What is Driveline?

When I coached youth baseball and at the high school level, travel baseball and specialized training weren’t as readily available as is it is today. We had materials and videos written by Tom House, including the “Winning Pitcher”, “Power Baseball”(written with Coop De Renne) and of course Nolan Ryan’s “Pitcher’s Bible”. For hitters, you had Charlie Lau’s “The Art of Hitting .300″ and“A Hitting Clinic: The Walt Hriniak Way”. Of course, anything written by Ted Williams was a must. If you lived in Southern California, as I did, you tried to attend any baseball conference where Wally Kincaid, the legendary coach at Cerritos College(he was to college baseball what John Wooden was to basketball) and John Scolinos, the masterful coach at Cal Poly Pomona, spoke as they were absolute legends in area of coaching and baseball training back in the day.
