- Wins his second Masters in dominating fashion and still doesn’t make it about himself. Waits for his caddie and lets him lead the way. A moment I’m sure he’ll never forget. WE > ME One of the best role models in sports.
00:00 - 7 homers in 7 games Staying back while going forward 🔐
00:00 - “Slow is fast” 🗯️ AL Player of the Month Gunnar Henderson talking about how slowing down his load helped him level up at the plate 📈 The best hitters make it look easy. They are under control from the start 🎥 cred: @Orioles
00:00 - Bobby Witt Jr. talking about following the six F’s of fielding Check out the thread I made on this last year for a step by step breakdown ⬇️

00:03Francisco Lindor has been my favorite infielder to watch since he came up with Cleveland. Here is a breakdown of why I think he is consistently one of the best infielders to watch in the MLB using Perry Hill’s 6 F’s of Fielding in my own words. A 🧵 for infielders: - Pujols sharing his feel of the back elbow turning into the rib cage Can be a useful feel for pushy hitters who don’t get the barrel turned soon enough ↪️ Over 700 home runs of wisdom in this segment. One of the several great things Albert shared on @MLBNetwork
00:00 - If I am a young infielder I am not missing a Puerto Rico game this WBC. Watch how efficient they are with their movements. They play downhill, always on the attack. High energy, quick to congratulate each other, fun to watch. An absolute electric factory if you ask me.

00:00 - 3 HR Day Slow, early, under control… Boom 💥 Give yourself time to do damage
00:00 - I’ve always done this since I was a little kid. Guys used to joke around about how loud I would breathe out when I hit the ball. Interesting to hear A Rod talk about this. 40% power increase sounds kinda crazy though lol
