with Rod Delmonico Hitting Fundamentals presents a detailed overview of the absolutes of hitting. The fact that all good hitters have at least two things in common (aggressiveness at the plate and the ability to concentrate from pitch-to-pitch) is discussed. The DVD also breaks hitting up into three basic phases; the stance, the stride and the swing. It examines the techniques and mechanics involved in each phase. In addition, a series of proven drills for developing the key aspects of hitting are featured. ABOUT THE COACH: Rod Delmonico was the Head Coach at the University of Tennessee for 18 years.

You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. - Jim Bouton
