This website is dedicated to providing players, parents, and coaches the latest and most accurate
information in order to develop and optimize their hitting potential and/or teaching skills. Today's best and
most productive Major League Baseball players, top college players(baseball AND softball), and 95% of all
of Baseball's Hall of Fame Hitters were rotational hitters. Learning or teaching rotational mechanics with
the Mike Epstein system is clearly the best thing you can do for your players(both sons & daughters)!

Rotational Mechanics apply to Baseball and Softball hitters of all ages from
t-ball to select travels teams to college and professional baseball. The
Epstein Teaching System is based on the playing experience of nine year
Major League Slugger Mike Epstein and his relationship with his friend and
mentor, the game's greatest hitter, Ted Williams.

Linear mechanics severely limit a player's future in the game and the best
players at the highest levels of the game DON'T use them.
players at the highest levels of the game DON'T use them.
Don't dip your back shoulder(maybe the single worst piece of hitting advice ever!), swing down at the ball
for backspin, hit the top half or third of the ball, throw your hands at the ball, keep the barrel above your
hands or above the ball, keep your front elbow down.... Do the players below look like they are doing all or
even one of those things? Then don't you have to ask yourself... Why I am teaching those things to my
players? Why am I being taught those things? Why am I allowing my son/daughter to be taught those
things if the best players don't do them??? Why not learn to swing as the best players do?

| More players never reach their potential because of a lack of quality instruction rather than a lack of ability." Rod Dedeaux Legendary University of Southern California Baseball Coach NCAA Division I "Coach of the Century" |
Many coaches/instructors(including many ex-professional players) don't teach rotational mechanics even
though that is how they hit during their playing career. Usually it's because linear hitting is what they
remember that they were taught when they were young. That's no excuse not to teach young players the
most productive way to hit. Playing is one thing, but teaching is totally different. Coach Rod Dedeaux
knew this to be true.
