AboutWillie Ansley Jr. Expertise I can answer all questions on baseball instruction from hitting to baserunning,pitching and defense.I can also deal with the mental side of the game. After all baseball is 90% mental.
Experience I was the Houston Astros #1 pick in 1988.I have been doing private instruction and coaching select baseball in the Houston,Tx. area since 1996.
Past/Present clients I have worked with such players as Carl Crawford(while at Jeff Davis High)first pick in second round of the 2000 MLB draft.Also Vince Blue(Lamarr High) a 10th round selection.John Hale(Lamarr High) committed to Rice Univ.Eric Iland(Lamarr High) a top prospect in the 2007 MLB draft.
Question I have a son who will be 12 for the 2010 little league season. This past season he was clocked at 65 mph as an 11 year old. Is this normal for an 11 year old or should I look for a pitching coach to help with his progression on the pitchers mound?
Answer I think that you should not get caught up on the number on the rader gun.Many kids in america throw that hard at that age but it doesnt mean a whole lot. If you want him to learn better mechanics then get him some instruction but dont do it because the number on the gun said 65.
