The Pesci brothers talk baseball with MLB’s first female hitting instructor, Rachel Folden.  Rachel talks about her playing career and how she started her own business, all of which lead to her getting the call to be a hitting instructor for the Chicago Cub’s organization.  She didn’t want to just check a box for them and they wanted to win, not make a point, perfect match!

Coaching Softball HITTERS is The Same as Baseball? with Rachel Folden - 120

If you are a regular viewer, then you know I went to Round Rock, Texas a few weeks back to watch the NPF Chicago Bandits play the USSSA Pride. This week I bring you an interview I did with the Chicago Bandits catcher Rachel Folden. The  Fastpitch TV Show   is sponsored by http://SoftballJunk.com. You can see more episodes at our website http://Fastpitch.TV. http://SoftballJunk.com is a great resource to find the perfect fastpitch softball bat just for you!  Chicago Bandits catcher, Rachel Holden, takes some time to answer a few questions with her experience in the game of fastpitch softball. Rachel played baseball her whole life until the summer before high school and had always thought softball was a stupid sport, but ended up loving the sport and received a full scholarship to play in college. Her college experience was well appreciated and admits that it was tough at times. In High School she was given the opportunity to be a catcher and has yet to leave that position. Rachel grew up watching her brother play, as a catcher, and tried to mimic what he did as well as what she learned when she watched games in her free time. Rachel is from southern California so she felt right at home with the atmosphere we had in Texas and can't wait to come back for other games with her team!
