Cover: frank anderson's pitching clinic
Frank Anderson's Pitching Clinic
with Frank Anderson,
Oklahoma State University Head Coach;
former University of Texas Pitching Coach (including College World Series Championship season in 2002)

In Pitching Clinic, Coach Anderson leads you through a pitching progression for pitchers at all levels. Finding the normal arm swing for each pitcher is the initial concern. A favorite drill of Anderson's gives a coach an opportunity to view the pitcher's normal arm swing. He shows how a routine ground ball can help coaches analyze a pitcher's arm slot. Anderson breaks down the wind up, grip (based on the four seam fastball grip), the rocker step and the stride. Other factors are the backside action, eliminate the front side, squared shoulders and releasing the ball through home plate. The follow through is the key to releasing the ball to the plate. A set of progression drills includes: Open up/backside action and figure eight drill. Anderson concludes with a detailed step-by-step review of each element of the throw.

Cover: the lost art of outfield play
The Lost Art of Outfield Play
with Frank Anderson,
Oklahoma State University Head Coach;
former University of Texas Pitching Coach (including College World Series Championship season in 2002)

When players are younger, the less talented players are put in the outfield. Consequently, players do not work on the finer points of outfield play. Coach Anderson begins with glove selection. The main thing is choosing a glove that you can handle and has a "feel." Among other things, a good center field knows how to control other outfielders and has the ability to read and track the ball as it leaves the bat and catch it. Anderson plugs in footage of his players' reaction to the ball in practice. He breaks down his pre-practice routine, which starts with running and stretching, followed by long toss progression and position specific catches. Drills shown help develop the skill of catching a ball in various situations. Anderson leads his players through stance and positioning while demonstrating his progression drills.

Cover: teaching the art of hitting
Teaching the Art of Hitting
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.

Cover: the coach's guide to hitting drills
The Coach's Guide to Hitting Drills
with Brian Cleary,
University of Cincinnati Head Coach

The role of drills in hitting is to address the hitter building his swing as well as the player maintaining his swing. Coach Cleary's goal when practicing hitting is not to hit the ball hard, but practice a swing that will translate to success in a game. Drills provide help in two areas; correcting faulty swings and building and maintaining good swings. Before drill work, Cleary breaks down the batter's set up. He uses a tool called the 'magic wand' that helps him isolate parts of the hitter's body to make corrections. Other tools used during drill work include the stride box, the tire, tees and soft toss. The goal for hitters is to be sound mechanically so their only job is to attack the pitch and the pitcher!
