I'm nobody.

And I've helped multiple major league hitters make it to, and succeed at, the major league level.

• Andres Torres
• Tommy Pham
• Mark Trumbo

As Andres said...

I know about training, but hitting was difficult. And then in ’08... There’s a guy called Chris O’Leary (a St. Louis fan who kept online flipbooks breaking down Pujols’ swing). He’s online. He talks about Rotation. He's got video examples of Pujols, and I watched those.

I also helped revitalize the offense of HSSU, working with the hitters in 2016 and 2017.

While it pains me to see that the HSSU hitters have regressed since I left, it proves one thing.

Both the Hitting and Pitching material on my client site is broken up into a number of levels, starting with a FREE overview.

After the 2007 season, Torres remained stuck in AAA, and he knew something had to change. With the help of Chris O'Leary, a private hitting coach, he began looking at all the video he could find on hitters he admired, starting with Albert Pujols. He saw the way they generated power by rotating through the pitch.

I no longer provide physical DVDs.

All of my products, including the streaming DVDs and webbooks, are delivered, and the eBooks can be downloaded, through my client site. If you can watch longer videos on YouTube, then you should have no problem watching my DVDs and reading my webbooks.

To access a product you have purchased, you will have to register for my client site. You will be given access to the products you purchased, and will be notified via e-mail, once your payment has been processed.

Torres' favorite is Pujols. He is in such awe of Pujols' swing that he'll not only watch his at-bats but go online and use Google to find out more. In early 2008 he found some flipbooks breaking down the Cardinals first baseman's swing frame by frame and out of the blue called the website's creator, a St. Louis area suburban dad named Chris O'Leary who has read voraciously about hitting but has no professional background, and said, "Hey, I read your stuff. It really made a lot of sense. Tell me more about Connection."
