive hitting attitude for driving your pitch.
