Kevin Long Teaches Hitting

Last week at the Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Rockaway Mall, NJ, New York Yankees batting coach Kevin Long stopped by to offer hitting tips to a group of youngsters from the Rockaway Township Little League.

Kevin went over the fundamentals of hitting and also demonstrated a few drills with individual players. The event — which took place last Monday, April 21st — ran about an hour and included a Q&A with Kevin as well as an autograph session after the lesson.
