Interview: Samuel Skinner, High School Varsity Baseball Coach

About this episode

Byron Copley interviews Coach Samuel Skinner about his experiences and insights as a high school varsity baseball coach.

In this episode of all All About Baseball, I interview Coach Samuel Skinner, Varsity baseball coach at South Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. He offers a unique and universal account of his experience as a coach, mentor, and student of the game. I think anyone who loves the game of baseball will appreciate Coach Skinner’s observations and opinions on a variety of baseball-related topics — from how to set up a hitter to the challenges of moving players to the college level. bcpodcastbaseball@gmail.com Music: “FIeld Grass,” by Sergei Pavkin
