Hitting is said to be the toughest skill in all of sports. Trying to perfect a swing without the use of video analysis makes it even tougher. The swing happens so fast that the use of slow-motion is essential to understanding what is happening during a player’s swing. This knowledge drives my hitting instruction.
Many times hitters think they are doing something during a swing that turns out to be completely different from what is seen on video. Slow-motion allows a player to evaluate themselves with what video actually shows rather than guessing.
Another great benefit when using video analysis is to show a player’s improvements. This concrete evidence of getting better at hitting can be the encouragement needed to continue at a sport.
One of the factors for kids quitting sports is a lack of improvement. With the use of video, we can show their progression and keep them playing longer.

I have personally known and worked alongside Doug LaMunyon for over 8 years and would recommend him, without hesitation, to teach hitting to players of all ages. His passion for the sport and his ability to help players reach their potential is a true gift. From mechanics to technology and overall approach, Doug is able to provide all aspects of hitting to his players.
Things at The Hut have gotten very busy. With varying schedules and needs, it is hard to build a consistent schedule for offering lessons. So as of November 2022, I am no longer offering private lessons.
If things smooth out, I will consider building a schedule once again. In the meantime, I’m happy to answer questions and share tips to help your players find success on the diamond.
Kind regards,
Doug
