Grateful for every second I got to spend with @HipHipJose5. You are the standard Trevy. Thank you for giving me a front row seat. I’m better for it. The @Reds are welcoming a winner! #OneOfOne

- The acoustics of a strike. A quality reception has a unique sound to it that can’t be measured quantitatively. This adds to the story and influences an umpires decision. You can’t learn to manipulate the ball until you learn to consistently pocket it. VOLUMN UP! #bottomfeeders
00:00 - Yeah….not funthe guts to stand in on a Gerrit Cole fastball with no gear and only flinch that little is wild
00:00 - One of my all time favorite people. I’m going to miss the legendary belt speeches, the heavy metal riffs, the sensible personality, and the blue collar like cage sessions in pursuit of mastery. @the_higster is a first ballot HOF person & teammate. Congrats on a resilient and
15 years in the Yankees organization. From catching a no-hitter to catching a perfect game. A fantastic teammate. A leader in the community. For all that you’ve done on and off the field, thank you, @the_higster 💙 - Thanks for joining us today Gwen! Long overdue….In 1961, Gwen Goldman was rejected to be the Yankees bat girl because of her gender. Today, the 70-year-old finally got to fulfill that dream. 🙏
- D2 infielder actually....Replying to @BLocsportsI know the twins are very influenced by the guy that is now with the Yankees. I believe a D2 catcher.
- Slow motion extension to flexion mapping. There’s tremendous value in going fast and allowing the body to self organize. Slowing it down also has a role in high level motor pattern development. Here’s @02Chami progressing from slow to fast. #bottomfeeders
00:00 - Can’t fake selfless. Walk-off double by @the_higster and look who are the first two to greet him. “A rising tide lifts all boats”. Love these dudes!
- The Yankees today announced the 2025 coaching staff under Manager Aaron Boone:
- The “catching has never been worse” narrative is tired. Here’s what we know. ✔️Velocity is 📈 ⬆️ ✔️Pitch movement is 📈⬆️ ✔️OS usage is 📈⬆️ ✔️In Zone rate 📉⬇️ Catching has never been harder! Interestingly, EP’s are the lowest since 15’ while framing skills are improving.
- Challenging receiving motor patterns. Constraint based training is threefold: change the task, change the environment, or change the ORGANISM. A less popular yet effective way to enhance variability is via fatigue to the organism itself @paulvenner @FransBoschBook @ShoulderSphere
00:00 - Experimenting with perturbations to challenge the finish/presentation in receiving. “Attractor muscles need fluctuations to further stabilize” @FransBoschBook @FLBaseballRanch @BASEbyPros
00:00 - The champagne burn never gets old. Milestones are only meaningful when they are shared with people you care about. Thanks @HipHipJose5 and @wellsius16 for letting this guy ride your coattails. One to go….#WorldSeriesBound
