>> the pros are tuning up. >> if you have budding baseball star at your house, our pat gotten live in bucks count way special guest whose tips can help your athlete take the next step. hi, pat. >> reporter: hello, guys. yep, we are warming up for the baseball season. and who better to do it with than a guy who works with professional athletes, minor leaguers, major leaguers, across the bushed, kevin wilson. >> good morning, pat. >> you worked with really top notch players, give us your resume, your backgrounds, how did you get into this. >> i was a player myself. went to holy ghost prep locally university cincinnati, played college baseball, then i signed, played professional baseball. when i got done playing baseball i wanted to help and impact the guys that were currently in the games. thaws how we wound up where i am today. >> come -- some of the guys in the game, you like to watch and you like to tell

youngsters to watch guys like mikhail from the tigers, batting champion, one of the best ever, mike trout here from this area, another guy who people know well, and chase utley watch about those guys do you look at and say those are players that we need to watch? >> i think for the most part consistency. they're very consistent in what they do. very consistent squaring up the baseball, swinging at their pitch, little wasted movement in their swaning, not a lot of movement. very simple compact to the ball direct to the ball. again, consistency is the biggest key for me with all three of those guys. >> now what i love the most, not just a hitting coach. i mean, you are -- you're a mental coach just as much as anything, baseball, and so much a mental game. does it gel little tricky dealing with players in both teaching them how to hit that thing and also what's going on inside their head? >> certainly. as coach you have to be necessary recall. you want to be individual in your language, and the way that you speak to them, and the words you use, that kind of stuff. because everybody is a individual.

so for me, every day is a new day. every day is a new canvas that you can paint on. and i think very enjoyable for me. because much like you, every day is just you wind up in a new place. >> yep, i love it, i can use mental coach sometimes as well. >> i think we all can. >> so, if you're teaching someone to sed up -- set up get ready to swing, what's the first thing dow? >> i think we want to talk about today is a lot every guys when they set up specially on the t, first of all, the. it is not only for t ballers. big leaguers use a t every day. that's important to point out. but a lot of guys stand too close to the ball. >> so i'm too close. >> yesment make sure you have some room. so i would back you up just little bit. do you have think becomes you have big bat. bat normally is the lent of your arm. so give yourself some room, to swing, a lot of players stand too close. the second thing is make your, be sure to hit the inside theme, inside part of the baseball. every time you put the ball on the t, give yourselves some room, do your best to hit the

inside. >> let's bring the pro in. how about your son? look at braydon all geared up ready for baseball season. braydon, he was knocking them out of the park just couple every minutes ago, i know he k show us that sweet sing, braydon. look at this thing. boom. >> beautiful. >> one more for us. >> one more. >> to get you ready for baseball season. look at that. >> look at that. boom. >> good job. >> nailed it. >> good job, braydon, good stuff. kevin thank you so much. kevin wilson, ya, guys, i mean, if that doesn't fire you up for baseball season, i don't know what will. >> thank you, patrick. >> that kid is seven years old, and way better for me. one heck of a arm. >> show us how it's done. >> let's get over to katie. of course baseball makes you think spring. today should be mild, but what a week. >> yes, with actually going to be very spring like, in regard to the kinds of wet their we actually end up with. but as we look ahead, i think opening day will actually be pretty decent weather. what's happening, finding temperatures around the 50 degrees mark, just shy of it, or exceeding it, and sort

of stick to a little bit after line here, start off in chesterfield, ed reporting under 15 minutes ago reporting little bit of rain. so, kind of off and on. we had rain, then we saw none. then came down, and enough time find most of the morning, actually sent us a picture of the rain, proo positive, it is actually out there. meanwhile going to another one. i want to take you across the pa state border, into 49 degrees, 47 degrees, comes in from hatboro. kyle reporting that, just a lot of cloud are overhead right now. see if i can make that 49 go. barbara lane reported some fog. i wanted to show her. she is at 48 degrees right now out in willow grove. now as we switch gears, we take you back to storm scan3, show you the rain that's currently moving on in. notice, it is very much pocketed. you've got scattered variety of the showers and thunder storm, but there are thunderstorms out there, too, and some of those could proof feisty throughout the day. now throughout the day, we have a marginal risk, but it

just barely clips sussex county delaware. not technically in it. it may change with time. but for now marginal risk at worse in the southern most delmarva. what's that really mean? well, basically, means not in the severe weather threat but still close enough we have to worry about gusty winds, small size hail, and any of the heavier thunderstorms that bubble up out there. actually already had pea size hail come out of mercer county since early this morning. scattered thunderstorms today. tomorrow we brighten up high pressure. thursday my personal favorite next several days cooler but very nice with low humidity and sunshine. friday march going out like a lion, just the way it came in. new storm comes along, bridges more rain to the area. meisha? >> katie, thank you so much. and good morning to all of you, just waking up with us, what are we looking at right now? disable vehicle on the blue route. near broomall. snow is pulled all the way off to the far right. i would say starting to get little gaper delay around the area as well. putting on your brakes, basically anywhere we are looking in the camera shot, fog out there, certain areas,
