In the world of amateur baseball nowadays it’s very hard to predict who will make it to the big leagues and who won’t. Velocity and hitting home runs along with better training and physical conditioning programs have made it unpredictable. Arsenal USA founder Joe Barth has had close to 300 MLB players over the years between his Hit Doctor, Brooklawn Legion, and Gloucester Catholic stars yet he has seldom predicted MLB status for many of his students because he knows how difficult it is to make it to the big leagues.

“Most coaches can tell you what you’re doing wrong. Joe gets to the root of the problem. He tells you what you’re doing wrong and how to fix it!”
Rudy Jaramillo

Former MLB Hitting Coach

“Mikes experience with the Arsenal was tremendous. It was during these formative years that he developed his remarkable plate discipline and improved on the finer points of his game.  Under Joe Barth’s leadership and coaches he learned how to work at the game in a professional manner .”
Jeff Trout

Mike Trout's Father

“Joe Barth is one of the most knowledgeable, hardest-working baseball instructors in the country!I’ve been in professional baseball for 21 years… 9 as a player, 12 as a minor league coach and scout, and Joe is as good, if not better than any hitting coach in professional baseball today. In working numerous camps with Joe, I found that he has developed programs that are fun, informative, and individualized to each player. If you want to have fun, and learn the proper way to play baseball at the same time, Joe Barth’s Hit Doctor® Baseball Camps are the way to do it!”

Baseball Pearls

55%of all At Bats end up with 2 strikes on the hitter. If you don’t have a quality 2-strike approach you will never be a great hitter

 

If you can’t hit certain pitches (high fastballs or outside curves, etc) don’t swing at ‘em until you have 2 strikes. Learn to foul off nasty pitches when you have 2 strikes.

 

Outfielders should run like a sprinter without a glove. Pump the arms, run full speed and don’t put the glove up until you are about to catch the ball.

 

70% of infield fielding errors go under the glove. Put the glove all the ground and field from the ground up and eliminate 70% of fielding errors.

 

Timing is Rhythm, Rhythm is timing. All great hitters have great timing. Activate your barrel, activate your butt! Get them in rhythm with each other than try to get yourself in rhythm with the pitcher, Time up on him while you’re in the on-deck circle.
Hitters eyes don’t work like a video camera taking one movie thru the entire flight of the ball. The eyes work like a land camera taking picture, picture, etc. through the flight of the ball. If a hitter doesn’t pick it up at release his eyes won’t really see the ball for awhile.
I have had hundreds of MLB players & tons of great hitters & pitchers in my 50+ years of coaching. The thing is every single one of these great players was an original. No two players looked exactly the same. Never let a coach take away your originality.
I miss the old days when we played in the sandlot with older kids running the game & the lil guys playing outfield until they grew up & moved into the infield. Every neighborhood kid played & learned every position. No umps, no parents & we were better coached!
Did you know hitters can’t hit what they can’t see?  MLB players have above average visual skills.  Get yours eyes checked annually. 20/15 adjusted if possible.
