Reminder to players heading into the season. Stay the course!
- Another reminder to players this season. Easy to get sucked in to negative talk when things get hard or we’re struggling. We chose a game where failure is always at the forefront.
- As a hitting coach, when the pitch does this at 94 you just say “nope” lol. @PitchingNinja @bigdonkey47
00:00 - Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn Fail, learn
- 1/1 I truly believe that the difference between average and good hitters is strike zone discipline. We can talk all we want about path and angles, but if you don’t swing at strikes and take balls, you cannot excel at a high level. I have tried strobe goggles, vision boards..
- Paying attention in baseball is a skill. It’s not easy and is undervalued. Those that not only just watch, but pay attention to the game learn, adapt and make quicker adjustments. Pay attention!
- One of the most controversial cues out there. I used to be a see it deep guy, but I found over time it forces most guys to push the ball. Having them focus on attacking the ⚾️ out in front can actually clean up posture on all pitches & put them in a better position to do damage.
- There are no quick fixes in this game! No one hitting guru or specific swing pattern is the answer for all. This is a process of finding whatever works for the individual! @LattaDoug helped him unlock that, but how many tried before!? It still takes work...
- This is a 70/30 wrapped drill. 70% of the weight starts on the front side simulating being out in front, but proving you can still turn behind it and give yourself a chance rather than break your swing down. “Wrap” means at your firing position (slot) when front foot is down.
00:00 - Stop chasing bat speed & launch angle. Chase your most efficient timing, movement & swing pattern.
