Don Slaught - Founder of RightView Pro and former MLB Hitting Coach for the Detroit Tigers 06
Don Slaught is considered to be a passionate student of the game. This has been true from his Little League days, throughout his 16 yrs in the Major Leagues. He attributes his longevity to his commitment to learning and improving. The evidence proves this out. In his first 8 years in the Big Leagues he hit .269 compared to his last eight years where he averaged over .300 and in is final 5 full seasons, he had a .310 average. Don said he didn’t get any stronger or faster but he did get smarter. He said it was the elimination of some poor information and the understanding of some good information on both mechanics and his approach that allowed him to improve late into his thirties. It was this renovation that led him into coaching and the eventual development of RightView Pro. What took him years to understand can now be seen and understood very easily at even the earliest levels of baseball. Since retiring in ’97 Don has spent most of his time coaching at just about every level from little leaguers to Major leaguers. He was most recently the Big League Hitting Coach for the Detroit Tigers in 06. Don is quick to point out that the success of a coach is not based on knowing how to hit but rather on knowing how to get others to hit. They are two different skills. The goal of RVP was to speed up the learning curve by developing a system to allow coaches and players to see, understand, and communicate more effectively. ^Back To Top^
