Sparky Parker

Sparky has been coaching baseball and fastpitch on the Eastside since 1988 and has experienced  high levels of success.  In 1993, Sparky coached a Kirkland U-18 girls fastpitch team to a World Series Championship and followed up with a fourth place finish in 1999 and a 2nd place finish in 2001.  He has continued to produce quality teams and players year after year. 

Coach Parker  prides himself  on "always learning" and is a true  student of the game.  Coach Parker  holds a Masters in Education and thoroughly understands the essence of hitting and the art of teaching.

I have been coaching for 22 years and have attended 100's of seminars on hitting over the years.  Out of every clinic and seminar that I have been to, no one has ever once said "would you like to know how Edgar Swings, how about Barry, Arod or Jr".  It wasn't until I came across Mike Epstein that I truly learned what hitting really  was all about.   Life is all about choices and when it comes to hitting there are  choices, rotational and linear.  You have a choice , look  into it , educate yourself and then ...make  a choice.

It always amazes me when I hear  instructors claiming to  teach a combination  of  the two.  If  an instructor really understands the difference between the two  styles they will know that the properties that make-up the rotational  swing are polar opposites of a linear swing  on every  aspect.  In fact ,the only  similarity that the two styles may  share would be the stride to toe-touch, after that , you are either linear or rotational.  

Here at ParkerTraining we are dedicated to the teaching and training of rotational hitting mechanics 100%, and  believe  in every  ounce of the style .
