The Coach's Corner
For Free Information, e-mail me any questions you might have about pitching, hitting, practice oraganization, catching drills, baserunning, outfield-play, strategy, or baseball development. Your e-mail will be forwarded right away, and returned within the next business day.
 See Your Question Answered Here Online! - updated 2-7-05
" Coach, how do I increase velocity when pitching?" - First look at your mechanics. You want to make sure when you pick up your balance leg (right handed), it will be your left leg, that when it starts to move downwards, that your hands break apart, and your wieght stays back. When that front foot hits the ground your closed off with your front side(front shoulder, front hip) and that your throwing arm is up and elbow is above your throwing shoulder and the ball is facing away. The correct mechanics can lead to an increase. It might be small, but it help. E-mail me back, and I will send you throwing drills.
"Coach, I'm curious, how can I practice at home, without anyone to workout with?"
- That's a great question. Here's a couple of thoughts. First, if you can invest in a hitting tee, get some wiffle balls and you can hit in the backyard. Another thought as to working on your swing, is to get a mirror, or you can see yourself in you back window and watch your self work on your mechanics, your swing, your pitching mechanics, footsteps on fielding a ground ball, etc. And last, get a tennis ball and throw it against a wall and practice your fielding. Be creative, swing as much as you can, and practice throwing at a target, and at least your getting work in, when you don't have the luxary of a batting cage or practice facility."

Testimonials
Playing and coaching professionally for eighteen years and
coaching at the college level for the past seven years, I have been around
a lot of baseball people. I can honestly say that Coach Cornblum is one
of the most knowledgeable, enthusiatic, and unselfish people involved
in the game that we all love. Having Eddie as my assistant at Temple
College for two years I saw firsthand his knowledge of the game. Working
with him giving private instruction, and following his coaching career I
saw his enthusiasm for the game and his unselfishness towards the
players. His Fundamental Approach To Hitting Video is very informative,
useful, and easy to understand. The drills he uses to reinforce his
hitting approach can be implemented by the beginner all the way to the high
school and college players alike. If you want to be a successful
baseball player, learn to do the basics. If you want to do the basics
correctly, use the instruction Coach Cornblum gives in his Fundamental
Approach To Hitting Video Series. - Craig McMurtry, Head Coach Temple College

Coach Cornblum---we appreciate you!!!
Charlie & Kathy Kimmey
"Mark has been taking private hitting lessons from Eddie on and off for a year. Eddie was able to immediately see the problems in his stance and swing and provide corrective measures to improve his hitting. After only one lesson, Mark went from hitting infield base hits to hitting more powerful outfield hits. The continued lessons provided Mark with additional hitting coaching that has allowed him to become a consistent power hitter on his league teams.
Mark has also attended the Christmas and Spring Break Belton Tigers baseball camps. They provide a great opportunity for young children to either learn the basics or improve their current skills. The camp allows children to gain instruction with hitting, catching, fielding and provides opportunity for game play. The Belton coaches and players work with each child, no matter what their level of experience or talent. The camps are also a great opportunity to get kids outside, active, and interactive during break time from school."
--Jon and Annie Herrington
P.S Jon or I will contact you soon to see when you have availability for lessons for Mark starting in February.
"Great to hear about your plans to expand. My son (Riley) has only attended 1 of your camps, but I was impressed by the energy that each of the instructors put forth, and the interest they took in all of the kids regardless of their age or current skill level. It is refreshing to see that there are still instructors like you that truly take a personal interest in the kids and helping them improve their baseball skills. Your love for the game truly shines forth, and my son had a blast at your camp and is looking forward to the next one."
Thanks again.
David Wesson
"My 9 year old son takes baseball lessons from Coach Eddie Cornblum. He comes away from the instruction with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the correct hitting and throwing fundamentals. In short, Eddie is one of those rare coaches that not only motivates but is also a great "teacher". He has an innate ability to communicate with his students to a level that fundamental understanding occurs. My son looks forward to his next weekly lesson which speaks volumes to the positive learning environment Coach Cornblum creates."

Our first experience with Coach Cornblum was several years ago at a
Wildcat Baseball camp Normal
Our first experience with Coach Cornblum was several years ago at a
Wildcat Baseball camp. I really liked the way he graded players showing
their strengths and weaknesses. We have been going to Eddie for private
lessons for several seasons now and he does a great job of not only in
instructions but also teaching the game. He really takes an interest in
his players, and the players and parents appreciate that.
Thanks for everything..

"I am extremely pleased with Coach Cornblum's efforts and methods. My
son, Jared, has been taking lessons for a couple of years now and his
development has really progressed well. Eddie has done a fantastic job of teaching the fundamentals to Jared which, in turn, has allowed Jared to become more
consistent with his swing and it has increased his confidence at the
plate. In my opinion, Coach Cornblum exemplifies what is great about this
game. His extensive coaching experience and more importantly his
understanding of the fundamentals and how to convey that to the players is unparalleled. He sincerely wants the best for every player that he instructs. In my
opinion, there is no better option in this area for personalized instruction than
Coach Cornblum and The Dugout Baseball Academy!" ~ Michael Janczak
