>>> I’ve yet to ever see a coach keep a hitter out of a lineup that mashing because the hitter won’t change his style to the coaches style…

Hi Scott

I have received hundreds of e-mails from players and parents that would strongly disagree with you. Some complained that even though they had received college scholarships based on their hitting performance, they were told that for them to make the team, they must change their swing mechanics to conform to the coaches teaching.
You state, “You (Jack) are quick to condemn the establishment without knowing whom is doing out the instruction and why its being given...are there bad little league/high school/college coaches out their, YES! Is their only one way to skin a cat, hell no!”

Scott, there are far to many “bad little league/high school/college coaches” who believe their way is the only way to “skin a cat.”
