[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hitting wise, there is no substitute to live, in-game quality pitchers.

Hitting Coach all you want, but the more you see the better you'll get. The "recognizing spin" is a farce -- the brain just recognizes something slightly familiar, especially if they have seen a lot of high quality in-game pitching.

A hitting Coach can teach approach and mechanics to an extent. But every hitter is physically built differently from length, strength, eye/brain cognition, etc.

A hitting Coach will have the most value analyzing in-game live hitting deficiencies and try to tailor the swing to lower inefficient movements.

Private instruction is great but racking up ABs against high quality pitching is invaluable. The minor leagues exist for a reason.

Except you won’t get decent quality consistent pitching until around 13…but really at 14.

There are far more weak hitters that did little besides get their 6 minutes of BP with their travel coach at their practices vs the kids getting strong private instruction.

The issue is OP is asking about a 10 year old…and the answer is yes you have time before you start travel ball…if you start at 12 you will be fine, especially if you have had hours of personal training at 10 and 11.
