Welcome Coaches
• My goal is to create a program where players:1. Have fun2. Compete3. Learn the game of baseball, and other life
lessons that come from the game4. Put Chanhassen baseball back on the map!
Vision
• Family first• Academics• Baseball– There are many ways to play this game!
Aggressive, Aggressive, Aggressive!
Philosophy
– Look to make the players better every time you take the field
– Don’t put too much stress on winning at the younger levels
– Try to have players play as many positions as possible (don’t pigeonhole a player)
– Have players hustle everywhere, all the time, it’s the Storm Way!
– Make baseball fun with competitive drills
Philosophy continued
• Teaching tips (everyone hits differently!)– Stance• Be on balls of your feet (hit on 2x4)• Balanced
– Load• Get to a position to swing
– Stride (optional)– Swing – “Explode!”• Down angle
Hitting
Don’t get caught up in all the gimmicks!
Don’t be afraid to SWING THE BAT!
Make the kids learn their pitch!
• Tips to teach:– Athletic stance “ready position”– Be on your toes (balls of your feet)– Glove up and open– Righty-• Right - left - field, right – left (step in front) – throw
– Lefty • Left – right- field, left – right (step in front) - throw
Fielding
• Fastball and change-up!• Don’t become a one pitch pitcher!
• Work on becoming a fielder after pitching• PFPs- pitcher fielding practice
• CJ can add more to this!
Pitching
• Teaching Tips:– Be aggressive!– Put the pressure on the defense!– We go hard ALL THE TIME (Storm Way!)
Base running
• Base running (this would be conditioning so work hard!!)– Single – sprint through 1st base, breakdown and look over
right shoulder – looking for pass balls – Single w/round- round like you are going for second! Put
the pressure on the OF!– Double – working on rounding first base with a good turn –
hit CORNER of base!– Triple – focus on your rounds, inside corners of base/ work
on tagging up!– Leads off first – work on your jump/ work on tagging up!– Leads off second –work on your jump/ work on tagging up!
• Leads off third- be in FOUL territory!
Base running
Bunt Defense

Bunt OffenseRunner on 1st – Bunt to 1st
