The Best of Championship
Pitching Clinics DVD Series
This 4-Module DVD Series brings you the best of
Coach Bagonzi's pitching seminars in a format consistent with
his acclaimed pitching clinics. See why over 800 young pitchers
annually attend this program, which has produced players who
have gone on to excel at the little league, high school,
college, and professional levels. Now those who can't attend
his camps in the Northeast or want to revisit segments of his
clinic can have this invaluable resource at their fingertips.
The 6+ hour series includes Best-of-Clinic
footage augmented by photos, slideshows, insets, additional
commentary, and highlight text to stress learning objectives,
critical points & information, and pitching secrets from The
Inner Sanctum (upcoming new book). Each topic is covered
in-depth, with close-up pictures and graphics from clinics and
The Act of Pitching used to ensure concepts are
clearly communicated and understood and link the video to the
text.
As a
baseball coach for 38 years at the high school level, I have
purchased many different dvds on the teaching of baseball to
stay current with the baseball gods. Dr. Bagonzi's dvd
series is hands-down the best for teaching the art of
pitching. Over the years we have been involved in 14
championship games and we owe this success to his in-depth
teaching of the necessary skills. The dvds are of high
quality and mirror his clinics' content while providing
additional commentary, unique insights, close-up pictures
and graphics to be used with any age group. There is no one
better at teaching pitching at any level.

"After watching Coach Bagonzi at work
giving a seminar, I recognized that not only was he a great
technician, but he was an absolutely gifted teacher .... Not
only did Coach hold their attention for an entire morning and
afternoon, but he got them believing that they could become good
pitchers by showing them how and by convincing them that it was
worth the effort."
