"Hey I'm Mike and I'm going to tell you how to teach baseball today. When you're going to teach baseball you need to teach the fundamentals. The fundamentals start with the swing, fielding, pitching, and catching. When you're teaching the swing you need to keep your mechanics in order. You need to keep a level swing at all times, keep your bat shoulder high and swing level at the ball. Also, you must wait on the ball to get to the batter. You also need to field the ball doing things such as ground balls, short hop drills, and freehand drills will increase hand-eye coordination to make your player a better fielder. Catching is just a matter of practice and repetition. Practice and repetition comes through baseball practice and games and experience as a child or player gets older.
