I brought my first year Mustang team to Hawaii Baseball Academy, as we had 4 players new to baseball and many were in their first year of the Mustang division. A good number of players were short arming their throws and didn't have the basics down. Hawaii Baseball Academy/Cory Ishigo set up a clinic for the kids, with four skills stations including stretching (throwing, catching for catchers, pitching and batting). From the start, I could see the kids developing better throwing motions and technique. I noticed many of the new players started throwing with much better velocity after the stretching and throwing drills. The kids really enjoyed the experience of the clinic (held at the Kailua High School baseball field) going from skill station to skill station, as well as training at a high school facility. The coaches were great, they were very supportive and positive. The stretching and throwing drills took the longest (2 hour clinic) which cut into the batting drills. We were running out of time so the batting drills were a bit rushed (hence the 4 star rating, otherwise 5 star for everything else), but I was very happy with the clinic overall. I also had my two boys take Cory's pitching clinic the week before and both threw with much better velocity and technique after the clinic. I highly recommend HBA/Cory to any parent that wants their child to receive proper and professional baseball instruction. read more
