    Of course that’s your contention. You’re a 1st year hitting coach. You just spent the last 15 years getting taught to get the foot down early and be direct to the baseball. You’re gonna be here regurgitating “squish the bug; don’t drop the shoulder” and sharing Jeff Frye videos.

    My lineups: 1 - High contact, high P/AB 2 - Best hitter 3 - 2nd best H 4 - best contact bat. Idc about pop. Needs to be able to spray. 5 - best power bat. High K guy? Don’t care. 6 - contact bat. Limit K’s. 7 - take hacks 8 - see P 9 - take hacks 1-9 must run on EVERYONE

    Obviously the #HailMary is insane. But the play before was so key. Listen to Romo and watch Caleb Williams. Williams trying to get dudes to come up and cover the quick out. Bears D wasn’t ready. Wild.

    At 13/14u game: (1) Both SS walked to their positions in between inn (2) Kids stopped halfway up 1B line after getting out (3) Coaches and Parents give mechanical instruction on EVERY P (4) 17 runs scored - 3 balls hit to the OF Youth Sport is going in the wrong direction.

    Possibly the greatest athletic achievement ever. 4:33 splits. 13 mph; faster than most people can sprint. Faster than most treadmills even max out at. For 2 hours straight.

    Dude was electric. What could’ve been if we saw a full career.

    When the 6u kid finishes his swing like this - just let him cook.

    “Not sure if it needs to be regulated somehow…” I propose putting a rectangular area in which the hitter can stand in. A confined “box” if you will…
    This is just too close. Batters are standing as far back as possible to counter velocity. Catchers are getting as close as possible to frame pitches. Not sure if it needs to be regulated somehow but this sucks to see.

    I’m always amazed by kids who jump team to team so they can “be on the good team.” What? I’m old now but If I play pick up - whatever team I’m on is the good team... because I’m on it. Be so good - and confident - that YOUR team is ALWAYS the good team. Because you’re on it.

    Education vs School. The other day, my son got sick - we all panicked as I guess new parents do - so I left early. So no “hitting coach” is in the facility. College guy sends me vid of three 13-14 year olds teaching each other PVC movements.
