I T especially dedicate this text to my baseball family: grandfather, Wilbur A. Cooper, 15 years with Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago Cubs; father, Alfred L. DeRenne, 5 years as a minor league player with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization and 10 years as a professional scout; and son, Keoni B. DeRenne, former high school and collegiate All-American and USA National Team member and currently a professional minor league player. A warm MAHALO to book cover designer, Donna Suehiro, University of Hawaii Auxiliary Enterprises. Also, special thanks to Melanie Ried for transcrib- ing and editing the original manuscript. God Bless to you both! Sincere thanks to friend and colleague Tom House for his continuous support. In addition and most important, I thank our Heavenly Father, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for without Christ in my life I could do nothing. Furthermore, I thank my wonderful wife, Eunice, who is the best! God Bless you all! Dedication | v Foreword want you readers to know that even if Coop DeRenne weren’t my friend, I I would consider it an honor to write the foreword for Th e Scientifi c Approach to Hitting. Coop is a baseball man from a baseball family, a sports scientist, a researcher, and most importantly, a coach. His passion for hitting has always come through in the camps, clinics, and consultations he does around the base- ball world. In this book, Coop matches science-based 3-D information with experi- ence-based fi eld instruction. He identifi es problems and provides solutions. Ultimately, he informs and instructs the science and the art of hitting as well as anyone in organized baseball. Th e Scientifi c Approach to Hittingis a must read for parents, coaches, and athletes. It will help every player optimize the development of swing skills with genetic talent. Nice going, Coop! You’ve hit a home run with this one! Yours in baseball, Tom House Foreword | vii Acknowledgments 1. All high school, college and professional players who were our research subjects during the last 25 years 2.

What’s the attraction? Competition—the ballpark is the battle ground where athletes go to war: Reggie vs. Welch; Will Clark vs. Mitch Williams; and of course, the all-time confrontation, “King” Carl Hubbell vs. Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons, and Cronin (5 K’s) in the 1934 All-Star Game. It is this confrontation that brings out the fans. Baseball, though a team game, is essentially a one-on-one confrontation. Th e center stage is the pitcher-hitter contest. Th e pitcher stands on a hill, above the fi eld, looking down from his throne. He is in control. Th ere is no action until he begins. Th e hitter is the servant, waiting and waiting! Th e game revolves around this battle. Both are in no-man’s land—all alone. Th is combat begins in practice, behind the scenes. Th e fans only know the battlefi eld, but the players and coaches realize the importance of complete prepa- ration. With the advent of scientifi c training methods and high-tech equipment, today’s athlete is better prepared than his or her ancestors. In order to compete in today’s amateur and professional arenas and to have the competitive edge, the modern day athlete must be trained from a “holistic” conditioning foundation. Hitters are no diff erent. Th is holistic program for the hitter and hitting coach is the trinity interrelationship of SKILL MECHANICS, VISUAL DYNAMICS and EXERCISE SCIENCE. All three components work in tandem, for the pitcher and hitter as they either deliver the missile-pitch or strike a blow with the bat. Th is interrelationship is the central theme of this hitting text. As the hitter strides to the plate with his bat, he must carry these interrela- tionship prerequisites with him into warfare. All the fans see is the hitter’s walk to the plate, not realizing the amount of the exercise preparation (mechanical- visual-physical) that went into that turn at bat. Introduction | 1 When the hitter steps to the plate, he has three goals in mind: First, to make accurate contact. Second, to arrive at contact on time. Th ird, the hitter tries to accelerate the bat as fast as possible while under bodily control for an increase in exit batted-ball velocity. Notice, coaches, in these hitting goals as the baseball is delivered, the hitter’s visual-tracking skills commence as his body biomechani- cally moves, generating enough energy for the required amounts of strength and speed to swing the ballistic bat accurately. Th ese three components—visual, bio- mechanics, and exercise science—are inseparable and have equal importance. When a hitter achieves success, the three components are in unison, or in sync. During slumps, usually one or more of the components are missing like pieces of the puzzle—the picture is incomplete. All three-puzzle pieces must complement each other for the picture to have its identity. So it is with the hit- ter. If one component is missing, the swing breaks down, or doesn’t function optimally. Th is text will demonstrate how the three components work in unison with practical fi eld applications. In this process, we hope to improve hitting performances and eliminate prolonged slumps. Today, we see the advent of scientifi c research and high-tech equipment infl uencing and enhancing numerous diff erent kinds of sport performances all around the world—at the professional levels, as well as at the amateur levels. Baseball is now jumping on the bandwagon. Our holistic hitting program has its roots grounded in science. Using new and advanced research methods and high-tech equipment as our weaponry base, our hitter will have the leading edge. Th e great hitting minds of the game—Ted Williams, Harry “Th e Hat” Walker, Charley Lau, Walt Hriniak, and many others—gave us their invaluable intuitive thinking. Each one has contributed to the game’s valuable hitting information. We must always be thankful for these hitting gurus who have pioneered our off ensive game. Now it is our turn at bat! We will use pure scientifi c research with high-tech equipment to explain the hitting process. Now SCIENCE digs into the batter’s box! It tells us that the bat is super- sonic—it travels on the average of 1000 inches per second on the big league level. Science gives us data: bat speeds, exit batted-ball velocities, head move- ment, center of gravity measurements, body segment measurements, rotational information, and swing mechanical consistencies of successful hitters. Our scientifi c hardware, consisting of high-speed cameras and the computerized motion analysis system, gives us irrefutable data.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Documentary Shows How Father Figures Help Push Thomas to Hall Of
    Frank Thomas enjoyed a rapid rise from distinction in youth baseball (left) in Columbus, Ga. to enjoying a champagne bath (right) celebrating the Sox's 1993 American League West title. He would have even more accomplishments ahead on his way to the Hall of Fame. Photos credit Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Documentary shows how father figures help push Thomas to Hall of Fame By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, July 14th, 2014 If there’s one theme that jumps out of “Welcome to Cooperstown: Frank Thomas,” it’s how father-figures, doubling as coaches, helped push along the Big Hurt’s career to its eventual destination at the Hall of Fame’s induction ceremonies July 27. The leadoff man was Thomas’ father, Frank Thomas, Sr., who cannily advised his son to take advantage of a football ride to Auburn as a means to an end. Hand in hand with the senior Thomas was Columbus (Ga.) High School coach Bobby Howard, who made Thomas earn his spot as his go-to player. Foremost was Sox hitting coach Walt Hriniak, under whom Thomas thrived in the unparalleled start of his career in the first half of the 1990s. Historically, there’s a correlation between the daily counsel of this troika and Thomas’ emergence and focus as the best right-handed hitter of his generation. After Hriniak was fired in the Sox near-panicky post-strike housecleaning of 1995, something was lost with the Big Hurt. He continued to have monster years and actually was robbed of at least one American League Most Valuable Player award, in 2000.
