Regarded by many pro and college coaches as one of the finest hitting instructors in America today. Joe Barth has worked with hundreds of thousands of hitters throughout the United States. 
In addition to holding one of the winningest records in HS, Legion and Travel Baseball, Barth has spoken at numerous coaches clinics and accumulated drills from all over the world. This well-rounded expertise gives Barth the ability to diagnose and prescribe corrective measures for each individual player. It has also allowed the “Hit Doctor” to send over 50,000 players onto college baseball as well as over 200 players to MLB,  including Angels great Mike Trout.
If you needed a risky heart operation, you certainly wouldn’t feel confident if your surgeon was scrubbing in for the first time. When it comes to hitting, you want the experience Joe Barth has gained working with many of the top hitters in the game.  He can make your players the best they can be.   As legendary MLB Hitting Coach Rudy Jaramillo says about Joe,  “A lot of people can tell you what’s wrong…but the Hit Doctor can tell you how to fix it!”
Coach What You Know

Coach What You Know

As a baseball player and coach for the past 70 years I have to shake my head when I hear about all the new “baseball coaching techniques.” Some great coaches have begun to question themselves after being criticized for not teaching a certain way! Well guess what? I am an old timer and proud of it and the game hasn’t changed at all in the past 70 years except the kids are bigger, stronger, faster and baseball is now a global game! 

Grip Strength

Prioritize Grip Strength

To ignore grip strength or buy into the premise that great hitters don’t use their hands in hitting is a definite mistake.

Safety Squeeze

The Safety Squeeze

The old suicide squeeze play has seemed to have gone the way of the Edsel, especially in the Launch Angle Age of MLB. Much more in vogue these days, especially in college baseball, is the safety squeeze play. The good news is the safety squeeze play is much less risky, easier to execute, and almost indefensible if executed properly.
