One of the top pitching coaches in baseball

When this series was produced, Fred Corral was with the Volunteers and had helped establish Tennessee pitchers as one of the top staffs in the pitching-rich Southeastern Conference. In 2006, Coach Corral begins his second year as the pitching coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. During his first year on the staff, Corral guided three Sooner hurlers into the 2005 MLB Amateur Draft and helped OU make its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Corral’s total number of drafted players has risen to 31 in his 13-year coaching career. In 2007 he returned to the Volunteers after this series was in production.

Corral is respected as one of the top young pitching coaches in the game. WebBall likes his focus on details, his understanding of the new methods taught by the gurus, and his ability to keep his instruction clear and specific. While the individual videos are good, we believe his approach is best when you have all 3 to work with - so we've bundled them at a special price.

Balanced Approach to Pitching Mechanics
First of the 3 videos. Fred Corral breaks down the mechanical sequence of pitching into five areas of focus referred to as balance phases. Each phase is identified, discussed, and illustrated. Among the topics covered in the video: starting position, rocker step and pivot, lift,  separation and timing, drive to plate, stride foot plant, backside energy, arm action, and the stretch delivery. He uses insights from the latest pitching gurus as well as techniques that have worked for his players. (2008) Running time: 44 minutes.

(2008) Running time: 64 minutes.
