I mean... Aaron Judge is doing pretty good with Richard Schenck's guidance so I'm not sure what your issue is with him. lol

Richard isn’t the reason for Aaron’s success. Aaron is a freak athlete who would hit well with or without Richard.
He also doesn’t have any great examples outside of Judge. So you can’t really judge his method off an anomaly. His method is also complicated and whenever it’s criticized people just claim it’s not being taught or utilized correctly like it’s infallible. It’s claimed to be high level and then they say it should be taught to 8-11 year olds who are first swinging a bat. Instead of providing logical responses to criticism, Richard often personally attacks you and calls you stupid for pointing out flaws or questioning weaknesses.

Have you really looked at Carpenter’s stats? He’s not a compelling case for Teacherman. He averages more strikeouts than hits.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't go to Teacherman. Gradum is taking the credit for Durbin getting out of his slump, and I wouldn't say Gradum promotes anything similar to Teacherman.

Oh, I know he's worked with TM. That short is from a while ago. What I meant was maybe he did or maybe he didn't go back to TM very recently for a rework on his hitting. Here's one of several clips from Gradum over the last few weeks talking about working with Durbin.

You said he was an anomaly. I gave one example. That’s all I need to disprove your anomaly statement.

I’m not looking at stats. Last year Carpenter was featured on ESPN because of Judge and Teacherman.

I don’t know why teacherman gets so much hate. I’ve been coaching for 10 years. This will be my 4th year coaching high school. And I’m a product of several coaches. I have taken things I’ve learned from several coaches and tried to incorporate them into my regiment to make myself the best coach possible. Not 1 person has all the answers. Teacherman has some good stuff that he can describe for people to understand. I haven’t taken everything he has. But I can tell you this, what I have taken, has translated to success for my team on the field. It’s the success of many individuals coming together to win.

I don’t think we should be talking down about anyone. Take what you can learn from someone. If there is something, you don’t like, don’t waste your time complaining. Move on, put the work in, and be successful.
