Butler University Trip

I’ll be on the road again next week, this time heading to Indianapolis, Indiana to visit my alma mater, Butler University. It’s another alumni weekend, so I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and teammates. It will be nice to see the upgrades to the ballpark, which I missed out on when I visited last February.

As previously mentioned, I travelled to Rochester, NY mostly to work with the Rochester Institute of Technology baseball team. We went over cage drills, hitting approach and swing mechanics. I was able to demonstrate the features of a radar device that measures bat speed, batted ball exit velocity, swing quickness and timing error (will have more on this is the not too distant future…) and discuss off-season training. Coincidentally, RIT was having their alumni game that weekend at Frontier Field (AAA home of the Rochester Red Wings), so I was able to catch up with a lot of familiar faces…..really enjoyed the trip.

We finished up our 2009 season, 138 games, with a win against the St. Lucie Mets. Now that it is officially the “off-season”, I’ll be continuing work on the site and planning various trips and events, which can now be tracked with the Events Calendar on the sidebar.

Contact me if you’re in the area or you have a suggestion for a Swingtraining.net event opportunity. Lots good things on deck this fall and winter…

To get things going, I will be heading to my hometown Rochester, NY this week (Wed.-Sun.) mainly to talk hitting and off-season training with Rochester Institute of Technology baseball, softball and strength & conditioning coaches. Very similar to what I did during my graduate school days at Louisiana Tech.

Also should be doing a follow up to a TV interview that I did with RIT Sportszone, which had previously come to Florida to catch up with myself and another former Tiger, so look for that episode in the near future.
