In this episode, I sit down with Cam Johnson, the Hitting Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Valparaiso University. Cam shares his insights on developing hitters, understanding the biomechanics of a swing, and tailoring coaching methods to individual players. We also dive into the recruiting process, strategies for building a successful roster, and advice for players navigating the modern college baseball landscape. Whether you’re a coach, player, or parent, this conversation has actionable tips to elevate your game.
