Coach Leffew is the best, JMHO. He works with the Ashland Softball Team, pitching Coach.
He always tweaks and corrects.... leads and inspires. Can't beat him. He is 30 miles outside Akron in the Lagrange area. Just off RT 18 , west of Litchfield. (Rural Ohio)
Great Guy and Wonderful Coach!!!

Topics like this are difficult because everyone wants to believe their coach is "the best". It's kind of like the Seinfeld joke about how everyone thinks they have the best doctor. The point is, giving props to one coach is not necessarily putting another down. So, keep that in mind.
That said, I have to agree with SBFamily... Hillhouse is your man. I think he is the most sought after clinician/coach in the world for pitching and is still an international pitcher himself. IMHO, what made a difference for my DD was seeing Bill be able to demonstrate things. We went to a lot of male coaches who said "do this" but, since they never pitched and can't do it themselves... it shot holes in credibility and didn't help my DD visualize and see what needed to be done. What a difference.
FYI... Hillhouse does lessons in Akron now too... I think.
