Bill Ripken and Cal Ripken, Jr. have developed a method of baseball instruction based on their combined 33 years of major league experience and the teachings of their father, Cal Ripken, Sr. The Ripken Way is based on the following principles: Keep It Simple, Make It Fun, Explain Why and Celebrate The Individual. This unique series of instructional programs explores how to play baseball the “Ripken Way.” Actual footage of professional baseball players is used to illustrate each lesson. Understanding and applying the “Ripken Way” can help youth baseball players at any age improve all aspects of their game.
