I teach hitting and pitching, to baseball and softball players ranging in age from Kindergarten through the Major League level, among other things. I have done some consulting on pitching mechanics for a ML team (not the Cardinals) and my work on hitting and pitching is followed by scouts and other player development folks at a number of teams.
