Where do they learn?

[DP3816]

So there is all this talk of the top pitchers in all different locations in the state, etc. But who are the top pitching instructors who are producing these players? How long have they been giving lessons? Year after year do they continue to produce top pitchers?

Who is it according to the heybucket knowalls that produces these amazing pitchers?

It obviously isn't their daddy, but rather their daddy's money who is making them top players.

This was the original question and, as usual on the bucket, a smart comment here and there caused a simple question to turn into a debate as to who is better, male or female at coaching.

Great coaches, regardless of whether they are male or female, produce great results. I am sure DP thinks the female coach of his/her DD is the best for his/her DD. If DP is happy that is fine and that is best for his/her DD...no reason for debate. DP found what he/she was looking for in a coach.

I personally have a male hitting coach (DD does not pitch) for my DD that has done an excellent job. I did not choose him because he was male, but because he has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS and had very positive recommendations from those I trust. If the coach had happened to be female I could care a less...I only wanted a proven history and positive results for my DD. That should be the only factor in choosing a coach, pitching or otherwise.

I would imagine the intent of the OP would be to get names of coaches that have a proven track record of success...not to generate a debate of whether male or female coaches are better.

Your right Mr. Cates. I'll say it again if you're happy with your daughters coach, Fantastic! I just said I prefer a coach who is female and played the game. You know I love this game and I love watching my little ones play. God Bless all of you.

Can anyone identify the female, former players in DFW who are pitching coaches and who have a proven track record of producing DI and DII pitchers. I think that would be helpful to know.

Hmmmmm...let's see....that lady in South....uhmmmm, noooo. Mmmmmm...let me think...Uhhhhh....Hmmmm.....

No

Mark Braddock is a quality pitching coach in the DFW area.

Wow. Gone for a few days and it turns into man vs woman.

It doesn't matter to me who is teaching my dd to pitch as long as 1)They have an understanding of the technique of pitching 2) been there done that before 3) can teach proper mechanics 4) know the phisics behind the pitching 5) has years of experience as an instructor or pitcher 6) are not going to teach improper form to cause injuries.

My dd's instructor has more than 20 years of experience and has produced D1s. (we had no idea in the beginning what a D1 even was) Right now he has a prior Arizona state pitcher working with him as well. Man or woman didn't matter to me when we were looking. Actually, we started with a female coach at our instructors facility and when she began to have kids, etc and stopped teaching, we moved to our current instrcutor (at the same facility who is the owner)

I was just curious to see who these top pichers were going to. Who is behind the girl on the mound helping her develop her game? Mommy and Daddy (unless they are pitchers themselves) don't know the grips of pitches or the technique of the motion unless someone has also given them instruction. If/when my daughter has problems, I am calling or seeing her instructor to help us work through the issues. I certainly can't fix it myself or even teach her. Youtube can only give so much information My goal was to obtain a few of these names and see who the instructors of the Texas D1s are.

I hate being correct all the time!!!

I may have missed it with the direction this discussion took, but did you mention what area you are from? That would assist you in getting names you can utilize.
