Baseball & Softball, Batting and Pitching Classes begin NOV 15 & 16! | Kids Out and About Seattle

Baseball & Softball, Batting and Pitching Classes begin NOV 15 & 16!

Both the Batting and Pitching programs use a step-by-step, building block approach focused on review, repetition, and muscle memory—skills learned by Doing. In batting, players develop body control and learn to use their bodies in proper sequence to maximize power, bat speed, and accuracy. In pitching, players build solid, consistent mechanics to enhance velocity and precision while reducing arm stress. Each session includes easy-to-follow drills, short home workouts, and notes to reinforce learning. Participants practice key pitches—the 4-Seam Fastball, Change-up, and 2-Seam Fastball—and receive a comprehensive guide with videos, photos, and key points to continue development after the program.

DESCRIPTIONS of CLASSES

Batting - The Swing

Teaches the entire batting swing using a step-by-step, building block approach.  Review and repetition are core components.  We are training muscle memory, which is learned by Doing.  Consuming information, cognitively, is not how physical skills are acquired.

Players learn body control and how to fully utilize the body, in proper sequence, to maximize power, bat speed and produce a consistently accurate swing.

At the end of the program each participant receives a comprehensive guide for continuing their development. The guide includes all content taught in the class.  Video, pictures, and key focus points are included to support training activities.      

Coach & Parent Reviews - Batting

Mark, My boys (9 & 11 yrs) look forward to each hitting class. You have a great sense and awareness for each players’ ability and in helping them understand what is being taught…Both boys have advanced greatly while working with you. They hit with so much more confidence.  -Coach Mark O., West Seattle

Mark worked with our 12 year-old All-Stars…a simple approach to all aspects of the game… The kids were applying what was being shown right away and their hitting improved from day one.  – Mark M., Past Pres. North Seattle Baseball 

Coach Mark, I grew up playing different sports and my kids are now involved with many sports …never have I experienced something so technical explained and broken down so clearly like this. Thank you for the follow up info…this is very helpful for us.  Gio and I are looking fwd to the next hitting classes.  -Jerry (Gio's father)

Pitching - The Delivery

Teaches the delivery using a step-by-step, building block approach.  Review and repetition are core components of the program.  We are training muscle memory, which is learned by Doing.  Players develop body control and learn how to fully utilize the body, in proper sequence, to maximize velocity and accuracy.  Drills develop solid and consistent pitching mechanics, minimizing the chances of arm stress, soreness, or injury. 

Instruction is easy for the player to digest and translate to success on the field.   Program notes are provided prior to, and following, each workout. Players receive a drill plan for working out at home between each session. This aspect of the program ensures the kids maximize their learning. The home workouts are short in duration and designed with the attention span of a kid in mind. ...no equipment is needed.

Participants learn the 4-Seam Fastball, Change-up, and 2-Seam Fastball, including grip variations for each.

At the end of the program each participant receives a comprehensive guide for continuing their development. The guide includes all content taught in the class.  Video, pictures, and key focus points are included to support training activities.      

Coach & Parent Reviews - Pitching

Hour for hour that was easily the most instructive time my son has had in his baseball life. You made pitching so simple, but it was all there.  

– Harlan, Coach and former Little League President 

Mark has been able to relate the mechanics of pitching in a way that my son could understand.  - David B, Dad  

The players learned simple fundamentals that really improved their pitching skills …Later, I saw dads showing others what they had learned.

- Keith, Coach and former Little League President
