Teaching the zone
I firmly believe that you can and should teach it with the same rigor. Two basic points:
1. The key to a good (consistent) zone is a still head- still before (and therefore, long before) the pitcher releases the ball.
2. Go to camp. Have somebody critique your head, your feet, your timing, your eyes and your mechanics. Get yourself on tape and review the tape periodically.
You can't solve the problems of the LLWS blues, but if you belong to an association, you can make plate training a priority.
Strikes and outs!
