DeMarini TOP 96 Specialized Instruction Sessions
At each of our clinics, we offer specialized instructions sessions in areas where our college coaching staff believes that all high school players need significant improvement. We offer some or all of these at each of our clinics. These include:

- Base running – This session will be conducted by a coach provided by our host and will include things like: taking leads, reading pitchers, tagging up and when to run, reading ground balls and when to advance etc.
- Bunting – This session will be conducted by a coach provided by our host and will include things like proper technique for a sacrifice bunt, bunting for a base hit and squeeze bunts plus drills
- Pitchers-Only Sessions (in lieu of Bunting and Base Running):
- Holding Runners – This session will be conducted by a coach provided by our host and will include things like: pick-off moves to first and second, slide step, and reading base stealers leads and techniques for holding runners
- Off-Speed Pitch Mechanics - This session will be conducted by a coach provided by our host and is designed to help pitchers work on the specific mechanics of off-speed pitches they need to improve (i.e., curve, slider, change, and splitter).
These sessions, which take place concurrently with the workout and evaluation sessions, will be taught by professionals in their field (i.e., college coaches, pro scouts, former pro or college players, certified trainers, etc.). No evaluations are done during these sessions.
