The best pitching coaches in so cal

[HAMMER]

Does anyone remember a pitcher from Ca. that went to A&M in the late 80's named SHAWN ANDAYA ?

My DD takes lessons from April Valdez and by far in all my years in Softball she is the BEST! She is at Prime Time in Corona

Mike Smith is overrated. Richard MacArthur is the best out there.

Richard is a great coach but Mike Smith overrated not a chance. The guy teaches the best change up in the business. He has a couple hundred students and has sent a lot of pitchers
D-1. Beside that he played the game in the circle for a long long time. overrated NO, little crazy yes

My daughter recruited one of Mike's pitchers and she did well. Yes her change up was excellent. The male pitching coaches I know who pitched in the circle are Don Sarno, Mike Smith, Bob Todd, Stan Hunt there may be more but these are one's I know of and they all are very good teachers, but I still rank Don as the #1.

I noticed someone mentioned Bob Todd, one of the greatest mens fast pitchers in his time and a great pitching coach as well....he has helped many girls get recruited. Bobby and Don good friends and great teachers.

he knows what he is talking about and can actullay throw a pitch, cause he has played mens fastpitch softball, unlike most pitching coaches!

Sorry...am I the only one here that thinks "mens fastpitch" is just ....well, not manly?

I guess if your gay. Step in the box against Mike Smith, Don Sarno or Bobby Todd in their primes(I've faced all 3) and see how manly you are when they send some "chin music" up near your dome.

You are right about the level of elite pitchers in the men's fast pitch when I pitched. Don and Bob were the best. Do not know about Mike, but Stan was not a hard thrower but man he could make the ball move. I threw pretty hard but some men made me look slow. I do not know the level of elite men game right now but when I pitched you had to bring it and if you did not you got your butt handed you quick. So being a gay sport (NOT!!)
