Major League Hitting Coach Visits Division Avenue High School

Major League Texas Rangers hitting coach Anthony Iapoce recently spent time with Division Avenue High School players on the baseball team. Head coach Tom Tuttle and his staff for the annual winter clinic, hosted by Levittown West Little League, invited Iapoce.

Iapoce discussed the mental approach to hitting, as well as his experience working with professional players. The student-players then practiced various drills including hitting, fielding and pitching.

Coach Tuttle noted that Iapoce’s visit had a major impact on the players, who gained insight into the mental aspect of hitting and key points on how to reach their potential as players.

“It’s not often you can get a Major League hitting coach to visit a clinic during his off season,” he said. “The Blue Dragon family, along with Levittown West Little League, can’t thank him enough for the great experience it gave our players.”
