44 Baseball Mistakes and Corrections

Gr 6 Up—This concise tutorial illustrates both the correct and the incorrect manner in which errors in baseball skills can be identified and remedied. These mistakes occur in a variety of common situations: hitting, fielding, pitching, running, selecting equipment, and coaching young players. Players incorrectly demonstrate the particular skill and then show the proper method of executing that specific proficiency. Each of the 44 mistakes is individually accessible, making this film particularly useful for coaches, athletes, and parents interested in helping their young athletes. While this film is general in terms of topics covered, Marty Schupak has several other programs available which go into more detail on these topics. While the young athletes featured all appear to be Caucasian, this should in no way limit the use of this well-produced program.—Dwain Thomas, formerly Lake Park High School, Roselle, IL
