More About Coach Cameron
I have trained athletes from little league all the way to the college level. I have been doing lessons specializing in hitting and fielding for 4 years. I have coached former and current all-conference players, along with multiple current college baseball players. Currently in my second season as the hitting and outfield coach for Fulton High School. I am NFHS certified in concussions protocols and the fundamentals of coaching
I have 16 years of baseball experience. Trained in hitting by a former member of the Boston Red Sox, and Arizona Diamondbacks assistant coach. Played on a nationally ranked travel team, the Hoover Blaze (2005-2006), Hoover High School (2006) before transferring to Spain Park High School (2007-2009) Maintained at least a .400 avg in every season of my playing career.
To begin a session for hitting I use an evaluation period to determine the athletes strengths and weaknesses, which include the load and hand positioning. Further progression will vary depend on skill level. I then explain and show the athlete the proper weight transfer from back hip to front leg. Once weight transfer has been learned, I then teach the proper use of the hands in the swing, and the path they must travel to generate the highest amount bat speed and exit velocity. I will then coach contact points for each pitch; inside, middle, and outside. Skills must be mastered by first working from the tee, before progressing to soft toss, short toss, and finally live pitching. Once the athlete has mastered the skills necessary to face live pitching, I will teach the hitter mental approach and pitch recognition of individual pitches based on arm angle and pitching grips.
When coaching fielding, I begin teaching the proper mechanics of the throw to efficiently minimize strain on the arm. I then teach first step on the contact of the ball, and proper footwork, and fundamentals once the play is in progress. To finish I coach how the player will react situationally once a play is in progress such as where to throw the ball, proper use of a cutoff man, and how to handle balls hit to or near the fence.

Cat (CoachUp client)
Cameron did great with chris today and I could tell he knew the sport well! He made things simple to understand and broke it down step by step! The energy was great and he fixed his swing in what seemed like no time! Cannot wait to see him put it to use in his game this weekend!

Ryan Gentry/ former Milligan University catcher (Testimonial)
