At 10U, should a left-handed pitcher seek instruction from a left-handed instructor - or does it really matter? |

jsutwin1,
If you want to try a great LH Pitching coach that I can personally vouch for, give Chris a call, if Acworth is not too far for you to drive. (I was not sure what area you live in.)

coach 6,
Chris is who I was referring to, above. He has been my son's pitching instructor for the past 5-1/2 years. I would not trade him for anyone.
Justwin1,
You just have to try things out to see what is best for your son. To be honest, the only times we have had issues is when we got away from him working with Chris.
Love knows Chris, too. He can still bring it, can't he, Love? |

A left handed pitching instructor for a LHP is very beneficial if they can demonstrate proper mechanics and the different LHP pickoff moves. In my opinion if you have a choice of instructors with semi equal knowledge go with the same hand. Teach your LHP the multiple pick off moves now at 10. Will give him a significant advantage as he gets older. |

A player looking for instruction should find an instructor they will learn from and develop. I would never tell a LHP they can't learn from a RH instructor. My LH son, however, has a LH pitching instructor that he feels has taught him things about the approach to pitching that he has not gotten with a RH instructor. His LH instructor, though, does work with RHP's as well.
If I were you, I would be more interested in a great instructor your son meshes with well, than an average one that happens to throw from the same side. |
