Hitting and Hitters Discussion Best of the Best HITTING INSTRUCTORS in OHIO

[default]

OK... in an attempt to collect what will hopefully be a list of QUALITY/ CERTIFIED HITTING instructers that have actually had students go on to college levels due to their instruction.

We all know of the OBVIOUS choices (Howard Carrier , Bill Lilley, Crystl Bustos)

However, I HAVE TO BELIEVE there are some other EXTREMELY talented and creditable HITTING INSTRUCTERS in the state of OHIO that need to be listed here, so Orgs, Families, and DDs can fully understand what their options are for training.

PLEASE LIST YOUR CERTIFIED HITTING INSTUCTERS IN THIS THREAD SO WE CAN BUILD A RESOURCE LIBRARY BY REGION THAT WILL HELP ORGS/FAMILIES UNDERSTAND WHAT OPTIONS THEY HAVE.

Example Post:
- Bill Lilley - Canton Ohio Contact information = XXX-XXX-XXXX
(reason this resource is viewed as a credible instructer)

I will also like to do the same via seperate thread for Pitching, Defense, Catching, and Outfielding.....
